November 2005 -- Projector Central -- "The Mitsubishi HC3000 home theater projector, one of the most highly anticipated new product releases of the season...has attracted a great deal of attention for two reasons: (1) it is the first DLP projector with native 720p HD resolution to come through the magic $3,000 price barrier, and (2) it is the first DLP projector to come to market featuring Texas Instrument's new BrilliantColor™ technology. The HC3000 is a another step forward in DLP price/performance, and it delivers a lot of picture for the money. One of the distinctive features of the HC3000 is its native resolution of 1280x768... (and) native 15:9 aspect ratio rather than 16:9. The other unique feature of the HC3000 is the BrilliantColor technology from Texas Instruments. As announced by TI and reported here previously, BrilliantColor consists of a new color processing chipset and a new color wheel design that includes filters for both the three primary and three complementary colors – red, green, blue, cyan, magenta, and yellow. However, in this particular implementation, Mitsubishi has used TI's new BrilliantColor chipset and adapted it for use with a conventional six-segment RGB-RGB color wheel rotating at a 4x speed. When BrilliantColor is activated, the picture becomes immediately brighter. Blacks and shadow values remain perceptibly unchanged while midtones and highlights increase in luminance by about 25%. All colors increase in luminance by the same ratio, and gray values do as well. Regardless of whether BrilliantColor is activated or not, the HC3000 manifests the classic dynamic range that DLP technology has become famous for. In terms of overall image quality, the HC3000 is one of the best values on the market as far as DLP projectors are concerned." – Evan Powell, Projector Central*

October 2004–"I think the H77 outperforms the H76 in a side-by-side comparison. In National Projector's demonstration room, it was evident that the 3500:1 high contrast ratio really makes a difference, and although it has a slightly lower lumen rating than the H76, the high contrast more than takes up the slack. This projector is perfect for a dedicated home theater room.
The H77 is designed attractively, as well, with a no-frills chassis that screams simplicity and sophistication. With a 3,000-hour lamp, I expect the ** will last longer than other projectors I've seen; and I also noticed that it runs so quietly that I hardly noticed it. Overall, I'd definitely recommend the ** to my friends, because it performs as well as it looks." – Ladeena B.

January 2004–"The Sanyo PLV-70 native widescreen LCD projector is a top class model offering fantastic picture quality for home theatre applications. Very high performance LCD projector with a super high native resolution of 1366 x 768 and a very bright 2200 lumens you'll get great looking movies with virtually no pixelation. The reason for this is that for 16:9 material on the PLV-70 has almost double the number of pixels of a standard XGA resolution projector. In addition, the microlens array technology used on the PLV-70 to boost the light output of the engine also slightly softens the pixel structure. The 900:1 contrast ratio is very good and you get great detail in even the most gloomy scenes in movies. The Sanyo PLV-70 is also bright enough to be used in a well lighted room. Color saturation and accuracy is this LCD projector's strong point and you'll find colors bright and clear without being abnormal in any way. This LCD projector is one of the best performers we've ever seen in terms of color quality. An extra bonus in the Sanyo PLV-70 is its scaling and deinterlacing. The on-board hardware for these functions are top of the line. Even plain S-video from a cheap DVD player is obviously artifact-free. If you want to save some money and do without a high end DVD player then the Sanyo PLV-70 will certainly give you great results from any signal you throw at it." – LCD-Projector-Review online
