Summary: Nice Picture, Terrible Rainbows
Comment: The picture on this projector is great. Bright and vivid with exceptional sharpness. Only problem is the excessive rainbow effect from the 2x color wheel. Prior to this I owned a Infocus X1 with a 2x color wheel as well. I had no issues with rainbow effect. Only 5% of the population is supposed to have rainbow issues with DLP projectors. I've had 6 people watch this projector and all have seen excessive rainbow artifacts. The HC1500 had a 4x wheel (faster wheel = less rainbows). I have no idea why Mitsubishi would take a step backwards with a new model. Makes this model virtually unwatchable. Junk.

Summary: Hard to beat the price
Comment: I just moving up from an Epson Powerlite S1 standard definition so this was a great improvement at little cost. I mean, dang if you buy before the end of January 09 you get $100 and a second bulb. That makes the real price about $300. I've only been using it for a week as a home theater ceiling mount but it's quiet, bright and easy to adjust with the remote.

Summary: great buy
Comment: This was the first projector I had ever purchased. After doing a lot of research and weighing the pros and cons I decided on the Mitsubishi. I feel I made the right decision. I have my dvd player, playstation, and a satellite receiver hooked up to it and everything comes in crystal clear. I currently have the picture shining on a wall at a 77" diag. The hd is stunning. This was a great buy!!

Summary: Mitsubishi HC1600 720p DLP Home Theater Projector
Comment: I was looking for the best projector I could fined that would fit in my budget. I am over all very happy with my HC1600. The picture is really good, I do not see any RBE ( Rain Bow Effect ) although is does have screen door effect. But unless you are right up on it, you can t see it. My screen is 10 feet wide by 5.5 feet high and I view it from 15 to 18 feet away. From there, you can not see the screen door effect at all. It is very quiet, Blu-Ray looks fantastic, and playing Motor Storm from a cockpit view looks like you are really driving a car, and the zombies in Left 4 Dead are life size. Puts a hole new meaning to "Head Shot" if you are a gamer like me. For my hard earned dollars, this was the best choice for me. I give it 4 stars only because of the screen door effect. But again, for the money you save, you can't tell the difference between this one for under $1000 and the 1080p that start at $3k with out it being side by side. With its HDMI hook up, you get the best visual out put possible. If you are looking to build your home theater and have a modest budget, this is the projector for you.

Summary: Love it
Comment: I just got my HC1600 projector, so I cant tell about it durability or something like that, but I can say about its image quality.
I was thinking between this Mitsubishi and the Epson Powerlite, also 720p, but $400 above.
So I decided for this one and used the 400 on the Onkyo S5100 Home Theater
I'm very very veeeery happy (one more very..) with my decision.
I'm preatty sure that Epson's Powerlite is a great projector, probably better than this one (it must have a why for the price), but obviously you will buy only one projector and put it on you room, you will not have the other one to compare, and if the one you bought is good enought you will not be sorry for buying that one.
That's what happended with me. I wanted a nice 720p projector and I got a nice 720p projector for a nice price.
I made a screen for it (that's right, a Do It Youself screen) and turned on "my new toy". I may say it is much better than I expected.
As for any projector it is desrible a dark room, so with the light off for me its same image you get with a TV, but with the huge diference that you get a huge screen.
My screen is 67' width, so it's bigger than most large TVs, but you can get a much larger screen if you have enought room.
The high definition image is great, and for me its esential for a projector.
Summarizing, I thing Mitsubishi HC1600 projector is the best choice for a 720p projector. There are other opptions where you gonna expend more money, but if you really have money go for a 1080p projector, that's worth. If you are a Cinema lover and have limited resources, I suggest this projector and if there is any money left use it on you home theater sound, like I did with Onkyo S5100 (which also deserve a big review).
That's it.. good luck
