Epson PowerLite Pro Cinema 1080

$2,165.00 Est. at Amazon

from audioholics
with pricing under $5000 and epson's proclivity for producing very high quality projectors with excellent features, detail and color, it's bound to be a serious contender in the market.
from lt.dell.com
not great with anything above minimal ambient light, but still viewable with "living room" color setting.
from Brewski, www.newegg.com
it works amazing at night, and everything is crisp and clear.dlp = color wheel = rgb is split up.
from N/A, www.newegg.com
the viewsonic color is much better.
from jlahorn, www.shopping.com
pros: excellent picture even with short throw distance, very good color, excellent lens shift, intuitive use.

Sony VPL-VW60 LCD Projector

$4,100.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.crutchfield.com
after installing the projector myself and doing some minor color tweaking using the "avia guide to home theater" program it was set up to my personal preferences.
from www.bestbuy.com
what's great about it:?good simple setup, picture is crystal clear and the color resolution/contrast are top-shelf.
from www.amazon.com
getting this unit cal'd is a must, as the colors coming out of the box are less then stellar.
from www.amazon.com
any improvement in the color or clarity of this already stunning picture is just bonus gravy.
from www.amazon.com
the colors when tweaked are much more accurate on the black pearl and the overall picture seems brighter and better.

Acer PH530

$242.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.onsale.com
i see less rainbow effect on this compared to my infocus (although it's not gone completely), i guess the benefit of a newer color wheel technology.
from www.tigerdirect.com
combine it with a decent screen and surround sound for hours of blissful movie watching, whether via hd cable/satellite or via an upscaling dvd player, the colors are exquisite, the contrast sharp
from www.tigerdirect.com
seems to be some issues with the way the gamma curve is implemented and you have to crank gamma to 7 to get colors right but with consumer level calibration, the unit improves a great deal.
from www.tigerdirect.com
very bright and sharp wonderful colors and very easy to setup and use...
from www.newegg.com
colors are saturated, but never oversaturated.

Optoma EP721

lightweight, quality lumens, and the colors were so vivid, we are using a silver matte screen that's why it projects well with quality.
from geomac from pine bush NY, www.circuitcity.com
experience, just had to buy a dvi to hdmi conversion cable for about $30.00 and you can connect your hd dvd player/ directv hd dvr/ or 1080i upconvert dvd player for a beautifull brilliant color.
from sebaldo from ohio, www.circuitcity.com
great picture with great color.
from www.amazon.com
well, it seems to me that the colors seem a little washed-out or faded.
from www.amazon.com
i had read in other reviews that the yellow colors were not as bright as with some other brands.

Mitsubishi HC1600 Projector

$740.00 Est. at Amazon

from p4cm4n, www.newegg.com
i've watched a lot of movies so far, and am extremely impressed in this projector...colors are great, and even though its natively 720p, you can easily change it to 1920x1080 on a computer.
from Clink, www.newegg.com
everyone who is invited over is amazed at the picture quality and color depth, it's really great.
from www.amazon.com
the contrast is great, and the color is as accurate as i have seen in a sub $1000 projector.
from N/A, www.newegg.com
the colors are so much more vivid than my old projector that had problems on skin tone.
from N/A, www.newegg.com
other then that the colors are better then most lcds as long as its dark in the room, because the screen can only be as dark as it is in the room.

Panasonic PT-AX200 LCD Projector

$1,049.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
for contrast, i pulled up "kingdom of heaven" and, with a color film, you can certainly see a bit more grain and the film titles have a fair amount of pixelization, but it's still totally watchable.
from www.amazon.com
i felt no need to calibrate this thing beyond the factory preset, although you can use a calibration dvd with color bars and adjust it yourself.
from www.amazon.com
color and contrast are fine to me, but i'm not a video or audiophile, so i can't go into great detail about what is good or bad about the picture quality.
from www.amazon.com
excellent contrast and depth, color is perfect and the blacks are deep and no longer have the annoying "sheen" i was seeing on the older model.
from www.amazon.com
the colors were not saturated, the image was dull...

excellent display, colors, clarity - am using it in my bedroom on a white wall - 70" display and 12 ft throw as a dvd, vcr and tv screen player - svga resolution good enough at this distance!

from Plowboi from Albany NY, www.circuitcity.com
this projector color corrects for projections surfaces that are not white (like black boards or green boards for instance).
from J, www.circuitcity.com
the only draw back is the color green is rather well pronounced which can be compensated for through the menu options otherwise a formidable competitor in the market of projectors.
from J, www.circuitcity.com
the blackboard feature lets you project directly onto a non-white surface to correct for color (the options are beige, green, blue, brown, black.
