Great shadow detail ; Extremely bright, especially for an entry-level priced projector, ideal for sports and TV viewing, or movies on larger screens (not the brightest, but up there) ; Reasonably good, but not great, out of the box color ; Very good...

Slow 2x speed color wheel ; Only one HDMI input ; Mediocre black level performance ; Limited placement flexibility due to lack of lens shift and short range zoom ; Remote is not backlit, and has small buttons (though layout is good) ; Needs a basic...

Keep in mind that we reviewers tend to make a big deal about lots of little details. More to the point, with that basic calibration, you can enjoy a very bright home theater projector, with very pleasing color performance. You'll love it on sports, and...

Mitsubishi HC1600™ with the 1 year manufacturer's warranty has a retail price of $999.00. Some online retailers have dropped the price to less than $900.00. That indeed is a very good price for this 720P HD Projector. Now you can enjoy HDTV and...

Excellent picture and brightness - we use it in a darker room. Easy setup for us, HDMI from cable DVR and VGA from computer. Got a great price and a free bulb when we purchased. Hard to beat that! Excellent connectivity also. The kids love watching...

None really. People always say "could be brighter" or "could be 1080p" but that isn't what we bought or paid for. Can't think of anything I expected but didn't find, then again we did A LOT of research prior to buying

This projector is bright enough to be used in a normal room with a fair amount of light. It's 720p, so the picture looks very nice

The refresh rate is low. Usually this is not an issue. Only one input for each type. You can use a receiver with video passthrough to get around this though

For the $, you can't beat this projector. My old Benq died so I purchased this and, when it arrived, it took all of 3 minutes to have the ceiling mount moved over and get it up and running. I, personally, do not see any of the rainbow effect and the...

Kind of limited on inputs but, if you plan it out right, this should not be a problem

Cost. This projector was by far the cheapest 16:9 projector I could find new. I wasn't expecting much from it but it looks great in the home theater. Everyone who watches movies at my place is very impressed. For the price, I don't know how you can...

I've had close to 2 dozen different people watch movies with this thing and only one has complained about the rainbows. The 2x color wheel is to blame. It doesn't bother me but it is an issue for some

I upgraded to this projector from an old Mitsubishi SL4U. All I have to say is WOW! I am very happy with this unit. The picture is crystal clear. HDMI functions beautifully. The colors were ok out of the box, but they were easy to tweak to more...

Some people say the fan is loud, but this unit is actually WAY quieter than my old projector. Not a con, just a point

Easy setup, great picture quality and brightness when viewed in low enough lighting. Great price. Have gotten well over the 3,000 hours on the bulb. HD sports and movies are awesome. 8' diagonal at a throw distance of about 15-20 ft

Screen cannot have any lights on it. If so, image gets dull, but is still viewable. Having a ceiling mount would help with walking in front of projector. Will eventually have to purchase expensive bulbs ; Watching too much sports and movies

AWESOME. Very nice picture. I am shooting it at 92". Love the Bluray on it. Save some money and get this beautiful piece of machinery

None. Wife says she say the rainbow effect during Dark knight. I didnt see anything except perfection
