Mitsubishi HC5000 LCD 1080P Projector
“I purchased my Mitsubishi LVP-HC5000 including a 120" powered Elite screen for $1853 in July 2008. It was a Japanese version that someone had purchased and then been dissuaded from keeping due to the "For use in Japan only" notice on the box. Japanese voltages and US voltages are close enough that I wasn't concerned about the projector power supply. I installed it using a ceiling mount...” --yahara
Mitsubishi HD1000U
“I bought this projector right after they came out. At the time I was looking at a 31" HDTV for 700, 800 dollars. When the Mitsubishi’s went on sale for 700 I couldn't resist, screen size was now not an issue. My theater is my living room so brightness was a concern. At 15' the 1500 lumens from the HD1000 still won’t cut through a sunny July morning but, pull the curtains and it has plenty of...” --The Hound
Epson V11H501020 PowerLite Home Cinema 3020 2D and 3D 1080p Home Theater Projector
“I stepped over from the Epson 8350 which is quite frankly a lateral move at best for overall quality and presentation, I was blown away by the 8350 so my expectations were high when I installed this on my 210 inch 1.5 pearl screen I have been watching the 8350 on. Out of the box the color and focus are better and were impressively even, more so than its predecessor. Make sure you have an HDMI...” --sailorb
JVC DLA-RS45 Home Theater Projector 1080P HDMI
“JVC DLA-RS45 Review 1) Features— Some of our favorite action movies, Transformers, Casino Royale, Kill Bill, etc. are filmed in 2.35, or wide screen. so when in our movie room, we want to be 'at the movies' and not see the black bars on top and bottom for a typical HD TV. this projector solves that problem while also allowing the viewer to watch regular TV on the screen as well. I've happily...” --jmccarei
Epson Home Cinema 8700 Ub Projector
“I was completely new to the projector world but after visiting a friends house who owned the 8700ub I was sold! I built a dedicated media room just to use this projector. I've been using it for around 7 months now and have loved my time with it so far. Unfortunately I can not provide too much technical detail because I am so new to the projector world. However, as a first time projector buyer...” --TxRado
Epson PowerLite Home Cinema 705 HD 720p 3LCD Home Theater Projector
“I bought this projector about 2 years ago to replace an Optoma that died on me a few months into ownership. So far I've been pretty pleased with it as it is a very reasonable (read cost effective) option for us budget constrained HT people. The 720p resolution was a minor hitch at the time, and with the viewing distance and screen size (95’’ screen with 11’ viewing) I would be hard-pressed to...” --Charles Warwick
Optoma EP719 DLP Portable Projector 2000
“I purchased this to use as a very large PC monitor. Of course this made it a smart TV before TVs were smart. The first one ran for about 750 hours and quite. I bought a new bulb but it was the power supply. So there I sat with a new bulb and a good used one so what was I to do but buy a used one. The second one has a much cleaner - truer display and takes much longer cooling everything...” --LowGear
Optoma DW339 WXGA, 2600 Lumen, 3D Multimedia Projector
“I was replacing my older InFocus IN72 DLP that had not been in service for a couple of years. I decided to set my theater up again (after a couple of moves) and when I did there was a large white stripe on the right side of the display. That sent me shopping for something budget oriented with decent quality, easy on the wallet. I leaned on many of the other reviewers that spoke highly of this...” --savrip
ViewSonic PJD6531w WXGA Wide DLP Projector -120Hz/3D Ready, 3000 Lumens, 3200:1 DCR, HDMI
“Great 720p projector that's also 1080p compatible (downscaled), I use this at events as a VJ projector and love it! It's the brighter sub-$1000 projector I know of (as is the newer model that has 1080p native @ 120hz) and it's lasted me 3 years being used 8-12 hours a day 2-3 days a week at music events (which means it travels a lot and gets used in high vibration high traffic...” --Scalarscience
ViewSonic PJD6251 XGA DLP Projector
“I purchased this online for $949 February 2010 I consider my self a do it your self-er and the challenges when setting up 3D gave me a headache to the point where i gave up on it being able to play 3D. and i returned the 2 pairs of $129 glasses. Pro's The Lumens is great. During sporting events we could have 2 over head florescent lights on in the room and there was no issues with seeing...” --JimmboJr
