Vivitek H1080FD

Zitat: Pro: + Full HD picture + superb Movie mode + extensive range of inputs. Contra: - Noisy Boost mode - some light spill - DLP technology is not to everyone´s taste. This is a decent home theatre projector that makes the most of any HD media that you fancy watching. The inclusion of dual HDMI ports is a nice touch, but the main strength of the H1080 lies in its ability to display dark movie scenes with outstanding accuracy.

Zitat: My initial question for the Vivitek 1080FD was whether it could be a great 1080p Home Theater projector for less than a $1000…and the answer would be yes. While it has a few opportunities for improvement, most users that plan to put the 1080FD as the centerpiece of their Home Theater or gaming rig will not be disappointed, especially considering the investment.

Zitat: Vivitek´s H1080FD is among the first 1080p projectors to launch at a retail price of $999. People still are not quite sure what to expect from projectors in this range. You might notice that all of the H1080FD´s advantages have to do with image quality. This is for good reason; the projector looks fantastic for the price. Conversely, most of the H1080FD´s quirks relate to user interface. The projector has some weaknesses, to be certain - navigating and using the menu system is annoying, color calibration takes some effort, and the color temperature presets do not seem to do anything at all. That said, these issues can be worked around, and once you have the projector set up and tuned to your liking, you won´t have to deal with them during everyday use. The H1080FD is a great choice for HD sports and video game display to large-screen home theater. If you have children who play video games and you already own a projector, the H1080FD would be a great second projector to preserve lamp hours on your higher-end primary unit. Photography display is bright and dynamic, with plenty of three-dimensionality; furthermore, rainbows artifacts are a non-issue for still images, and the H1080FD is clearly a great choice as a photography projector. For $999, the H1080FD offers an excellent value proposition. If you can ignore or work around the projector´s quirks, it offers a beautiful image for very little money, and can be a great first step into large-screen home theater.
