Thread: Mitsubishi HC3800 projector !!

This is one awesome, beautiful, 1080p DLP projector. This is the one I should have bought to begin with. But I wanted to save a little money, so I bought the Benq W1000. The Benq did look very nice, except the rainbows. So far I put 10 hours on the HC3800 and it produces a great image. NO rainbows, VERY, VERY sharp, dark blacks and shadow detail, great colors and contrast, and very quiet in low power mode. In low, it's rated for 5000 hours also. The HC3800 is an upgrade in every single area from my Mits. HD1000. And there's a free bulb rebate until the end of March. DAMN, I sound like a Mits. salesman. Now I see why Projector Central and Projector Reviews loved it.

Nice. Enjoy!!

Glad you finally got a good one after having the problem with the Benq... I like my Mitsubitsi's (watching the HD1000U now in the Bedroom) probably end up with one of these before the Bulb deal expires... too many issues with the Benq1000, the Vivetek scares me as does the Optima 20 and I have 2 Mitsubishi's now and like...

Should have mine Tomorrow...

First Look... haven't fired up yet, the box worries me... Much larger remote than any FPTV I have owned so far. Came from Amazon (shipped from California).

What are you waiting for? Fire that baby up!! Do you mean the way it was packed?

Dent in the box, outer box only had a little bit of packing material (no bubblewrap, or air bags)... was making sure it gets up to room temp, although it is a warm day here... (and editing my HDD for my WDTV Box for "test clips")

You're going to love it. What calibration disc do you have? I'm interested to see what you come up with for contrast.

Watching with the settings out of the box right now, didn't even have to focus, tried out my WD box (works fine) right now I have a 1080o demo disc in and am about to put in a new one I authored today... and WOW!
