Optoma Themescene HD-3000 HD3000 Video Processor

NEW in box, this has been out of the box approximately three times, once to have it's firmware updated and the other two times for testing and review. This unit is guaranteed 1080p compatible and on the latest firmware. I have to tell you that part of the clip that holds the front flap up appears to have broken off, however this does not affect operation and the front flap still stays in place.

So this is the Optoma HD-3000, its the video processor that many enthusiasts have in their systems for up-scaling 480p material. It's also particularly good with 720p signals from an Xbox 360 or PS3 and with DVD's and interlace material. If you want to see the quality of the scaling engine compared to other processors there are some good examples on this page http://retrogaming.hazard-city.de/

The unit comes with everything needed, remote control, batteries, connecting cables, instruction manual all in new condition.

UK BIDDERS ONLY - This is too heavy to post abroad. Postage is £24.50 standard parcels insured anywhere in the UK. Due to some retarded new E-Bay policy I can't actually put the postage cost in because it's more than £9 (shakes head in disbelief).
