Clear, accurate colour output, a 16:9 native aspect ratio, and quiet operation make this BenQ home entertainment projector one of the best around.

A wonderful projector that packs together some of the best qualities of DLP and LCD technology, for under $4000. What more could you ask for?

A short-ish warranty is really the only negative point for what it is an outstanding home theatre projector.

We have no hesitation in recommending this projector to anyone who appreciates an excellent projected image.

Perhaps the best projector available at the moment in terms of price, quality and features.

If you're in the market for a top-notch home theatre projector, you can't go wrong with the Sanyo PLV-Z5.

The Mitsubishi Electric HC5000 is an exceptional home theatre projector. It has the power and versatility to deliver the latest high definition content while also being able to play regular DVDs at high quality.

This is almost the perfect projector for a home theatre setup; it'll produce sublime colours whether watching Blu-ray movies or DVDs, and it's also a very quiet and relatively cool operator. However, its ability to handle dark scenes could be better and its overall image quality is a little soft.

The home theatre projector has fallen on hard times of late, but don't let that stop you from considering this exceptional model. Both user-friendly and feature rich, it delivers an incredible high-def movie experience for the asking price. Ignore the industry doomsayers: Viewsonic's Pro8100 will make willing converts of anyone who sees it up and running.
