5 out of 5 stars great value   December 4, 2008
I picked mine up at on sale Best Buy for $600 (before tax), and what a deal! I've got mine set to a 60 inch screen setting from about 10 feet away, and it looks fantastic. Air filter is easy to clean, and is compatible with most ceiling mounts. Has all sorts of connectivities and is great for work (laptop) and home entertainment. Works best in a low-light room. Standing within 2 feet of screen can reveal DLP grid, but completely invisible from normal viewing distances.


5 out of 5 stars A great projector   November 16, 2008
I built my Home Theater Room over a year ago, and did a lot of research and settled on this projector. If I could do it all over again, I would again pick this same projector. After a year of steady use (an hour a day, average) the projector is as bright, clear and as fresh from the box. At 2 to 3 thousand hour bulb life, this projector is going to last another 5 to 6 years. Over the past year I did buy (and returned) some HDMI cables, and an upconvert DVD player and saw no noticeble difference in picture quality over the radio shack component video cables. You don't need an expensive screen, so run your cables in the wall, under the carpet, or thru cable hides and your projector will seem to operate by magic, out of the way, overhead, and silently.


5 out of 5 stars best projector regardless of price   September 8, 2008
It cost me 1800.00. Picture is movie theater quality. Color and contrast (black/whites) is better than any projector even ones with higher specs. I use the bare wall for screen and its not even completely white wall. 100 inch wide screen and its better pic than most flat panel TVs. Make sure u connect using HDMI cable for best result. But composite connection is good too. Check this review http://www.projectorcentral.com/mitsubishi_hc3000.htm



3 out of 5 stars Great picture, loud fan   July 29, 2008
 0 out of 1 found this review helpful

I bought this projector because Consumer Reports rated it in the top 5 models that they tested. It was also considered one of their best buys. I got it home and set it up. Immediately I noticed that the fan was very noisy. Once you are watching a movie with the surround sound going, you almost don't notice it until you come to a quiet scene. Also, we had to replace the first bulb within 4 months of owning the system. I would recommend getting the Sony VPL over this any time.
