Most newly launched 3D home theater projectors cost well into the five-figure range, but this is not the case for the latest Mitsubishi HC9000. At S$7,999 (US$6,145.99), the HC9000 is one of the more affordable 3D beamers featuring SXRD technology (read: LCoS) for a high 120,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio. To view 3D content, users are required to install an optional infrared emitter and don active shutter 3D eyewear. The HC9000 is compatible with 3D Blu-ray films, as well as side-by-side and top-and-bottom formatted 3D broadcasts.
Other notable performance-centric features include 240Hz frame interpolation to minimize 3D crosstalk or double images, and an HQV Reon VX processor renowned for jaggies-free DVD-upscaling. Installation is also further simplified through a powerful 1.8x extra-low dispersion (ED) zoom lens and wide lens shift adjustments without compromising picture quality. Having said that, you might also like to check out the S$6,999 (US$5,377.64) JVC DLA-RS40, which comes with comparable, if not better, hardware specifications on paper.
