Mitsubishi HC6000 Summary

The HC6000 has a lot of things going for it. It's just a very well designed projector. Although it's a bit more than several other models, I have no doubt that it's price performance proposition, is a good one. In other words, if it's bright enough, works for your room and budget, it is a very good choice, with lots of strengths but it really is an all-around well designed projector, and certainly would be a great default projector. You might find another model in its price range that will serve your needs better, but many will choose the HC6000, and be most pleased.
