OPTOMA HD141x issue?

stezie

Hi , about 5/6 months ago, I bought the OPTOMA HD141X from yourselves.

I didn't get to use it an extensively as I wanted at the start but now I am.

Im wondering if these units are known for having a noisey fan, or have I a faulty unit? When I mean noisy, it really drones and over powers the volume of the dialogue in most movies.

I was hoping to use this for tv use and permantly do away with the wall mounted tv. But I cant.

It also defeats the purpose of running going to the bother of having a silent media center computer, when then fan in this thing can be heard all the time. I have tried all the different power/colour and eco settings but that only makes it sound more "angry" !

Stezie,

thanks a million for the post and apologies for the inconvenience.

Unfortunately PJ's do generate some fan noise and especially the more compact units as they have to dissipate the heat generated somehow and unfortunately that can result in fan noise.

...However saying that the 141 has generally been well received and perceived as a quiet unit so I'm a bit surprised at your post, we haven't had any issues with the 141 at all - if yo were unhappy with your own unit and you don't think its performing to standard you can send it back to us and we will have it checked out by the manufacturer - we also have a demo unit and we would be happy to send you that one for a refundable holding deposit so you could use it as a reference check against your own unit?

Keep us posted - never like to hear of a niggling issue so please don't hesitate to drop me a line and we will do our best to get it resolved for you.  

ATVB,
