Overall, excellent performance for a sub-$1000 home theater projector ; Better than average sharpness ; Extremely bright projector (one of the brightest 720p models out there) ; Especially bright in Cinema mode - my 128" screen was not a problem ; Far...

A bit noisy in bright lamp mode, but not overly so (typical DLP projector) ; Limited zoom range ; HDMI 1.2, not 1.3 (only a couple of projectors with 1.3 are currently shipping as of this writing) ; One year parts and labor warranty is shorter than...

I was extremely impressed with the original HD1000U, the HC1500's predecessor. The two projectors are virtually identical, except for the increase in brightness that the HC1500 home theater projector offers. As of right now (8/07), I count the HC1500...

We already used up all of our superlatives in praising the HD1000U, and our enthusiasm carries over to the HC1500. Both will be granted the Editor's Choice Award. The bottom line is this: if your installation can accommodate the limitations of its zoom...

picture quality was awesome on dvds and even better using my PC with 720 resolution. I am projecting it on a 106" screen and even with the lights on u can see it well enough to keep up with whats going on in the movie

this thing dose not like heat, i had it mounted on the ceiling in a house that only has ac when we use it and one day after i tried to turn it on after the ac had been off for most of the day it did nothing. so i took it down and put it in a cold room...

Excellent skin tone right out of the box ; Excellent black levels ; Decent luminosity range ; Good contrast ; Plenty of inputs and picture settings ; Good rating on bulb life

Odd throw when mounting higher than screen on shelf, had to shim it even more then projectors legs could extend, eventually got picture perfect ; Runs pretty hot ; As any projector, gets washed out in medium to high levels of light

I removed mine from the box, mounted in on the ceiling, connected to my computer (DVI>HDMI cable), and my high definition movies looked spectacular. My mounting location is 12 feet away from my screen (which happens to be the silvermax92h) and it is...

No automatic keystone correction, could heat my room in the winter... so keep the air conditioning running. However, you can save on your heating bill in the winter!!! Ha

I was very surprised by the clarity of this projector. For being under $1000 i was wondering if i was making a mistake. But i was pleasantly surprised. At first i used a Component adapter and then switched over to a DVID to HDMI and the clarity in 720p...

Bulbs cost around $275 and $350 and need to be replaced within 2000-3000 hours. For me this is going to be around 1.5 years at my current usage rate. But its still worth it in my opinion. I have a 130" screen for under $1000 plus $300 every year. Its...
