CNET editors' buying advice

We have not reviewed this product but here is CNET's buying advice on Home Theater Projectors. This content was chosen based on the features included with this model of home theater projector.

Understanding Front-projection TVs - LCD

LCD and DLP are very close in terms of performance, and even LCD's ability to produce good blacks has improved quite a bit. DLP still enjoys a slight edge in contrast ratio, however, mainly because its projectors can get a bit brighter than those of LCDs. The screen-door effect, which appears as a fine grid of pixels overlaying the screen, is also more noticeable on most LCD projectors. As we mentioned above, however, 720p LCD projectors still enjoy more features than their budget 720p DLP competition, including highly desirable items such as horizontal and vertical lens shift. No consumer-priced 1080p LCD projectors are currently available.

Upside:	Downside:	Forecast:
Can get extremely bright; decent uniformity; generally better black-level performance than LCD.	More expensive than similar-resolution LCD models; rainbow effect.	Already the most popular technology for home-theater projection, new less-expensive 720p versions will make DLP even more desirable.

Summary: The Hitachi Performa lowers the price bar, but many users will notice some of the compromises that were made along the way. Competing models around the same price offer more features and better quality.
