Eric, Amen to that, it was an outstanding performance, He and G.E. Smith took turns picking songs – for one, one hour period (this was basically the blues) they kept seeing who could come up with the most depressing story line song. 3 hours of playing, not one song repeated, even though it was across two separate shows. – a

Hi dean,

The HC1600 was brighter, we measured it (adjusted to our new numbers as of 1/2009), as about 1500 lumens. But to get that, you’d need Brilliant Color set all the way to 10, which on the HC1600 is Way over the top. Since you are already in Eco mode, you probably aren’t cranking Brilliant color way up.

OK, visit our old review of the HC1600. this link takes you right to the brightness:
For older reviews to compare with newer ones, take any old lumen rating and multiply by 0.72 for numbers that will match our more recent and more accurate numbers.
On your HC1600 going from Brilliant Color at 0 to max at 10 over doubles the lumens.

Ok, don’t forget to adjust for the metering change, but you have what you need to compare the two projectors for brightness, between our two reviews… -art

Yup, love Jorma… especially his bluegrass stuff. What a versatile musician. I saw him in Petaluma, Ca. a few years ago. It was really wonderful.

quick question to anyone who can answer. I currently have the mitsubishi hc1600 and was planning to go with the mits hc3800 as an upgrade. the 1600 is listed at 1700 lumens vs. 1300 for the 3800. the hc1600 in eco.mode puts out just the right brightness for our living room. will the 38 be able to compete or exceed this brightness since the ratings aren’t usually too acurate. and picture quality comparison is it night and day like I would imagine? thanks dean
