Hi Friends!! Inods is the place where you can clear all your queries regarding products, travel, movies, books etc. by reading the reviews and guides for the same. I have compiled some of the best reviews and guides. Why not peek into my research space and decide what to buy!!!

Falls short

It is clear that BenQ was seeking a videophile imaging science performance pedigree. For mastering and other professional applications the W10000 simply falls short and it is indeed unfortunate that it does not meet imaging science in one area that simply should not even be a problem for such a product; color space. Indeed, considering everything else this projector gets right, it is perplexing how this could have been missed in the final design and production of the product. I would also prefer Color Enhancement be aligned and calibrated at the factory providing at least a reference point for correct color decoding and let the end user play artist if they prefer.

Unbelievable machine

I purchased this 3 months ago and it runs great. It did not need any calibration because user controls were more than sufficient. Bright colors and dimensional effect in HD. Unbelievable machine.

Impressive

There is no question that BenQ’s W10000 is an impressive 1080p one-chip DLP projector. It does have a slight edge over the Sharp XV-Z20000 in primary color accuracy when tweaked, but falls short on the secondary colors. On the other hand, the Sharp does a better job of processing 1080i HDTV sources, which include the vast majority of HD content on cable and satellite systems. The Sharp also has a total of three digital inputs: two HDMIs and one DVI. I consider the two projectors to be very close in performance, with the Sharp having a slight edge over the BenQ, offering better connectivity options. At its retail price of $6,000, I consider the BenQ to be the best value in 1080p DLP projectors as of this writing. It also handily outperforms any and all of the LCoS projectors I have seen in its price range, including the $5000 Sony VPL-VW50 “Pearl,� in just about every aspect of picture quality.

Great

I really am impressed with the W10000 home theater projector. So far, it's the best overall 1080p projector reviewed. While the W10000 doesn't have the best color out of the box, it does do a good job. Minor adjustments using a basic calibration disk that almost any non-technical person can probably handle in an hour's time, is all that is needed to improve performance. For the real hard core afficianado, the W10000 is ISF calibrated, so, if you are dropping the "big bucks" on not just a projector, but screen, room furnishings, etc, you should seriously consider spending the roughly $1000 for a professional calibration to take the W10000 to its ultimate performance level.

Good

The BenQ W10000 projector is yet another offering in the 1080p market we are seeing grow. One of the biggest advantages is the fact that it is the lowest priced 1080p DLP on the market, bringing that technology level to a point more people can afford. It offers lots of adjustment capabilities, good contrast, sharp optics with flexible installation, and great build quality. All in all, for those who prefer the DLP technology, but are also looking for good value, this is one to definitely consider in your search.

Delivers excellent performance

BenQ's W10000 delivers excellent performance for a 1080p 1-chip DLP projector, especially considering its relatively low price.

Very good

All in all, the HC5000 is a successful throw, which offers the buyer an awful lot for his money. We can only recommend a personal demonstration with a specialist dealer in your proximity. But be aware: there is no guarantee that you will not spontaneously leave the shop with € 3990,-- less on your bank account and a cardboard box under your arm!

Distinctive product

This is not necessarily a budget projector, but considering the advanced features and "convenience package" Mitsubishi throws in with motorized lens shift, focus and zoom - not to mention the sleek lines and beautiful housing - you do indeed have a value product. One must also consider the calibration results - if this is consistent across all models, then the HC5000 gets my complete thumbs up as a "must-see" product and one of the nicest pictures I've witnessed this year. In a sea of new 1080p projectors being released this year, Mitsubishi has a distinctive product that sets it apart as a leader. If you're shopping for a 1080p model you owe it to yourself to check it out. If you're a custom installer this unit should be on your very short list as it's certain to make your customers ecstatic.

Remarkable

With the HC5000, Mitsubishi has done a great deal more than just hit a leading edge, low price point with 1080p. The projector is remarkable for its beautifully natural picture quality, as well as a host of features that makes it about as user friendly and easy to install as any projector out there. We are very pleased to give the HC5000 our strongest possible recommendation, and we offer our warmest congratulations to the product managers and engineers at Mitsubishi for a job exceedingly well done.

Fairly attractive projector

Overall the HC5000BL is a fairly attractive projector. The black finish should work for most people placing the projector in their theaters (which hopefully have dark ceilings).
