Sharp images and intense contrast make for a great home theater experience. The Mitsubishi HC5500 1080p LCD Home Theater Projector delivers both in a quality product.

You’ll be amazed at the picture quality you can get from the 1080p and 14,000:1 contrast ratio offered by the HC5500. Dark scenes have sharper overall details, and the transitions between light and dark scenes are faster. High-definition sources look fantastic. There is none of the flicker that can be noticed in some other LCD projectors.

The Mitsubishi HC5500 features an upscaling chip, something not found in the average projector. This chip helps upscale any lower resolution image to 1080p. Whatever the input source, this projector will make the most of it.

The projector’s 1.2x powered zoom and focus lens lets you enjoy big screen image in smaller spaces. However, some buyers find that the electronic zoom/focus lens adds a layer of difficulty to the setup process.

The HC5500 projector is practically noiseless, unlike some projectors that emit a low-pitched whine during operation. It runs so quietly you won’t hear it even if you’re right next to it. The machine’s settings can be adjusted with the remote.

Bear in mind that the projector needs a reasonably dark room for the best effect. 1200 lumens of brightness isn’t enough to overcome natural daylight.

The throw range of the projector is limited, which can make placement a bit of a challenge. For example, if you have a long room and you want to put the projector in the back, you will need a very large screen. Be sure to check the manufacturer’s charts to guarantee that the HC5500 will fit your room’s dimensions.

Excellent black reproduction and contrast are two factors that separate a superb projector from one that is merely average. The Mitsubishi HC5500 1080p LCD Projector is definitely above average in many respects. It could make a great addition to your home theater.

Eric Hoell: “We purchased this projector a few months ago, and still are amazed by the picture quality. We use it in a semi-dark environment, and even with the ambient light the picture looks great! The projector is very quiet – I have to listen to ever hear it. The projector does throw a lot of heat. So keep the room ventilated. Great projector. Very happy with our purchase!”
