  1. Mitsubishi HC1500 DLP Home Theater Projector Review: Overview

    Reviewer: Projector reviews
    4 August 2007

    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. Filling my 128" screen with sufficient brightness,... Read more

    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. Besides all these, the projector performed exceptionally well in our tests but there is another new projector in town that could knock this one out, the... Read more

    (link to specs) is slightly brighter. Mostly the HC1500 is simply redesigned to be less expensive to build in volume, and that's good for consumers. Read more

  3. "Hard to beat for the price"

    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). I do not experience the "rainbow effect" on any DLP displays, but I have heard... Read more
