Mitsubishi LVP-HC1100 HD Projector
The Mitsubishi LVP-HC1100 is the most new affordable HD projector from Mitsubishi at only $1,500, a fair amount less than the other bigger brothers of the LVP-HC1100. With this lower price also brings less features. It is of course HD and has a resolution of 1,280×720 and is powered by the image improving DarkChip2 technology. The LVP-HC1100 has a contrast ratio of 3,000:1 and 1,000 lumans brightness. There is no HDMI input on the LVP-HC1100 which is unfortunate, but there is a DVI-D input along with the normal composite and S-Video inputs. The unit is powered by the same 200 watt lamp that powers the HC3100 projector. This projector would make a nice starting point for a first time budding HD enthusiast.
