Mitsubishi sub $2k 1080p Projector

Mitsubishi_HC6800 More news out of Cedia Expo today, Mitsubishi just announced a new pair of projectors in their 1080p line of projectors. First up is the HC6800, which is a 3-chip LCD 1080p projector. MSPR for the HC6800 is $2,295, no word yet on what street price will be, I would love to see sub $2k street price. The only down side to the HC6800 is that it will only be available through custom home-theater integrators and high-end A/V retailers.

Next up is the Mitsubishi HC3800, a DLP based 1080p projector, designed for the budget minded, DIY home theater enthusiast. The HC3800 geared towards the average user is expecting a MSRP of $1495 making it one of the few projectors near what I would consider the magic price point for a 1080p projector.

The HC6800 will be available later this month, while the HD3800 will ship in the third quarter. I for one am in the market for a new projector to replace the long lived and well used Panasonic PT-AE900U 720p projector I have in my home theater. With the announcement of new 1080p projectors such is the HC3800 I have a feeling Cedia and CES coming up will be a good time for those like myself wanting to upgrade to 1080p projector while not breaking the bank.

Josh Shenkle

Five+ year veteran media center user. Over the years I have built over 20 media center pc's whether it has been to upgrade an existing system in my setup, or to build a media center pc (HTPC) for friends or family. My other passion besides HTPC's and Media Center is Home Theater. After purchasing my first home with a blank slate in the basement, I completely finished it off, building a home theater with a 120" front projection setup and 7.1 surround sound system. So between Media Center and Home theater that is what you'll find me talking about here. Like Adam Thursby, between the two of us are probably the only Zune users you'll find. I started out with an iPod nano but eventually found my way to the Zune and the Zune software and never looked back. Also like Josh Pollard I too am a mobile phone/smart phone gadget nerd. In my "day job" one of my job responsibilities is to test out new phones, specifically windows mobile phones, and test them out with our exchange server and trouble shoot end user issues. I am also a Blackberry convert as I recently got a Blackberry Storm for personal use and absolutely love it! I am a huge forum troll, you can find me on AVSforums, TGB, Missingremote, Hardforums, and even the AU media center forums. I like to help out where I can when it comes to HTPC's and media center in general, so if there are questions to be had, I try to answer them the best I can.
