The basic data of the Mitsubishi HC7000 includes 1000 ANSI lumens, a resolution of HDTV 1920 x 1080 as well as a contrast of 72000:1. The manufacturer specifies a runtime of 5000 hours for this projector's lamp. With two hours of daily operation, this corresponds to a period of 6.8 years. Thanks to the combination of optical lens shift and digital keystone correction, the projected image's position can be adjusted very flexibly. The Projection Calculator helps find the optimal installation dimensions. A look at the light output reveals: The 1000 ANSI lumens are sufficient to illuminate an image width of up to 321 cm in darkened rooms. If room light is present, we recommend not exceeding a maximum width of 214 cm. For media input, video signals up to 1080P are supported. The projector was released in 2008 and is officially no longer distributed by Mitsubishi. However, it remains frequently searched within our database.
I was able to view the device at the Beamer Days. The black level is excellent. However, a DILA can produce an even better black and the definition is also better. At the moment, however, no one can keep up with the sharpness of the Mitsu. Even devices with intermediate image calculation cannot leave a sharper impression due to the higher quality optics of the HC 7000. The movements of a PT AE 3000, for example, are only as sharp as its still image. And this is always somewhat softer due to the smooth screen technology. Let‘s see how the Epson TW 5000 does...

Had the Sony VPL-20 before - there are (of course) worlds in between, here are just the most important experiences:
1. Picture: extremely quiet with excellent sharpness without any double contours or similar
2. Color reproduction; strong colors without appearing too colorful; perfect
3. Black level: tricks or not - the effect is excellent; perfect
4. Quiet running: practically inaudible
5. Heat development: none - compared to the VPL-20 heater
One disadvantage: in my opinion, the projector is ONLY suitable for darkened rooms, as even with the strongest lamp setting etc. the picture is too dark for bright rooms - you would probably have to switch off all black level-enhancing effects, but then the projector can‘t flex its muscles. In the home cinema area - even with my 3 meter wide 16/9 screen - the brightness is completely sufficient.
