Excellent home theater projector
The HC1500 is an excellent projector that I have been using in a DIY home theater installation. It replaced an InFocus LP330 that I purchased used several years ago. The only drawback I have found, and it is a minor one, is that the throw ratio does not provide much flexibility. You should do some homework to ensure that your picture will fit on your screen, given the proposed distance between the projector and your screen.
In my installation the screen and projector are both fix-mounted. Since both are wall-mounted not ceiling-mounted, I had no latitude to adjust the distance between the projector and the screen. At first it appeared that the smallest picture size (available through adjustment of the manual zoom lens) would ... Read More
iTS....OK.....
This thing is ok, it looks good i guess, i had it set up while my old PHILLIPS tube tv was hooked up(with standard coax) and the colors were better on my old tv than the projector(plugged into my fios dvr with HDMI). The throw range on this thing SUCKS in comparison to some other projectors and I am picky. If im paying a thousand or so for a projector it better be loaded with options. If you wan't a LARGE image you better have a HUGE room to put this thing in as its location dictates the size of the picture.(the zoom function barley does a thing on this projector). As most people dont have a 25 / 20ft room to put this projector in do some research as Throw range is an important factor
Great Projector for anyone
I first looked at many reviews on this projector online, I was mainly looking for something that was affordable but packed what I needed for whatever I might do. This projector had it all! It also was given the highest in reviews everywhere so my mind was made up.
Now I'm not like the other guys who seem to be professionals at this type of thing, but i wanted something to play my video games on and such and maybe more. When I first turned it on I was amazed. The brightness level blocks out any lights I have on and creates perfectly crisp and clear pictures with the best color I've seen in a projector and I've seen a lot. Though I laugh at amazons pic of a family watching in a room which appears lit by sunlight, which kills the pictures ... Read More
Outstanding value
I am really pleased with my projector. I have had it over 9 months and am still blown away at the quality. HD TV is mind blowing, especially sports. I have had many friends over, who have spent way more than me on large LCD TV. They cant believe how much I have paid, compared to their TVs. I have heard "Your picture is just as good as mine" more than once. I have it projected on a white wall, and it looks great. (One friend thought the wall was a TV.) It also works great with my PS3. Overall I think it is a steal for the price. I don`t see why anyone would buy a TV when they can get a projector. If you have the room, and a large white wall it is the only way to go.

A true HD Home Theatre (HDMI) w/Blu-ray experience!!!!!
If you want High Definition with HDMI and Blu-ray inputs at a very reasonable price the Mitsubishi HC-1500 7 color wheel DLP projector is the steal of the century for you!!!
Not the newest projector but the best priced one for your home theatre.
My Qualifying statement: My HD home theatre weighs in at about $2000 plus movies. A break down is; Mitsubishi HC-1500 $800 (orig $1495), Sony 5.1 Sound system (HT-ss2300) $400 (orig $500) and the Playstation 3 w/Blu-ray $400 and HDMI (Sony high speed) cables $160. Plus $150 HD Screen paint kit for my 108" viewing wall screen. With this I have created a home HD Theatre presentation equal to IMAX (on a smaller scale).
The crown jewel to this fantastic home experience is ... Read More
