If you are a high-definition video enthusiast who's looking for a more affordable way to bring a front-screen projection to your home theater or family room, the Mitsubishi HC1500 projector is the right choice for you.
Forget the mere 70 inches of even large flat-panel displays, the HC1500 DLP Projector lets you project a high definition image hundreds of inches large. With its quiet operation and huge, beautiful picture, the HC1500 could make your home cinema the envy of all your neighbors.
The HC1500 is just 6.5 pounds and has 1600 ANSI lumens of brightness and a 2500:1 contrast ratio. View larger. View product details.
The HC1500 can project an image up to 275 inches for a true theater experience.
True HD Images The HC1500 DLP projector projects video in a native 720p format so you get a highly detailed HD picture that looks crisp even at large sizes. It features Texas Instruments BrilliantColor, which utilizes a seven-segment color wheel and an algorithm that enables brighter mid-tones and more realistic color. The HC1500 also offers 1600 ANSI lumens of brightness and a 2500:1 contrast ratio. Depending on the size of your room, you can project the image from 40 inches to 275 inches diagonal. The HC1500 has a lamp life of 3000 hours in low mode and 2000 hours in bright mode.
Pure Connection From Source to Screen The HC1500 has HDMI 1.2 and component cable connections to ensure a pure input signal from beginning to end. With 10-bit processing, the information is unsullied and the result is a pure image on the screen.
Be advised that this projector (as with most projectors) does not include a tuner; to watch television, you need to provide a television signal, either through an external tuner or a cable box.
Easy Set Up and Quiet Operation At just 6.5 pounds, the HC1500 is easy to transport and move around in your home theater room, and it has both vertical and horizontal digital keystone correction that makes it easy to mount on the ceiling or place on a table. The HC1500 operates at a quiet 25dBA that won't distract you while you're enjoying movies or television. A 12-volt Trigger jack allows the projector to control a compatible motorized screen. A remote control with backlit buttons is included.
The HC1500 is backed by a 1-year limited parts and labor warranty, and a 90-days lamp warranty.

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... more info
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... more info
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)... more info
Don't Worry, Just Buy It!:
Just like you, I pored through all of these reviews looking for any and all information that I could find about this projector. You have two types of reviews I've found: "regular guy" reviews and audio-video expert reviews that overwhelm you with low-level details. From a "regular guy" perspective, if you are going to watch movies & football then my advice would be to stop looking and just buy it. You can't beat this level of quality for the price. The picture is great right out of the box and... more info
