Mitsubishi HC5000 review: Mitsubishi HC5000

 

Mitsubishi HC5000

Relatively inexpensive for a 1080p projector; accurate color decoding; solid video processing; well-rounded feature package.

Iris settings are not good enough for dedicated darkened theater setups, and consequently blacks are not as deep as the best 1080p projectors.

Although stylish and affordable for a 1080p projector, the Mitsubishi HC5000's black level failings prevent it from earning our recommendation.

Mitsubishi HC5000 Projector Review

 

In a sea of new 1080p projectors being released this year, Mitsubishi has a distinctive product that sets it apart as a leader. The C2Fine technology renders an incredible picture and does indeed

VERY quiet ; No screen door effect ; Motorized lens shift, zoom, and focus ; Backlit remote ; Native 1080p/24/60 support ; HDMI 1.3 with 480i support

Slow, noticeable, undefeatable auto-iris ; Weak remote signal ; HDMI didn't pass Blacker-than-black ; Cumbersome menu system ; Limited horizontal lens shift range

Mitsubishi HC5000 1080p Front Projector

 

Normally, a new performance plateau is defined by products at the highest possible prices, followed by less expensive models as more consumers fund larger manufacturing volumes. For some reason, however, this is not the case with 1080p front...

Mitsubishi HC5000 Three-chip LCD projector

 

No, the compelling story of CEDIA 2006 in front projection was the growing number of three-chip LCD and LCoS 1080p projectors that were well south of $10K. Standing out tall among these was Mitsubishi's HC5000, not only because it was one of the least...

Mitsubishi HC5000 Three-chip LCD projector

 

CEDIA 2006 was something of a riches to rags story. We saw many three-chip 1080p DLP projectors announced at prices that were ridiculous and embarrassing, stretching into the many tens of thousands of dollars. And they were introduced with straight...

Outstanding, eye-popping resolution to HD limits

Dynamic iris clunky and obvious in operation

This is a somewhat difficult conclusion to draw because while the HC5000's foibles clearly crossed my frustration tolerance threshold by being distracting enough to remind me of the technology while watching movies, it is also priced very attractively...

Review: Mitsubishi HC5000 Home Theater Projector

 

Mitsubishi is flexing some real muscle in the world of home theater projectors these days. Their recently released HD1000, a 720p projector retailing at $1,495 is an outstanding value for the money. And coming on the heels of that release is the...

Mitsubishi HC5000BL

 

Let's get started

Excellent overall out of the box performance ; Especially good flesh tones ; Rich saturated colors ; Very good shadow detail ; Excellent black levels (within the limitations of dynamic irises) ; Excellent placement flexibility (1.6 zoom, and more lens...

Brightness is average - limiting screen size, and a potential problem with those dealing with more than a minimum of ambient light ; Remote's range is slightly limited ; Backlight comes on when you press any button - I prefer a dedicated backlight button

Perhaps the really important point here, is that it really was a pleasure watching Phantom, and the 5th Element, and even Sin City (a real challenge for dynamic iris projectors)
