True HD Images
The HC1500 DLP projector projects video in a native 720p format so you get a highly detailed HD picture that looks crisp even at large sizes. It features Texas Instruments BrilliantColor, which utilizes a seven-segment color wheel and an algorithm that enables brighter mid-tones and more realistic color. The HC1500 also offers 1600 ANSI lumens of brightness and a 2500:1 contrast ratio. Depending on the size of your room, you can project the image from 40 inches to 275 inches diagonal. The HC1500 has a lamp life of 3000 hours in low mode and 2000 hours in bright mode.
Pure Connection From Source to Screen
The HC1500 has HDMI 1.2 and component cable connections to ensure a pure input signal from beginning to end. With 10-bit processing, the information is unsullied and the result is a pure image on the screen.
Be advised that this projector (as with most projectors) does not include a tuner; to watch television, you need to provide a television signal, either through an external tuner or a cable box.
Easy Set Up and Quiet Operation
At just 6.5 pounds, the HC1500 is easy to transport and move around in your home theater room, and it has both vertical and horizontal digital keystone correction that makes it easy to mount on the ceiling or place on a table. The HC1500 operates at a quiet 25dBA that won’t distract you while you’re enjoying movies or television. A 12-volt Trigger jack allows the projector to control a compatible motorized screen. A remote control with backlit buttons is included.
The HC1500 is backed by a 1-year limited parts and labor warranty, and a 90-days lamp warranty.

User Ratings and Reviews
4 Stars 8 months after, and no one can beat this unit yet
My first Home Theater projector was an InFocus IN72, which I loved, but was only 480p. So I sold it and in August 2008 I bought the Mitsubishi HC1500, which is 720p (native resolution of 1280×720). What can I say? Some of my friends keep asking me “when are you going to show that movie?”… Some of them were more than happy to watch the image produced by my old projector, and simply LOVE the image produced by the Mitsu.
Everything else has already been said. Just enjoy it.
8 months have passed and I have yet to find another affordable unit that is this good. At $792 including taxes and shipping to Brooklyn, this was a unique opportunity.
5 Stars Great projector
Have owned this now for about 2.5 years and love it…
The only issue is (as other reviewers have already alluded to) that if you need to floor/shelf mount it, you will need to at a very low height from the ground. Have placed mine at about 6-10 inches from the ground.. Anyone sitting near the projector is going to feel some heat.. Not much noise. Another issue with this product is that when you remove the shutter over the lens, your focus needs to be adjusted all over again.. Pretty simple to do so, but dont see why Mitsubishi didnt think of this..
As regards quality of image – its great, the blacks could have been darker, but am very happy with it. Brightness is quite good, and degradation precluding viewing occurs only with a lot of ambient light.
5 Stars Worth the $$$
I bought this around Thanksgiving
before ..(BCS and NFL) finals, primarily for ME (myself)!
(since no one else thought we should spend that much $$$’s for a big screen projector) SOOOooo, I made it a Christmas gift for US (all)!
I have personally used this (during the last 2 years ) about 60 ( YES!! … sixty) TOTAL hours; and, have walked in the room and seen everyone ELSE using it, CONSTANTLY.
the 2000 hour bulb warning has been indicating for some time now.
(while we (THEY) are approaching 3000 hours by NOW !)
Bulb still going !!! ($90 – $145 replacement cost . . . SOMEDAY!)
I put this with a reasonable sound system and it has…. BEEN WORTH IT!
The family loves it. I am glad.
Providing this (VALUE); QUALITY at this price.
I will BUY this brand again (1080i ) … when I save up some $$$$ and find a good reason to replace OR give this one away.
