Hi,

I just realised that i am buying this from the US, however they have different voltage there to connect to the,mains power, will this be an issue for me because in Australia we have 240volts, will i need to buy an adaptor or something?

Probably not. Most appliances these days are built with dual-winding transformers that can cope with US-standard 110v and the 220/240v systems used in most other countries. It's less expensive than making different models per-territory. It'll probably come with a US mains cable in the box, though, so you'll need an Australian-style mains cable for it. I would recommend replacing the whole lead, don't just put an Oz plug on the US cable - the cable may not be rated for 240v @ whatever amps your projector needs. Do check the manual - there may be a switch hidden somewhere that you need to change when using 240v; but these days most appliances are auto-switching.

A quick Google says that this particular model from Optoma is rated for 100-240v. Assuming it's auto-switching all you need do is supply a correct mains lead and you're good to go.

Hope that helps...

hello,

thank goodness, yes i checked the specs and it sayd 110v - 240v so i can safely assume i will be ok, i do have an adaptor at home so i do not think i should have any problems!

thanks for your reply,

Ok, i received both projectors now the question is as i do not have much space i can only use 1 projector, shall i use the dell s300 or the optomo 750e?

Also i am having hard time positioning the projector as if i place it behind me i get shadow of myself, if i place the projector on the side the image looks all skewed, any options without hanging on the ceiling?

Also i love the huge view but the lower resolutions will be getting used to.

hi

on the optomo 750E it states "Maximum Resolution VGA: UXGA (1600 x 1200), HDMI: 1080p"

does this mean i can fly FSX in 1600 x 1200 using this projector?

i found the details on this link

I have not opened this projector as yet as i am still playing around with the Dell 300s i have as well.
