Get Powerstrip and install the 24p settings that are predefined in the Powerstrip settings. The HC7000 has no problems with 24p processing from an HTPC (have three of them running with the HC7000).

It depends what your graphics card produces. If it does 0.255 greyscale, you have to set the HC7000 to enhanced. Standard otherwise.

All questions esp. the last one should be answered by the person who did the calibration for you (you paid him/her, didn't you?).

Why don't you ask your dealer?

you sure this works fine with you? I tried to make a custom res. of 1920x1080@24Hz but this does not work. Which OS are you on and what video card do u use?

Yes, I am sure.
Get powerstrip and/or the latest drivers for your video card. It works under XP as well as Vista and I use several ATIs and also one NVidia card. It's all in the software ... HTPCs can be tricky sometimes, though.

pffff, really wondering what it could be with my HTPC..... Tried all sorts of things (as for software) but keep getting a distortioned screen when going UNDER 24,877 (this is the 'lowest' value that works).

I would also like to know where the option VERTICAL SYNC in the menu is for. Auto gives my stutter and OFF gives my broken sync problems with fast motion.

Well, don't mention it. I can only do so much from afar, sorry!

Just try to install a new version of Powerstrip, it may produce a miracle

Reon VX.


Does anyone have calibrated HC7000? If so I would be interested to know what settings you have after calibration.

You'll find someone over at the English forum, AVforums.com, who have done that: http://www.avforums.com/forums/dlp-l...-thread-9.html

I tried those values written in that thread, but found them a bit too bright for me. But check it out, it might be better for you or perhaps as a good starting point.

Thanks, I have tried something also by myself, but I like to know how others do it and how much off I am compared to others =)

I found the image of the Epson Home 1080 and Pro 1080UB soft compared to my Hitachi TX200.

Is it safe to say that the Mitsubisji HC7000 should look nice and sharp compared to the last Epson 1080UB? How about vs the newest Epson 7500?

Each one of the mitsubishi projectors have been the sharpest among LCD projectors, so it's a safe bet that hc7000 is also very sharp.
I wonder why is everyone so excited over panasonic ae3000 and not this hc7000, so ae3000 has a few more features, but neither sharpness nor on/off contrast is even close. A few people prefered 1080ub to the ae3000, while I remember someone said hc7000 had much better black levels than 1080ub.

You make good points about the sharpness and CR, but price, availability and brightness probably have something to do with the Panny's success. The extra features probably don't hurt either.

Would you happen to know if this is the same processor used in the 6500 and the 5500 as well, or do they use cheaper ones in the lower models?

Thanks.

Reason for the ae3000 excitment is the great price.The 7000 is allot more.

I know this is not a terribly bright projector, but would anyone hazard to guess if it would throw a decent picture from 19.5 feet onto an 118" 1.4 gain screen in a darkened, dedicated home theatre room?

I am doing 100" 1.0 gain at 14' on low lamp with my hc6500 (same lamp) and it is plenty bright, even with 3 halogen ceiling can lights pointing down at my sofa so I can surf the web while watching tv! At your distance, seems like after the lamp starts to lose some brightness, you may have to go to high on the lamp. My guess anyway. This projector is so quiet, why must it be so far away? Greg

I own a Sony HS51 and by chance I decided to have a look at a HC7000 that was set up at my favourite AV store. Let me just cut to the chase, it took me at least 30 minutes to pick my jar up from the floor... I was gob smacked by how good the HC7000 is. I can't say how it compares to my old Sony because they're simply not comparable. Needless to say, I just ordered a HC7000 and I'm already thinking of 2:37 set up when Aussiemorph release their latest prism. I can't wait to get the call from the store to pick it up.

Congratulations! Mitsubishi has finally surpassed SXRD with there top LCD model. And the best thing still about the HC7000: It is almost silent. If you close your eyes you will have a hard time finding out where the HC7000 is located in the room.

I'd like to know how the colour uniformity, convergence and dust blob situation is. With sharpness one of Mitsubishi's strong points, it is crucial that the other three remaining issues aren't there to cause problems.

Outstanding!!!

CIH with anamorphic lens is the only way to go for BluRay movies. I'm sure you will be floored with the Mits/Aussiemorph combo. looking forward to hearing and seeing (pics please ) more when you get it set up.

No such problems so far here, and I also haven't heard any other word concerning these problems.

Please elaborate. Do you mean LCD surpasses all SXRD models, or one in particular and in what way does LCD surpass SXRD?
I would be interested to hear your point of view. Does the HC7000 surpass the VW80 for example, or just the HW10?

Sorry, I can't even remember which SXRD ist was (it was in the same price range as the HC7000) and the 7k definitely beat the SXRD in perceived contrast. Higher priced SXRD may or may not have other benefits that may or may not be relevant to you.

The review puts it on the same level as 1080ub in blacks and contrast. I thought someone earlier said it has much better blacks than 1080ub. Can anyone voice his opinion on that?

Well I got a dust blob but it was replaced due to the DOA policy from mitsubishi. Keep in mind that my room is not a dedicated room by anymeans. Also, it doesn't help that I have a german shepherd living in my house who by the way loves hanging out on the couch when I watch movies.
