Deeper blacks for Mitsubishi’s HC6000

Philip Wong | Oct 16, 2007

Another second generation 1080p home theater projector is heading to Asia. This time round, it is the replacement model for the well-received Mitsubishi HC5000 3LCD light cannon. The upcoming HC6000 has an improved auto iris which enhances dynamic contrast to 13,000:1. You will still get an enthusiast-grade HQV (Hollywood Quality Video) video processor, though the 1080p-ready DVI port will be replaced with an analog PC-equivalent.

Other juicy bits include dual HDMI terminals compatible with judder-free 1080p24 signals and a relatively powerful 1.6x motorized zoom. The latter enables a 100-inch projection image from a short 3.1m throw distance. This zoom feature, when coupled with its lens shift functions, simplifies installation especially in tight living quarters. Exact launch details of the HC6000 are not available at press time but it is expected to be released in Singapore from November.
