 Compact, Lightweight, Simple to Use June 5, 2008
This is the 1st projector I have purchased and I bought this model based on reviews that I read. If you take the time to read the instructional booklet you should have little problems setting this up. For the money,and considering the price of projectors just a year ago, this is a good value. The picture it produces appears sharp and this sytem focuses very simply. In addition, Mitsubishi has a great website offering q&a for the answers you cannot find in the booklet. I also had a technical question that I couln't find the answer for, so I called their tech support. They were very helpful which is not always the case with electronic manufacturers.
 Cheap: YES!, Picture FANTASTIC!, and Tested YES ! June 2, 2008

Hi Everyone,
I got this HC1500 projector after months of research and read till my mind was spinning. They all said this unit was great. So I got it to see for my self. WOW! was my first responds. Everyone in the room was in SHOCK! No rainbow effect, beautiful HD picture quality, No Noise from the projector. I hung it with the Vantage mount as stated and it went up just fine.
I was worried about the black color output, and if it was going to be washed out. The black and colors are great! You don't need a gray screen or wall with gray tones at all.
I am using my family-room wall at 14 feet throw distance. I got a 120 inch screen. Please plug in your projector and adjust it's location before you mount it for the best picture for your room.
DON'T WORRY ABORT USING GOO OR ANY OTHER SCREEN PAINT!
After you setup your projector you will see it looks good on the wall,
but to add brightness and save your bulb.
Check for major scratches and holds in the wall.
Patch them with drywall compound and sand smooth.
Use standard paint rollers for application and make sure you roll out any streaks. DON"T LET STREAKS DRY!
Paint wall with KILZ If you had wholes to fix, so that the compound wont drink up you paint.
If you do not have to fix the wall, you don't need to paint with the KILZ.
Mount and Turn On your Project,
Set it and the screen size you want.
Use blue scotch removable tape to go around the edges of the projected screen on the wall.
Use paint listed below to paint in your wall screen.
I have researched what to use on my wall and found that
using Home Depot BEHR Ultra Pure Flat white really works great, because you can use the low lamp light to extend your bulb's life to 3000+ hours.
Let dry for 2 hours or 4 hours if you are in a really damp area.
Then I toped the white coat of paint with Lowes VALSPAR Signature Colors Quart of "Clear Coat Flat", Item #64675 at lowes.
The clear flat will help brighten the picture using low lamp light. Remember to paint it "over top" of your BEHR White Flat Coat.
Let Dry, and WHAT DID I TELL YOU ! Looks Great huh!
Finally to really make your screen even brighter looking and POP Out at you, Attach cloth black velvet border on a thin, 2 inch wide wood strip around the screen you painted on the wall. Nice!
I have watched HD TV, Blueray Movies, and Played HD Video games and WOW!
This HC1500 Projector did what it said it could do and it looks just as good as a $5,000 model I was looking at.
Bye, It's Time to watch another Blueray Movie.
Better than most projectors at a LOW price May 31, 2008
This projector may not look as sleek as other pricier projectors, but unlike others, this projector makes up for looks with picture. It provides an amazing viewing experience at a low cost for a projector. Has a very bright picture and produces the sharpest image I've ever seen. Very easy menu, set up takes less than 5 minutes. Best projector I've seen.
great product May 25, 2008
works great image is real great and does not make so much noise. menus are easy as well.
Can't beat the price May 22, 2008
Fantastic picture, especially for the price (under $800). With such a good picture - bright, sharp and clean - there's no reason to spend a ton of $$$$ on a 1080p projector. I am able to use this projector in a media room with some light creeping in, and the picture still looks great. One small complaint - every now and then when switching sources (using HDMI for Cable DVR, component for DVD, and RCA for VCR...) it displays a blue screen instead of the picture, and I have to press the input button again to get it to acquire the picture. Can't beat the price, though... I haven't seen a DLP projector with a nicer picture for under $2000.
