NEC HT1100 projector

With the price of projectors coming down, they are now as affordable as a 32in widescreen television, yet with twice the projection. In steps the HT1100 from NEC a monster of a projector that promises, and delivers, a maximum screen size of 300in to...

Plenty of inputs, plenty of cables in the box, Big screen area, 16:9 support rather than 4:3, eco mode

Runs hot, Noisy, Speakers are not to be relied on

Overall, this is a very good player that will offer the serious home cinema user all that they want from a high end consumer projector, however high end never comes cheap and the £3,500 accompanying price tag may scare a few off. Of course, measuring...

Eighteen months ago NEC released the HT1000, the company's first digital video projector built specifically for the home theater market. With potential contrast up to 3000:1 it quickly captured a lot of attention. Due to its exceptional video...

As far as video projectors go, both of these units are superb price/performers. We cannot recommend one over the other, as they have different strengths and attributes. They are in the same ballpark as far as street prices are concerned, so price is...

NEC HT1000 Review

Last week NEC began shipping the HT1000, the company's first digital projection system built specifically for the consumer home theater market. We were extremely impressed with the pre-production model we evaluated in September, and we've now seen the...

If you have budgeted up to about $5,000 for your new projector, in terms of pure video quality for the dollar spent the NEC HT1000 and the Sanyo PLV-70 stand out as the two leading-edge home theater systems in that price range at the moment. Consider...
