Mitsubishi HC5500 1080p LCD Home Theater Projector




Black reproduction is the key to stunning home theater and the HC5500 LCD projector brings more life to your screen with faster transitions between light and dark scenes and sharper overall details in dark areas. This portable home theater projector projects at a full HD(1920 x 1080) 1080p resolution. Digital video output gives you seamless performance with the Blu-ray 24P next generation optical disk. And a 1.2x powered zoom and focus lens lets you enjoy the big screen even in smaller spaces.

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Everything that you would expect from a PJ
I did a lot of research before buying this PJ, the deciding factors for me were the Hollywood FX upscaling chip and the noise levels that are the lowest in the industry.

The upscaling chip helps upscale any lower resolution image to 1080p and does it handsomely. We will not be watching blu-ray movies all the time and this was an important factor for me.

As far as the noise levels are concerned, I have heard projectors that emit a low (or sometimes even high!) pitched whine while running, and once you know about the noise it can become very distracting. This PJ on the other is practically noiseless, you cannot hear it while it is running even if you put your ear right next to it.

Picture quality is outstanding with none of the “flicker” normally associated with fast moving objects with LCD projectors. I watch action movies and have not seen any “flicker” at all.

It does need a reasonably light controlled room as it is not as bright as an Optoma HD71 for example, especially at the “low” lamp setting, but on the other hand the “low” lamp setting is supposed to give you 5000 hours of usage.

Buy it, you cannot go wrong.

5 Stars Just get it
Picture is bright in Low lamp mode. I am not a video expert, but this unit is amazing. If it is the right price, just get it and be happy. I have owned this model for over 6 months and I’m still amazed every time I turn it on.

2 Stars Good for dark rooms
I would rate this projector 4 or above if I want to use it only in dark room. If you have reasonable ambient light in room then forget about any night scene. May be this was with my unit only so I returned. Good service from Amazon no hard time in returning.
