Mitsubishi HC3000 720p DLP Front Projector

In prehistoric times (that is, around 10 years ago), Mitsubishi made a variety of CRT rear-projection TVs that were really good values for the dollar. Now, those dinosaurs are nearly extinct, and the company has evolved into a premier digital-display...

The HC3000 is a very good performer when compared to other similarly priced LCD and DLP projectors. It is particularly impressive as far as color accuracy is concerned. A direct comparison to the Sharp XV-Z2000U makes sense as they are exactly the same...

Mitsubishi HC3000

Excellent overall image quality (after a basic, end user color calibration) ; Extremely good black levels (best I've seen, for it's price or less) ; Fairly bright in best modes ; Very good manual (a rarity) ; Good menus, almost all functionality on...

Limited range of zoom lens (typical for DLP projectors in this price range) ; No variable lens shift (also typical of under $2500 DLP projectors) ; Remote control's backlighting is dim, and hard to see in a dark room ; Lacking a second digital input...

So, having spoiled some of the surprise, it's time to get down to the heart of the review

Mitsubishi HC3000 DLP Projector

As far as living with top shelf projectors is concerned, I've lived a charmed life over the last few years. Sony Qualia 004, JVC's 1080P D-ILA, premium single-chip and three-chip DLP projectors, I've lived with the best of the best. And yet, in spite...

Mitsubishi HC3000 DLP Projector

The case in point here is Mitsubishi's HC3000 single-chip DLP projector. Its diminutive $2500 price tag doesn't buy you state-of-the-art performance, but it buys enough to leave this reviewer shaking his head in disbelief. I've been in home theater...

Mitsubishi HC3000 DLP Projector

Rich, natural, and dimensional image

No vertical lens shift

I didn't maintain much of a poker face with this review, as the enthusiasm of the opening paragraphs attests. Projectors in this price range typically have to cut corners, and this one is no different. Only Sony, with its 3LCD Cineza projectors, has...

Review: Mitsubishi HC3000

The Mitsubishi HC3000 home theater projector, one of the most highly anticipated new product releases of the season, has just begun to appear on dealer shelves. It has attracted a great deal of attention for two reasons: (1) it is the first DLP...

The Mitsubishi HC3000 may be viewed as a breakthrough product in the world of DLP technology for having pushed 1280x768 resolution to the lowest price points yet. The pixel matrix of 768 lines, which is rare at this time in home theater projectors,...

Mitsubishi HC3000 DLP Video Projector

Introduction There has never been a better time to take the plunge into a big-screen, front-projection home theater. Why, you ask? Two reasons: the products available have never been better in terms of picture quality and performance, and the prices...

Mitsubishi HC3000

Superior colours, Rich blacks, Low heat emissions.

Slightly overpriced, some noise in low grays.

If you are in the market for a high quality cinema projector that is light weight, compact and delivers with fervor, this is the projector for you.
