Comments on Mitsubishi HC5500 LCD Projector

The HC5500 is the best Full HD LCD projector I've seen for under £1,500, making it a really tantalising option to consider if you can't quite run to the £1,500 (or more) asking price of Sony's slightly better VPL-HW10, or you hate the rainbow effect issue with the InFocus IN80. What's more, if the higher-spec Mitsubishi HC6500 we're hoping to get our hands on soon can perform significantly better than the HC5500, we could be in for a real treat. Watch this space.

I bought mine discounted as a discontinued model. Have been very impressed by the picture quality. It's really quiet in use and has plenty of scope for user adjustment. True, I would say that the blacks are not as inky black as the very best projectors, but I'm using a very cheap screen so it's unfair to compare too heavily with showroom stuff. Running off my LG blu-ray produces a superb picture, smooth, good definition, good colour balance and bright, alive saturation. Watching 'We Were Soldiers' blu-ray, or Hurt Locker, was so vivid and realistic, amazing depth and contrast. Running off SD from a Humax tuner the picture remains very good.

Having seen many more expensive projectors in operation remain impressed by this.
