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
any improvement in the color or clarity of this already stunning picture is just bonus gravy.
from www.amazon.com
back to the performance...the colors are amazing one when calibrated correctly.
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.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
very bright and sharp wonderful colors and very easy to setup and use...
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.newegg.com
6x color wheel means no rainbow effect (which i notice on 4x, but this is a by person deal).

Optoma EP721

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 www.bestbuy.com
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 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

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 www.amazon.com
the contrast is great, and the color is as accurate as i have seen in a sub $1000 projector.
from Boostaholic, www.newegg.com
other thoughts: i would highly recommend this projector to anyone who is either doing a diy htpc or home theater, the 720 & 1080 content looks great, colors are great, doesn't wash out as bad as our
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
i found this projector pretty good value for what i paid ($800) to see movies projected on my wall (which is off-white in color).

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
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
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
the colors were not saturated, the image was dull...

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.
