Mitsubishi HC7000 - Image Quality-6

Posted on November 19, 2008 by Art Feierman

Below is a heavily overexposed scene from Lord of the Rings. The overexposure lets you see all the details in the shed on the right, the structure on the left, and the plants and ground along the lower right. The HC7000 performs very nicely.

Click on left thumbnail image for the Mitsubishi HC7000, PT-AE3000 in the center, and the right for the InFocus IN83.

(Please note, the 2nd image is a little blurry, must have bumped the tripod. Sorry! That shouldn't affect your ability to see the shadow details. -art)

The 1st image , from Space Cowboys reviews some good shadow detail in the supports on the left and right.

In the 2nd image, from Aeon Flux, look at the shadow details in the form of the table surface, shadows on the table, and dark areas in the foods and around them.

HC7000 Bottom Line: Shadow details

The HC7000 really does a good job, it manages to reveal lots of very dark details. In addition, the combination of the details and the black levels give the projector more "pop and wow" to the image than those that are just as good on shadow details, but can't match the black level performance.
