    There are some quirks to point out though. There is no lens shift except for the extendable feet in the back and front, and the zoom was somewhat limited in our testing setup. In addition, it was hard to get the projector to fit our 80" wall-mounted screen especially where our testing projectors normally are located. Read more

    • Bright image., Crisp and rich colors., Relatively quiet at 25dB., Great for consumers on a budget.
    • Noticeable screen door effect up close., Only 1 HDMI input.

    Got $999 or less? If you can make the HC1500 work in your room, it's going to be hard to beat. In terms of picture quality, it has the advantage over the Optoma HD70, which is overall, very similar in design, and placement. Overall, the HC1500 produces an extremely watchable and film-like result, as is typical of good DLP home theater projectors. Even better, it combines its picture quality with extremely bright output.

    • Overall, excellent performance for a sub-$1000 home theater projector, Better than average sharpness, Extremely bright projector (one of the brightest 720p models out ...
    • A bit noisy in bright lamp mode, but not overly so (typical DLP projector), Limited zoom range, HDMI 1.2, not 1.3 (only a couple of projectors with 1.3 are currently s...

    I bought this with the Silvermax 94h projector screen and this thing is solid. Performs with a astonishing picture, accurate and detailed image. I have this on a pioneer elite receiver with ps3, xbox 360, tivo HD w/ verizon service. Blu-Ray and HD Cable look excellent, standard TV looks great and the PS3 and XBOX 360 are incredible and lifelike. Read more

    • Excellent skin tone right out of the box
    • Odd throw when mounting higher than screen on shelf, had to shim it even more then projectors legs could extend, eventually got picture perfect.

    I have owned this unit for about 6 months (400hrs) and overall I am very pleased with its performance. It is very bright, which in most applications will allow you to run the lamp in low mode which will extend bulb life. My unit is mounted to the celing, and is projected on 106" 1.8 gain screen, color quality and contrast look good through a variety of sources (Bluray, Xbox 360, Directv, PC). Read more

    • Very bright, quiet, overall image quality
    • Focus length may make some installs tough
