Product Description
Versatility comes with the latest DLP BrilliantColor technology. BrilliantColor uses a new color-processing algorithm to move beyond standard 3-color processing to a 6-color process that more accurately captures the true color common in video and nature scenes. The technology enables a greater than 50% brightness increase in mid-tone images for video projectors. If you're a hi-definition video enthusiast who's been looking for a more affordable way to bring front-screen projection to your home theater or family room, the HD1000U DLP home theater projector is what you've been looking for. This 720p format, native 16: 9 HD projector is just right for you, even if you don't have a dedicated room for home theater. The HD1000 projects at 1500 lumens and includes advanced color technology and bring you the picture quality you want.One of the keys to Mitsubishi's HD1000 design is a seven-segment color wheel. The design gives you a faster picture refresh (4x speed) plus an additional boost of white that will saturate your screen with true-to-life color and smooth motion. The HD1000 HD projector also features BrilliantColor for DLP technology, a new color-processing algorithm that moves beyond standard 3-color processing to a 6-color process that more accurately captures the true color in video and natural scenes. The technology enables a greater than 50% brightness increase in mid tone images that projects uniform brightness and color into every corner of your screen.From source to screen, Mitsubishi makes sure you get a pure connection with a choice of HDMI or component cable connectors and true 10-bit processing. The 720p HDTV format brings you 720 lines of vertical resolution transmitted at one time, as opposed to interlaced formats, so your HD projector can produce more clarity for fast motion events such as sports. Mount it on a wall or place it on a table, then square the picture with digital keystone correction if needed.

I just got the projector last night and had it setup in a flash! The color out of the box was excellent and I found the controls easy to use. I did find it for $899 with free shipping on another site when amazon still had it out of stock.
I watched a little bit of Emeril's, the latest episode of Studio 60 and about half of the second Pirates of the Caribbean.
The standard def picture from dish network dvr had minor artifacts in dark scenes but otherwise looked great. The standard dvd of Pirates was superb on component cables, bright and crisp. From other projectors I have used I was most impressed.
I do not find the remote back lighting dim like some other reviews on different sites have stated...
So far I am very happy, I will try to update the review in a few weeks!

2/20/07 So I finally upgraded to HD cable and I am absolutely blown away at the image quality... The colors are amazing and the picture so clear you could be looking outside. I was happy before but now I am ecstatic...

I have had this projector for about 6 weeks now. I have it projected onto an Elite matte white screen in a darkened basement. Image is bright and clear, even if a lamp is on. Infact I don't really see much difference between low lamp mode and standard lamp mode so I keep it on low.
I use my PC to do everything on. Initially I connected via DVI to HDMI with success, although some games didn't show up as having the suitable resolution 1280 x 720mm. I used TheaterTek and FFDShow to upscale reg DVDs and the picture is sharp. You can use Zoomplayer too.
I also purchased the Xbox 360 HD DVD player and hooked it up to the PC via USB and to the projector via VGA and the picture was even better - the 1080i source was downscaled to 720p very well and even my wife was impressed. Beauty about using a PC is I can use my 7.1 channel sound card.
The menu controls are easy to use and offer good adjustments of color/contracts/gamma etc, although default settings are fine. You can also adjust vertical and horizontal position of screen.
I have my projector on a coffee table and sit about 15ft back. Throw is about 18" from the floor.
I imagine projecting onto a 150" screen would be fine as it seems to throw out enough lumens.
I noticed that when I switched to using the VGA connection all my games showed a greater range of resolutions, strange - but that is great news. My games look good now, not as detailed as my LCD monitor but it is good to play on the large screen.
My Pc makes more noise than the projector- very quiet.
I would recommend this projector whole heartedly

Let me just say that the HD1000 looks amazing. I'm a computer nerd, gaming addict, and a movie / technology junkie... and I'm blown away. Eveyone that has come over has been shocked at the clarity and price ( $ 864 )
I've had my HD1000 for a week and I still cant wait to find more HD programming. The Discovery Channel HD looks the best in my opinion. The series "Planet Earth" looks stunning.
Someone commented on how the HD1000 has limited optical adjustments and such. That IS TRUE. I had planned to mount my HD1000 about 7 feet up on the wall, sitting on a shelf. After fiddling with the settings for a while I realized that I needed to either.
A.) Get a Ceiling Mount (haha yeah right... i'm not paying for that)
B.) Move my shelf higher so that the projector's feet were almost touching the ceiling (yes its upside-down).
C.) Find a place in my apartment that would allow me to view a 100+ size image in peace. ( No way )
Sooo.... Its a little wierd that my projector is upside-down on a shelf.... but hey... it works perfectly and I made the shelf with 20$
My throw range is 14 Feet. My projected image is 115 Inches Diagonal. Its like having my own personal movie theater.
Buy one... you will be pleased that you did

When my wife gave me the green light to build a home theater, I started my intense research. It was my first venture into the HD world. 720p, 1080i, 1080p....what does it all mean? After extensive research, price comparisons and pros/cons we evaluated, we settled on a package deal for the HD100U, 25' component, 25' HDMI, mount and 92" screen.
We have our projector mounted 12.75 feet from our 92" screen.
The brightness of this projector is amazing. We run it on the low lamp mode and it is still great. When on the low mode, the fan noise is very low and unheard once your sound system is on. In dark and light scenes, the picture is always good. I put Into The Blue on and the colors of the ocean and reef scenes is stunning. In sports and high action scenes with quick, bright flashes (War of the Worlds) it has instantaneous response.
Due to the lower contrast, you should have very little ambient light in the room. I have 2 encasement windows in my basement and must cover the one closest to the screen or it bleeds in. This may be true of all projectors from what I have read. If getting 15000:1 contrast means thousands more, it is definitely not worth it.
We did upgrade our screen to a screen by Elite Screens and as a gray tone. Even with this upgrade, our package was under $1400 and well worth it.
CONCLUSION: 1080 i or p is not worth it at this point given the cost of the projector. For under $1000, you can own this projector. When enough sources are broadcasting 1080p, the cost of those projectors will be more realistic and a switch can be made at that time, whenever that happens. Since installing this, I have had 4 other people see it and make plans to order it. I think that speaks for itself.

I've had this projector for about 6 months now, a good break in period, and I have to say I'm about as happy as possible with this product. Almost everyone I have over says "I didn't know projectors could do that!", which I think is the real reason they haven't taken off more...people just don't know what they're capable of. Let me say first off, that the picture quality is as sharp if not sharper than most 1080p tv's I've see, it's amazing watching hdtv or the hd/blu ray movies they have out that actually take advantage of the technology. The projector hookups are pretty much exactly like a tv as far as what you can plug in. This projector has component and hdmi hookups on it, another thing some people don't seem to understand is that is pretty much like a television. I've had a few people mention that they didn't know you could watch t.v. shows on a projector, ("you need a t.v. to watch t.v.!") :p On to pros and cons
Pros:
1. Awesome price
2. Relatively Quiet
3. Amazing Quality
4. Compact
5. Huge screen size
Cons:
1. Don't ask me the details, but due to the type of projector this is, it can't produce a "true" black color, so when you have this projector on you'll notice a black trapezoid around the picture itself that varies depending on how you have the picture adjusted.
2. Not a con for this projector, but all projectors. Have to have a way to mount the projector and display image. Yes, you can put it on a table if that happens to work, and display the picture on a white wall, but a screen and stand or mount help a ton, and the addition of the two can run you anywhere from $80 total, to a couple grand. That being said I spent about 200 for a entry level screen and good quality stand, and it works just fine. Someone mentioned it may not be possible to set up this projector everywhere. Not really true, you can find adjustable height/pitch stands that will make set up in almost any room possible.
3. Bulbs burn out eventually, so you'll have to buy replacements, and they're not exactly cheap.
Overall, you can't go wrong with this for the price as long as you can get through the setup. Treat this with care, and be prepared to be amazed for years to come.
