Mitsubichi HC3800 Reviews:
	"The HC3800 is a good all round projector but it gets marked down on what the competition provides. With most 1080p projectors coming down in price recently the HC3800 is a little pricey and for an entry level 1080p projector with a similar performance but a better price the BenQ W1000 would be a brighter option and at the HC3800's price point the Epson TW3500 offers lens shift a higher brightness and contrast. "
	•Very good "out of the box" picture quality •Extremely good color accuracy post calibration in "best" mode Rich, saturated and natural looking color •Black levels, while respectable, are not a match for many more expensive projectors some of which are far better in this regard (the "ultra-high contrast) projectors •Noisier than the average home theater projector, though about average among DLP home projectors •No lens shift, making rear shelf mounting (up high) impractical

An you can enjoy it all on a large 100”+ screen while relaxing on your living room sofa.

Finally, our HC3800 is an affordable full-HD projector that spares nothing to add new dimensions in viewing pleasure. It’s an amazing level of beauty and excitement you need to experience with your own eyes.

The latest 0.65 DLPTM chip A key feature of the HC3800 is the latest Digital Light Processing (DLPTM) chip incorporating a new digital micromirror device (DMD) comprised of densely embedded micromirrors. A smaller mirror cavity diameter and narrower gaps between the mirrors improve the aperture ratio of the innovative chip, and reflective light diffusion is greatly reduced by improving the wiring below the mirror section. The mirrors are controlled to tilt repeatedly several thousand times per second for smooth, true reproduction of finely detailed images with no noise or deterioration.

High Brightness and High Contrast
A fixed iris provides both enhanced brightness and contrast for clear, sharp images. Even in a relatively bright living room with the curtains open, movies, sports and other programs from high-definition broadcasting and Blu-ray sources are fully enjoyed in amazing high-definition.

1.5x Short-throw HD Zoom Lens A newly developed short-throw zoom lens is on the HC3800. The 4-cluster, 13-piece all-glass lens provides excellent focusing performance with 1.5x magnification of high-definition images. Improvements in image depth and the lens aperture make it possible for deep blacks to be expressed.

High-output, Long-life Lamp & Quiet performance The light source is a 230W high-output lamp capable of a long estimated lifetime of up to 5000 hours when operating in low mode. We took fan and color wheel shape into consideration to create a low-noise fan specially designed for cooling efficiency, ensuring impressively low 25dBA quietness when operating in low mode.

DDP3021 Full 10-bit Panel Driver
The built-in DDP3021 full 10-bit panel driver creates approximately four times the gradation of 8-bit models, providing smooth expression of dark gradation subtleties.

Blu-ray 24P direct output compatible
Capable of handling an output of 48p, twice the speed of cinema film (24 frames per second), precise timing ensures true-to-life reproduction with original, smooth movement in fast action scenes.

2-3 Pull-down When converting 24 frames per second into 60 frames per second, and lining up the second and third frames in sequence, there is a surplus third B frame, which deteriorates movement smoothness.
24P direct output With 24p direct output, 24 frames per second is converted to 48 frames per second. This allows sequential matching of two frames at a time, thereby enabling image reproduction with original sequence smoothness.

Richer, More True-to-life Colors
The HC3800 is equipped with a six-segment color wheel capable of reproducing standard illumination at the color temperature of D65 (6.5 million colors). Signals from video sources are reproduced with more true-to-life colors and richer gradation.

Color Management for Preferred Color Adjustment Adjust images to your color preferences: R (red), G (green), B (blue), C (cyan), M (magenta), and Y (yellow) can each be adjusted individually with the built-in color management function.

Anamorphic Lens Compatibility - Choose Setting Based on Media Played
The anamorphic lens compatibility of the HC3800 widens the projection range of cinema-scope images. Mode 1 proves extended projection and Mode 2 is for images other than cinema-scope that mirror the original with the anamorphic lens attached.

BrilliantColorTM
A new color processing algorithm and improvements in system-level color signal quality reproduces many mid-range colors in video and natural scenery for rich, vivid images.

Adjustable Overscan
For images such as those from DVD sources, the overscan ratio can be varied between 90 and 100% in 1% intervals when HDMI components are connected.

One-touch projection
The projector power switch and electric screen (roll down/retract) control are linked, providing a convenient one-touch operation trigger.

Screen Distortion Correction
Correct screen distortion using the shape distortion correction function to adjust up to ±15 steps (1 step approximately 1°) for vertical distortion correction.
