5.0 out of 5 stars Mitsubishi HC3000U, January 24, 2007

By	Gary L - See all my reviews

The projector preforms very well. Picture quality is excellent. Easy to operate. With a ceiling mount and even though the projector has no lens shift I had no problem obtaining an image with no keystoning problems. Projector is extremely quiet. Very little fan noise. Switching between multiple input sources is easy. The projector is brighter that the one I replaced but I did expect it to be a little brighter that what it is. However brightness is very acceptable. Contrast is execellent.

5.0 out of 5 stars WOW, This is a great projector., November 25, 2007

By	D. Johnson (Boise, ID) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I shopped for 6 months before purchasing a projector...I went to a local company that specializes in home theaters and looked at thier demo machines. The HC3000 had better picture quality that projecters twice thier cost!! It may not have all the options, bells, and whistles as the expensive machines, but you cannot go wrong with this one. Just hook it up to your DVD player and you are ready to go! I was extremely cautious in purchasing a home theater system, because I wanted to get the best bang for my buck. I feel like I got it with the Mitsubishi HC3000u.

I also purchased the universal Telehook ceiling mount. When I get my screen (right now I shine it against a wall) I will be all set!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, Great quality picture, Easy to use, December 23, 2007

By	U. Sudhakaran "leekris" (USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this product after researching all over the net. It is one of the best product on this price range. It is very easy to install and operate. I love it and will highly recommend for anyone who wants a projector. If you limit its use only to watch movie rather than regular TV programs, the lamp will last longer.
