January 16, 2009

Mitsubishi Digital Electronics America’s Presentation Products Division, known for award-winning, high-quality, high-definition presentation and display products, is exhibiting its high quality home theater projectors that are currently available at the 2009 International CES Expo, January 8-11 in Las Vegas. HC7000 and HC6500 1080p Diamond Series Projectors As Diamond Series projectors, Mitsubishi’s new premium HC7000 and HC6500 1080p projectors signify the quality and value of its products for end-users, available exclusively through custom home theater systems integration and high-end retail channels, designed for home theater aficionados who want to recreate a professional movie theater experience. They boast 3LCD panels and a new sleek and highly stylized design with a rich deep royal blue cabinet in either a piano-like high gloss or a matte finish. They are also two of the quietest projectors on the market today, emitting only 17 dBa in low mode. The flagship HC7000 HD boasts a 72,000:1 contrast ratio for rich details, deep blacks, and great depth and dimension, obvious in dark scenes like those in classic film noir and action films. The HC6500 projector boasts a 15,000:1 contrast ratio that also increases depth and detail in dark scenes. The HC7000’s 1000 ANSI lumens and the HC6500U’s 1200 ANSI lumens provide perfect brightness for dedicated home theater environments. HD8000 High Brightness 1080p Projector Mitsubishi’s HC8000 is its first ultra-bright 1080p HD projector designed for more exposed, brighter home theater environments. When living spaces are intended to capture fantastic, breathtaking views, installing a home theater environment in those areas often requires closing the curtains. However, with Mitsubishi’s new high-brightness HD8000, its 5000 lumens creates incredibly brilliant HD 1080p video images that don’t need a darkened room so ocean, mountain and city lights views can be enjoyed alongside an HD movie during panoramic sunsets, lazy afternoons or early weekend mornings. HC5500 1080p Projector Mitsubishi’s HC5500 is designed with inorganic 3LCD panels that are more durable and provide a more consistent, evenly toned color image than previous generations. With a newly developed LCD panel cooling duct, the HC5500 is one of the quietest projectors in the world at 19 dBa (low mode), so viewers can focus on the movie instead of a distracting hum of the fan. With the HC5500 Mitsubishi has also included an improved automatic iris function for quicker black-to-light image shift and has increased the contrast ratio to 14,000:1. This combination allows for dynamic, smooth transitions between light and dark and sharper overall details in dark areas, even in fast-action spaceship scenes or classic film noir. HC1600 720p Projector At 1700 lumens, the HC1600 uses Texas Instruments’ DLP technology, is brighter than its best-selling award-winning predecessor and fits more viewing environments. Mitsubishi’s low cost HC1600 makes a dynamic large screen HD home theater experience truly affordable, allowing more people to step up from fixed-size televisions to portable, flexible home entertainment in high definition.
