Mitsubishi HC1500 Projector Specifications Mitsubishi HC1500 Projector: Pros Overall, excellent performance for a sub-$1000 home theater projector Better than average sharpness Extremely bright projector (one of the brightest 720p models out there) Especially bright in Cinema mode – my 128″ screen was not a problem Far less visible pixels than any of the LCD projectors (except the more expensive Panasonic PT-AX100U – which produces a softer image) Good but not great color balance out of the box (generally a bit “cool”), easily adjustable Good menus Filter free design, for less maintenance Very good manual, with good levels of explanation for most items Brilliant Color allows easy enhancement of image, and rich colors 12volt screen trigger Easy to use Mitsubishi HC1500 Projector: Cons 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 shipping as of this writing) One year parts and labor warranty is shorter than some in this price range Backlit buttons on the remote are very dim Projector must be unmounted to change the lamp Small “main” menu stays on screen until you close it. Lack of lens shift (typical of under $2000 DLP projectors) Limited placement flexibility 1.
