The Mitsubishi HC1500 perforned better than any other projector under $1000 that we tried, It does not have an iris for lens shift which means that where we want to place the unit is limited by the screen size we want achive. However this projector is small and light enough that finding an inexpensive universal mount was not difficult. Even in less than ideal conditions (ours is in the living room on the main floor with vertical blinds on the windows that let in a lot of ambiet light and odd shaped glares) the HC1500 delivers vivid color, natural skin tones and artifact free motion comprable to much more expensive projectors. I did find that this unit’s ability to upscale a lower resolution image (480i or 1080i) was not the best; it produced some jittery lines and had trouble keeping up with high action scenes. Since we have ours connected to an upconverting DVD player (you could also use a HD player to produce a higher quality signal) the problem is completely resolved. Bottom line, even with a mount, the screen and two cables we have an 80″ 720p HD image with crisp blacks and smooth action for our home theater system all for under a grand.
