 Nice July 15, 2008
This is a very nice projector. I havent had any problems with it what so ever. My screen size is 7 feet 6 inches wide by 4 feet 3 inches tall. You havent played GTA 4 (XBOX 360) till youve played it like this! A++++
 great product July 8, 2008
I am totally thrilled. This is my first HD device. So, for a 720P/1080i device, it meets all my expectations.
Great picture - great product July 7, 2008
My wife is great. For our anniversary, she bought me a 92 inch projection screen. I asked her, what am I supposed to do with this? She said "make an outdoor theater". Well, we do live in southern California. I consider myself an expert on consumer electronics, but had not tackled projectors So, I did a week's worth of research on them. I only required 720p and wanted to stay under $1000. I also wanted a lot of brightness and did not want to worry about lamp alignment, so a DLP seemed the right way to go. This one and the model it replaced had a very loyal following and was at the top of many reviews, so I bought it.
I hung the screen between two French doors. When I want to watch a movie, I turn my Tannoy speakers around and put them in the open French doors, carry the projector outside, hook up the HDMI to a DVD player, and run the audio to my receiver.
The HC1500 is great. Easy to set up, a lighted remote, and light-weight. It has an on screen menu that is easy to navigate and intuitive. It doesn't waste components with an LED to tell you the lamp hours, it is easily obtainable in the menus. It also has a two year warranty. This is my first Mitsubishi product, and I am very happy with it.
A lot of projector for the buck July 7, 2008
I could not be happier with my projector. The HC 1500 is very good. I am using it in my basement in a recent remodel which ended up being a 500 sqf home theather/ media center. The wall (not using screens or other artifacts) it is projecting is a 150" (diagonal). The only thing that surprise me in a not so positive way was the distance the projector requires away from the wall in order to get that size of screen which is around 20 ft away. I am glad I chose the Vantage Point CGUPM12-S Universal Front Projector Mount because I ended up in need to mount against the opposite wall in order to don't lose any size in projection. Thios is my first projector so this maybe a caracteristic all others wqoul have anyway.
NOW LETS TALK ABOUT THE PICTURE. OMG. OMG. OMG. What a picture. And the blacks!! Perfect.
If you don't get a good picture with this equipment is because the source you are feeding it with is not good quality, I have nearly 100 music DVDs and you can see the difference in between them. Some have very good picture quality - some don't, so we can't expect the projector to fix it. Watch Shania Twain's "That don't impress me much" video to have your mouth falling from your head. The colors will blow your mind (besides she is a steal :D).
Excellent projector... July 5, 2008
I bought this after weeks of searching for a projector to use as a home "drive-in" setup. For those of you who want to take advantage of warm summer nights (with little to no wind!) this projector is perfect! You will have to wait until dusk to get a decent image on a decent screen, but by the time it gets dark you will have a spectacular image. The screen I'm using is 120" and the projector fills it up perfectly. The clarity and colors are fantastic for a lower end projector. Ease of use is great also. Comes with everything you need to plug in your input source (if it's not an Apple product).
The 1500 is truly a great way to get into the home theater hobby and start building your dream setup. I bought a screen from Dell, but Amazon had some great deals also. Drive-in setup cost was this:
Projector $760
Screen $130
Fence poles $ 20
Umbrella stds. $ 60
Total $970
If you have about $1000 you can have a great drive-in experience every night with family and/or friends and the added plus of being able to take it where you want to.
