If you aren’t concerned with being a trend setter and can live without having the first 1080p display on your block, the Mitsubishi HD1000U high-definition DLP projector is one killer deal at only $999. Offering full 720p resolution, the HD1000U is a true digital-to-digital high-def solution that is compatible with any HD source, including Blu-ray and HD-DVD players.
It incorporates BrilliantColor, also from Texas Instruments, a color process that provides increased brightness with truer, more vibrant colors. The 1,500 ANSI lumens will deliver a bright picture that the company claims can accommodate a fair amount of ambient light, even in spaces with windows. The A/V memory allows users to pre-set their favorite color and video preferences.
