Brief Introduction
 Beta 2.5 |
The HC5500 LCD has 1200 Ansi lumens, a contrast of 14000:1 and an HDTV 1920 x 1080 resolution. With the lens shift function, the projector can be positioned very freely. The projector can illuminate a picture width of up to 352 cm well thanks to the 1200 Ansi lumens. In room lighting, however, the picture width should ideally be less than 235 cm. The projector can also play 1080P without any problems. With an operating noise of just 22 decibels, the model is very quiet compared to others. This model is no longer offered by Mitsubishi, but is still one of the very popular projectors.

HC5500 |
|
If the projector is mounted on the ceiling, an automatic cover for the lens would be a great advantage. Covering it without a ladder would be the ultimate perfection!!!!

Super beamer for the price |
|
Perfect, already the second replacement lamp from the HCinema lamp store and the thing runs like a charm. Home cinema is simply fun with this projector. No problems for about 5 years.

PERFECT |

This beamer makes even the more expensive brothers sweat. Price / performance it is the best projector I have ever had... and I‘ve had 5 others so far.

best home theater |
|
if the projector had a few more Ansi lumens, it would be perfect. So the realization remains that the room has to be totally darkened to get super-sharp cinema

I agree with the previous writers |
|
everything has already been said... Super part for people with little money and high demands. I can‘t find any weaknesses with the best will in the world.

Price-performance TOP! |
|
I can also emphasize above all
+ volume
+ sharpness
+ simple menu with sufficient setting options
+ decent zoom range
+ lens (zoom/lens shift) very fine and conveniently adjustable via remote control
But there are also small downsides:
- lens shift only vertical, therefore quickly distortions, if not placed centrally in front of the screen
- black level is quite ok (you can not expect miracles at the price)
I am super satisfied with the good piece!If you want to treat yourself to a projector tuning, you‘ll get a projector that can compete with the big ones for relatively little money, despite the additional costs!

Home theater in a class of its own |
|
I bought this thing on the advice of my friend and am totally thrilled. I can only agree with the previous speakers. The thing is really super quiet and the picture is just brilliant!!!

Pure enthusiasm |
|
I‘ve been testing it for two weeks now, but I really couldn‘t find any weak points. The picture is just as you would imagine a home theater picture to be. Black, sharp and high-contrast and with a long-lasting light source. The additional air filter included in the scope of delivery is further protection for the interior. To date, I have not regretted the investment. Especially as the price-performance ratio is right
My verdict: VERY RECOMMENDED

Very good price/performance |

Thanks to Daniel Ziesing for his tip from 29.09.08, on the main page your tip is still correct, but the calculator at the top of the bar now seems to show the correct values.
In any case, the values are the same as with the projection-calculator-pro on projectorcentral.

Great !!! |

I got myself the good thing and am totally satisfied. Black is black. Sharp is sharp and color is color... All round a top device that is super quiet and has a good lamp life.

Caution with the lens |
|
The information about the lens in the technical data in the projector database is
incorrect and comes from the HC4900 which has a different projection ratio than the HC5500 so be careful when calculating distances and image sizes.
