The Mitsubishi HC5000 is a 3LCD design. That means it has 3 LCD panels, through which light is shot as a canon, to spray the screen with colour. That canon is 1000 lumens bright and can vary the light with a 10,000:1 contrast ratio. It has a resolution of 1920 x 1080, with an HDMI input. It has a 1.6:1 zoom lens, which is adequate, but it could be better. It also has both horizontal and vertical lens shift. The HC5000 will retail for $4,495.

Evan Powell over at ProjectorCentral got a chance to review this lovely projector, and I’m glad he got this chance. He says the projector is quite nice. The projector is bright, “superb” colour accuracy, precise deinterlacing and scaling,

Mr. Powell goes on to talk a whole lot more about this excellent projector, but I’ll leave the reading of that as an exercise to you, the reader. But it definitely looks like a great 1080p contender.
