You are restricted to either mounting this on the ceiling (most practical) or putting it on a shelf/table near the floor. You'll also need about 14 feet to project a 100" diagonal picture (I've gone 106" and it looks great). If you get the HC-Gray screen, and have it properly placed, you will not be disappointed. Colors look great (with some tweaking in the menu) and sharpness is remarkable. from Amazon.com I'm positive that it's the color wheel (the fan keeps spinning for a while after it shuts down, and it's a very different sound from that). Either a bearing is bad or the wheel is slightly off-balance. I've called Mitsubishi's service line looking for someone who can repair it, but the closest place that Mitsubishi would tell me is in Portland (I'm in Seattle) and they'll charge me about $150 just to come look at it, plus any repair charges. After getting that quote, I decided to try to open it up for a little surgery but I couldn't quite get to the point where the color wheel was exposed. from Amazon.com The darker the scene the greater the loss. However, in practice, the vast majority of images do not consist of a lot of dark content. As has been mentioned by others, the HC1600 shines on sports events, soap operas, news shows and game shows. So it comes down to movies, which is why I gave this product a 4 vs 5. from Amazon.com Mitsubishi HC1600 720p DLP Home Theater Projector After months of researching plasma,lcd and dlp tv's I made the decision from Amazon.com Pros: Similar to a previous user, I bought a HC1000 from Newegg. I had about 2200 hours on the bulb, mostly on econ mode, before I got the replacement warning. from Newegg.com I had an older non-HD projector before this, and worked it to the bone... so when I switched to the HC1600, it was another world. It has to be the best bang-for-your-buck HD projector out there. from Amazon.com I Other Thoughts: Try to view this baby in a store before buying it will save you some agravation. Ive opted to get an Optoma hd65 as it has 4x color wheel and better reviews although the price is more than I wanted to pay. The hc1600 would be perfect if I didnt see rainbows in all white objects. from Newegg.com Who has ever seen a 1080 machine side by side with a 720 machine? This makes the front projector customer uniquely vulnerable to a few "impartial" experts. I'm not saying that there are no differences between a $2,500 or a $7,500 projector and a $650 Mitsu 1600. I'm just pointing out that few of us really are in a position to judge so we are forced to rely on the opinions of web journalists who have an economic stake in the question. from Amazon.com In order to increase he brightness of this unit an imperceptible amount over the HC 1500 Mitsubishi used an inferior color wheel. At only 2x this projector is not usable with black and white films or fast media without seeing bright colored bands every time you blink or shift your focus. from Amazon.com That was our only issue, and I think we are safe. I wanted to bring this to others' notice that as such, the price is low. But Mitsubishi is giving $100 cashback AND a replacement lamp ($350ish) - what on earth of a deal this is - Fantastic. In reality, the lamps don't go their full life, in about 50% of their usage is all we get from a lamp (from my research and past experience). from Amazon.com
