Advantage

Excellent contrast: The HC7000 has one of the best ANSI contrasts on the market, with its contrast of 72000: 1. The HC7000 has significantly improved the auto iris system compared to the previous models, HC5500 and HC6000. The iris adjusts more quickly and closes tightly when necessary. Color: With the factory settings the color produced by the HC7000 is well saturated. The HC7000 produces a vivid image. Output Lumens: The HC7000 lamp produces a maximum of 1000 ANSI lumens, and our sample measures 670 lumens in its brightest mode. This mode is ideal for rooms with moderate ambient light. If you're using low-light mode, either because it's too bright or you're trying to squeeze more life out of your lamp, the output light drops by 22%. Also, if you are using the telephoto lens, the light will be reduced by 20%. We therefore recommend that you try to avoid zooming as much as possible when projecting the image. The HC7000 is clearly designed for a dark room for home theater use. Installation flexibility: The HC7000, in addition to zoom, has a vertical and horizontal alignment. The zoom range is 1.6: 1 which gives it an advantage over most DLP 1080p projectors, which typically use 1.2: 1 lenses. These two options make the HC7000 easy to install. Long Lamp Life : The HC7000 comes with a 2000 hour lamp in normal mode and 5000 in economy mode. The lamp price for the HC7000 is € 279, which means that the running costs are € 0.05 per hour. Quiet: Since the launch of the HC5000, Mitsubishi has been known for quiet operation. They have managed to design the HC7000 even quieter than their previous models.

Disadvantages

The HC7000 is designed to be used in a dark room. And it doesn't work as well when you want to use it in a room with ambient light.

conclusion

The Mitsubishi HC7000 is first and foremost a cinema projector. Designed with contrast and color performance for this purpose. While other projectors are more versatile and can be installed in rooms with more ambient light, the HC7000 has the high contrast and quiet operation that make it an excellent choice for home theater.
