Almost great TV mount.......2007-12-26
First, let me start by saying I am blown away by how quickly Amazon filled this order. I placed the order on a Sunday, taking advantage of the standard (free) shipping, and was quite surprised when I received the order the following Wednesday.
The TV mount worked exactly as described, and came with an assortment of screws and other mounting hardware to do the trick. No extra trips to the hardware store - almost. Much to my chagrin, I discovered that when trying to hang my LG flat panel on the wall, this mount didn't extend out enough to allow the AC power cord to plug into the outlet I had located behind the TV. The TV plug projected from the wall about an 1 1/2", requiring me to go to the Depot to purchase a recessed wall outlet, like the ones used for hanging clocks.
My only other comment is that the set screws used to secure the TV to the mount are accessed using a very long allen wrench, and in order to turn them, you must crouch down below the hanging TV and carefully turn the wrench. This isn't terrible, but when the mount is flush against the wall, like this one is designed to fit, you are only able to get 3/4 of a turn of the wrench before you must take it out, and carefully reposition it in the allen screw. The whole process of securing the TV took about 5 minutes.
Have to say, all in all - this mount cost about half what a comparable mount at Best Buy would have cost - and does the trick nicely.
Excellent Wall Mount for the Money.......2007-12-18
I'm using this wall mount with a 37" Olevia LCD TV. It was very easy to install, and the TV is easy to mount and dismount (when needed). Just make sure you screw into wall studs, and not just drywall.
Great stand for the price.......2007-12-11
Seems very well built, and it comes with a ton of extra screws. The only problem is that I can't reach the "safety" screws on the bottom. I am not really concerned because even without those screws it would be just about impossible to knock the TV off the wall. It's working great with our Sharp Aquos 46" LCD.
There is an application guide on Peerless's website if you want to make sure it will fit your TV.
Good value for the money.......2007-11-30
I bought this wall mount for a 32" Vizio. I had to make some modification with the hardware, which wasn't a big deal, and then it went up in about 30 minutes. I took back the Vizio and bought a Toshiba from Amazon, and it went up even more easily. The installation seems very stable.
Delivery was fast and the price was great.

I installed this wall mount and hung my 46" Bravia XBR4 in less than 30min. This is a great item! I is nice that it is completely adjustable when the distance and the location of the beams vary. Great Product!!!
Slim Sturdy and Easy to Install.......2007-12-20
I bought this wall mount for my Samsung 46" LCD. Installation was a breeze. The kit comes with an assortment of screws and a look-up chart so you can cross refernce TV make and model with cortrect screw length. The wall mount was very easy to install. Took approx 20 mins for the wall mount to be secured to the wall studs + 5 mins to attach bars to the TV + 1 min to hang it up. Add another 5 mins to tighten all reamining safety screws.
One word of caution: I strongly suggest you carefully mark the location of the the wall studs. In my case, I wanted to hang the TV in the center of the wall but the stud positioins were not in my favor. As such, I had no choice but to install slightly to the left. The problem is you only have limited room to slide the TV on the maunt/rail to the right before you reach the end of the mount. If your TV allows it, go for the next size up in wall mount. That way, you have more room to sldie the TV left/right to center it in the wall.

Peerless ST660 Wall Mount Just So-so for Panasonic TH-58PZ700U Plasma.......2007-12-28
Per the Peerless website, this wall mount is compatible with the 58" Panasonic. However, I would only recommend using this mount for such a large/heavy (approx 145 lb) TV based on the location & quantity of wall studs you are able to mount to. If you happen to have the Panny 58" 700U, I strongly recommend you check to see if you have at least 2 wall studs that will be centered (or close to center) behind the TV. I could only mount to 2 studs and they were off center by close to 4". The directions allow the mount to be up to 4" off center, so I decided to keep the mount. However, once I mounted the TV, the wall mount (on the "weak side") pulled away from the wall slightly. I'm confident it will hold the TV but, if I had to do it again, I'd purchase a mount that uses slightly heavier gauge material (I believe Peerless does have a stronger mount available). If you are fortunate enough to be able to mount this wall mount to 2 studs centered behind the TV or, even better, 3 studs or have a smaller/lighter TV, I would not have any problem recommending this unit. One last thing - the installation directions could be better. One statement says always use multiwashers and another entry for my particular TV says the washer isn't needed. Another statement says the braces must be centered on the back of the TV and another says the braces don't need to be centered on my TV. Not a big deal but these obvious conflicting statements should not exist in installation directions.
Peerless Universal Tilt Wall Mount worked great.......2007-12-28
I used this product to hang a 50" plasama to the wall. The instructions were very clear and the product works great. I would recommend this to anyone.
Sturdy but you may need special screws for your TV.......2007-12-20
The stand is sturdy and comes with quite an assormant of screws for mounting different televisions. I was using it for a Sony W3000 52" TV. It had my TV listed in a book that said which of the sets of screws to use. I tried these and they were too long. It had another set that was the same diameter but they were too short. After reading the manual that came with my telelvision I found out that I needed an inbetween size that did not come with the mount kit. After going to 2 Home Depot's and a Lowes I was unable to find the right size bolts, so I ended up buying a set of washers, and had to use 3 of them for each of the bolts that came with mount kit so that I could tighten them with out poking a hole through the front of the TV. I was actually also surprised with Sony for not including the mounting bolts for their with tv.
Good mount BUT, order the other model for 50"+ sets.......2007-12-20
This mounting system is very strong, well made, and the tilt mechanism works great. The locking screws that secure the TV arm brackets to the mounting plate add an extra level of security.
However, it's a real shame the wall bracket isn't just a couple of inches wider, so it would span 3 studs (on 16" centers). I should have read reviewer G. Knight's comments about this, before ordering.
I should have checked my stud locations before ordering this mount. I discovered that the centerline of my optimal TV location on my wall, was almost directly over a stud. So, I had to shift the mount left to the farthest recommended holes. After mounting the TV on the bracket and shifting it to the right to compensate, the wall bracket flexes by an undesireable amount.
If you are going to mount a 50" or larger TV on your wall, and want a precise placement, I recommend that you avoid this model and go with the ST670 series instead.
On the other hand, if you have a wide latitude for positioning your TV on the wall, or are lucky enough so that your TV's centerline lies directly between two studs (plus or minus 2"), this mount will do the job very nicely. My advice is, determine where you want your TV then check to see if your stud locations are optimally placed, before ordering.
Three stud mount needed for larger, or not centered studs.......2007-12-18
Unit comes with a two stud mount, I am mounting a 60 LG plasma and feel I need Peerless part 200-1901/2. I am finding out that part is about $45 plus shipping. Not available on Amazon and not available retail. Am in the middle of mounting the tv and now I have to wait....something I don't like to do.

It's different.... .......2007-12-01
Def. gives the room a certain flair!! I bought mine used & it was in great condition!!
Clock ok, projections is poor.......2007-10-23
The clock is ok, but the projection is poor.
The light for the projection is very faint.
The time for the projection has to be set separately from the main clock.
Unfortunately a 'no go'.......2007-10-06
I used this projector clock to try to project 3 feet in a mostly dark room. It attempted to project a 4 inch image onto a white paper on my wall. Unfortunately, the lines were too thin and too faded to see the image from more than 4 feet away. It did not work for my purpose.
disappointing.......2007-09-26
I bought the clock excited about the new features it contained. I thought it can be used internationally as I travel alot having a voltage of 220...it came with v110, when I used outside the US, I had to buy a transformer and somehow the problem persists. The digital clock (not the projected one) keeps forwarding its time in a really fast pace...not by minutes I wish, but it forwards 20 mintues in the passing of two hours!!! I cant seem to solve this problem...and I actually use the projector time at night but cover the digital one in tape so I wont wake up late...basically it sucks not even using the alarm because of this problem. Real bulky too, did not expect it to be that big.
A little disappointment.......2007-09-09
The projector isn't very practical in use. Because, the projection has only one degree of freedom: forward and backward; no rotations to left and right. I would like to be able to project on the wall on my right or left when the display is oriented towards me. Also, you have to adjust each clock separately. The other thing, it doesn't work from battery! Battery is used just for not loosing current adjustment in case of power outage. If you have no electricity, you will see nothing at all on the display! And the alarm buzz is really annoying, it sounds like a fire alarm. I always use the radio as the alarm sound. It works quite good though.
But despite its design problems, I love this clock; it looks nice and it is really easy to see the projection on the wall when it is dark. If you use glasses like me, and have problems to see the clock at night, it is just perfect! But keep in mind that in daylight the projection is not visible (which is totally normal). I could give 5 stars if the projection could rotate right and left, and if it could work with battery.

If you are a high-definition video enthusiast who's looking for a more affordable way to bring a front-screen projection to your home theater or family room, the Mitsubishi HC1500 projector is the right choice for you.
Amazon.com Product Description
Forget the mere 70 inches of even large flat-panel displays, the HC1500 DLP Projector lets you project a high definition image hundreds of inches large. With its quiet operation and huge, beautiful picture, the HC1500 could make your home cinema the envy of all your neighbors.
The HC1500 is just 6.5 pounds and has 1600 ANSI lumens of brightness and a 2500:1 contrast ratio. View larger. View product details. |
The HC1500 can project an image up to 275 inches for a true theater experience. |
True HD Images
The HC1500 DLP projector projects video in a native 720p format so you get a highly detailed HD picture that looks crisp even at large sizes. It features Texas Instruments BrilliantColor, which utilizes a seven-segment color wheel and an algorithm that enables brighter mid-tones and more realistic color. The HC1500 also offers 1600 ANSI lumens of brightness and a 2500:1 contrast ratio. Depending on the size of your room, you can project the image from 40 inches to 275 inches diagonal. The HC1500 has a lamp life of 3000 hours in low mode and 2000 hours in bright mode.
Pure Connection From Source to Screen
The HC1500 has HDMI 1.2 and component cable connections to ensure a pure input signal from beginning to end. With 10-bit processing, the information is unsullied and the result is a pure image on the screen.
Be advised that this projector (as with most projectors) does not include a tuner; to watch television, you need to provide a television signal, either through an external tuner or a cable box.
Easy Set Up and Quiet Operation
At just 6.5 pounds, the HC1500 is easy to transport and move around in your home theater room, and it has both vertical and horizontal digital keystone correction that makes it easy to mount on the ceiling or place on a table. The HC1500 operates at a quiet 25dBA that won't distract you while you're enjoying movies or television. A 12-volt Trigger jack allows the projector to control a compatible motorized screen. A remote control with backlit buttons is included.
The HC1500 is backed by a 1-year limited parts and labor warranty, and a 90-days lamp warranty.

Great for movies!.......2007-12-18
What I like best about this projector is the price. After reading good reviews and comparing prices, I went ahead with the HC1500. Thanks to Projectorreviews.com, Projectorcentral.com, audioholics.com and especially amazon.com. After almost 2 weeks of usage, I can now say that it has exceeded my expectations. No rainbow effects and no aspect ratio issues. It has to be ceiling mounted in order to have a clear view without disturbances from people passing in front. No problems with ceiling mounting though because it's light and small. I used what Amazon recommended, the Atdec ceiling mount.
For me standard DVDs is good enough. I'm using an entry-level Philips home theater system and the surround sound is already stunning. I don't have a dedicated home theater room but I have a big bedroom (about 12' x 26') so converting into one wasn't difficult. I just used an ordinary white cloth as a screen and projected at about 12' to get a 100-inch diagonal picture.
This is a home theater projector and by that term it means that you should turn off the lights to get the best picture (just like in a real movie theater - dark). There should be no light in front of the projector. You can have some ambient light at the back of the projector without affecting the brighness and contrast of the picture. But with this setup, it's a good trade-off compared to more expensive LCD and Plasma tv's.
At first, I was concerned with the life of the bulb. But doing the math, I come to realize that I can change the bulb 5 times and it will still come out cheaper than a 60-inch LCD TV.
If you're looking for a big screen home theater experience, you can't go wrong with front projectors especially this one. And at this price (Amazon has the lowest price anywhere, trust me), it's really a bargain.
Best projector in it's price range........2007-12-15
The Mitsubishi HC1500 perforned better than any other projector under $1000 that we tried, It does not have an iris for lens shift which means that where we want to place the unit is limited by the screen size we want achive. However this projector is small and light enough that finding an inexpensive universal mount was not difficult. Even in less than ideal conditions (ours is in the living room on the main floor with vertical blinds on the windows that let in a lot of ambiet light and odd shaped glares) the HC1500 delivers vivid color, natural skin tones and artifact free motion comprable to much more expensive projectors. I did find that this unit's ability to upscale a lower resolution image (480i or 1080i) was not the best; it produced some jittery lines and had trouble keeping up with high action scenes. Since we have ours connected to an upconverting DVD player (you could also use a HD player to produce a higher quality signal) the problem is completely resolved. Bottom line, even with a mount, the screen and two cables we have an 80" 720p HD image with crisp blacks and smooth action for our home theater system all for under a grand.
Breathtaking, fantastic, wonderful.......2007-12-10
For the last few years, I've been laboring along with a nice Onkyo surround sound system, but only an antiquated (read: really nice five years ago) 27" CRT TV for a display. The effect was okay, but I've long been lusting after an HD solution. And based on flexibility and price, I decided on a projector.
I had narrowed my list down to the two 720p projectors available for less than $1,000 - the Optoma HD70 and the Mitsubishi HD1000U - and wound up deciding on the HD1000U because it appeared to be brighter and have better color, as well as (let's face it, this is the most important factor) looking a little cooler.
Well, the HC1500 replaced the HD1000U, and I received it as a surprise gift this past weekend.
So, what's the verdict? Well, let's step back for a moment.
Since I was caught unprepared, this was my setup:
- my basement was not light-controlled - there was light coming in through the windows, and always a light on in the room
- the projector was throwing onto a ragged old 4:3 projector screen (wrong aspect ratio)
- the projector was elevated by sitting haphazardly on its own box, the front propped up by a DVD case (which horribly keystoned the picture)
- since I don't yet have HD programming, or an HD-DVD/Blu-Ray player, all I played was standard definition content - primarily standard DVDs from a circa-2002 DVD player and original XBOX games.
You would expect that in this situation, with the projector shown in the worst possible light (literally), that it would perform in a disappointing fashion. You would be wrong.
Standard DVDs looked *fantastic.* Even inches away from the screen, the picture looks good - you can see pixels, but nowhere close to the degree I expected. At only a few feet from the screen, the picture looked incredibly crisp and vibrant.
Back at the recommended viewing distance, the picture was unreal. Bright, beautiful, fantastic. I hesitate to say this, because this opinion might still be driven by adrenaline, but I actually think it looks better than a movie theater, without the faded colors that you typically see at most theaters.
I've looked at projectors at places like Fry's and Best Buy (to say nothing of sports bars) and always been disappointed by how faded the picture looks. But even in my non-light controlled basement, with a lamp or two on, the picture looked sharp, rich and incredibly saturated.
A standard-definition game on my original XBOX looks awesome too. Even Halo 1, which came out - what? - a milennium ago, looks breathtaking. I was only projecting a 77" screen (much smaller than the 106" I want to move to) but even so it was incredibly immersive. It was enough to trigger my wife's motion sickness, but both in Halo and in racing games, I felt completely sucked into the picture. I can't imagine what it would look like with an XBOX 360 or a PS3.
I stayed up until 12:30 last night playing big-screen Halo, and I'm itchy to go home and mess around with the projector again tonight. I haven't felt that way about something like this for a long, long time.
Even with the projector sitting on its box about a foot away, I couldn't hear the fan over the sound of the movies or the games. I expected something much louder, but I'm sure that suspended from the ceiling it will be almost unnoticeable even during quiet scenes.
Given all this, I can't wait until I can actually use the projector in a way that shows it to its advantage - a new screen, a ceiling mount, HD programming, no keystoning. One potential downside might be installation trickiness - getting the cables where they need to go across the ceiling without looking too ugly, for example.
Moving from a 13" TV/VCR combo to a 27" TV with DVD and surround sound was revolutionary for me five years ago - a complete revamp of how I watched TV. Tivo did the same for me two years ago. This has the potential to be a bigger step forward than either of those.
I recognize the fact that this might be as much a review of modern projector technology as it is of this specific Mitsubishi. Perhaps it's simply because I'm new to the world of projectors, and would have been blown away by any projector, but I'm really struggling to describe how great this is. I was ready to spend $800 on one of these, but even so it is leaps and bounds better than I thought it would be. It is brighter, sharper, and quieter than I thought was possible.
I honestly don't know what you'd get from a more expensive projector, or from a much more expensive plasma or LCD flat-screen TV. What's the point?
great color, not as sharp as others.......2007-12-10
This is my second HD compatible DLP projector, my first was the Olympus V-1, which being the size of a large paperback, served double duty as a backup projector for office type work. The Mitsubishi 1500 was picked from looking the the ProjectorReview (sic) website, which basically lushed over its predecessor the Mitshubishi 1000, and the review is worth reading to find out how to tune this beasty.
First off it has a stunning, colorful picture, makes the Olympus almost seem black and white in comparison. However the tradeoff is it is not as razor sharp via the HDMI as the old projector was (no DVI input unfortunately so you have to live with the internal HDMI scaling issues.) I am driving this with an OPPO upscaling DVD player and for example lines of type in the credits that were clearly legible on the Olympus, are less so on the Mitsubishi.
The Mitsubishi had no problems when fed with 480p, 540P, or 720p via the HDMI input (the resultant picture was scaled to the projectors native 720p) but had picture jitter when I drove it with 1080i. I tried to route the OPPO signal via the VGA input using a DVI/VGA adapter but it wouldn't sync with it.
However, when I hooked it up to a 1080i output from a Mac laptop with the same adapter, running HDTV of an NFL game, the results were simply stunning. I display this on a nine foot screen and there was no noticeable lag even at this size. So if you have a DVI native product maybe try going via VGA and bypassing the HDMI input here.
In summary for DVD viewing I would give it a 4, but for HDTV a 5.
Pros: brilliant picture, even on low power
extremely quiet, you almost have to strain to hear it when playing movies
Cons: others have commented on its poor handling of native 4:3 material, I only use it for HD so its not a problem for me; the menus are very complicated and you will only want to adjust them once and hope it remembers; picture not as sharp via HDMI as it could be; output angle of this projector is high so since we keep it at table level I have to really tip it up on its hind legs to hit the correct viewing angle
One year warranty?.......2007-12-07
I just got this projector and completely blows away my old Epson Powerlite S1+ in terms of brightness and picture quality. The best term I can apply to it is "Light cannon".
You must be very careful if you are ceiling mounting it. I mounted mine where my old Epson was and the limited zoom barely gave me the large sized picture I was used to. Otherwise I would have had to move my mount and the accompanying wiring back a few feet.
Everywhere the warranty is listed as one year. But the documentation on the side of the projector box lists the HD1000 at one year and the HC series (which I would think the HC1500 is part of) at two years.

77c 2200.......2007-12-28
Used it twice. So far has no problem using it. All projectors are heat producer.
When finish using it, may need to let it cool down prior to putting back into the bag/carry-on nylon case.
Price is affordable relatively. Resolution is about right (if native resolution can be one level up, say, 1600 by 1200 then it would have been ideal)
Photo Club Review.......2007-12-22
This is the best projector we've used, but it isn't perfect. Even with all of the color corrections possible using the menu system, photos don't come out exactly as seen on the monitor. Start up and shut down are easy. The menu works easily and well.
For the price, it is very acceptable.
Very Nice Projector.......2007-12-18
I purchased the Epson 77c Multimedia Projector for use at my investment club meetings. Its performance is outstanding. The powerpoint presentations and web downloads are crisp and clear. Combine this with the no hassle straight forward Amazon ordering and shipping makes me a very satisfied customer.

This is a very nice projector for the money. Color fidelity is good, brightness is good on economy setting in a lit room (ours is 3.1m from screen). Triple LCD gives a nice flicker free, rainbow free image. Epson is a good brand.

Great universal projector mount.......2007-12-18
I was a bit skeptical because the mount was so inexpensive, but for a being a universal mount, it is actually quite nice. It does the job as expected.
Great Mount for Optoma HD70.......2007-12-15
I used the Atdec Telehook Universal Projector Flush Mount to mount my Optoma HD70. I did have to buy toggle tolts to secure the mount where it needed to be, but I knew that before I bought it. The whole mount took me a couple of hours to mount. Most of that time was due to having to find the exact location it needed to be mounted for my projector to work in the viewing room.
A bargain. And it came with the screws........2007-11-03
First, this mount works fine at less than half the price of most others. It is a bit tricky to adjust, but how often must you do that? It's very adaptable, with many different projector mounting screws that should cover any projector. Despite what previous reviewers have said, it came with two #14 hex head screws and washers for hanging the mount either directly from a joist or (using plastic plugs) simply from wallboard. I would not trust wallboard mounting myself, but it would probably work with a lightweight projector.
The projector mounting screws come in two bags. The smallest (one length of 2.5 and two lengths of 3.0 metric screws) are in one bag which I failed to notice at first. Since I needed the 2.5Ms for my Optoma projector, I picked up some at the local hardware store -- only to later find the supplied ones in the separate bag. All the other projector mounting screws are in a large plastic bag with separate compartments for each size. Unfortunately the compartments are labeled with letters, and the instruction leaflet only refers to them by size. Once I discovered the three smallest screw sizes in their separate bag, I then noticed that the other screws were listed in the parts inventory in the same order as the letters on the compartments. Knowing that, you can easily figure out which screws are which, but it would have been much better to show the letters with the sizes in the instruction leaflet.
Overall, I am quite pleased with this mount. And being a universal mount should make it simple when I upgrade to an HD projector.
Solid but not quite solid enough.......2007-10-08
I purchased this item for my Sanyo PLV-Z5. I previously (in my former house) had a Chief mount. Chief mounts cost twice as much as this one. When I opened the package for this, I was pleasantly surprised; very dense, high quality metal, nice solid customization, easy to use screws, etc. But once I actually got it up on the ceiling, I was disappointed to discover it does not have a full range of tilt settings, but more critically, it is very difficult to have perfectly steady and secure. It took me an hour to get it even with the screen and I'm still (months later) tinkering with it to get the screws as tight as I can. It's hard to describe what I'm talking about without having one, but basically, the screws that you tighten to make sure the projector doesn't shake at all are not tough/large/secure enough to keep it from shaking. I'm not talking the San Andreas fault here. It's probably not perceptible to someone not familiar with home theater stuff. But I notice.
On the whole though, for half the price of chief you get something ALMOST (not quite) as good. Pretty good deal and product.
A bit pricey, but did the job.......2007-09-22
This is a solid mount. Other than not including the screw/bolt you'll need to attach this to the ceiling, it has everything you'll need.

Grandrich EZ Reader 27-Watt Fluorescent Floor Lamp #ES-101N
If you are looking for a floor lamp for your kids to use for studying in their room, this is it. We've purchased several lamps before this and they were either not enough light or too florescent.
Let there be light.......2007-10-30
Now I can read in my favorite chair! This light is bright, cool, and ecologically friendly.
Great lamp!.......2007-10-27
I bought this to replace an Ott Light floor lamp that died on me a few months ago. This was a lot less expensive and it just a good a light. It is full spectrum, sturdy and I can move it around my sewing room as needed.

Multimedia Projector.......2007-09-19
The Epson S5 2000 Lumen 3LCD Multimedia Projector has worked perfectly since received earlier in September 2007. Things you should note are the projector comes with a carrying case and it creates a lot of heat. So operate it in a cool environment. Hook up is a snap and is truely very light.
Digital projection technology has really come around!.......2007-09-11
What can I say? I manage the Western US for our firm. I present industry seminars to groups of 10 to 50. Being in the graphics industry, I'm pretty saavy with inkjet and other printing technologies, and have been in photography since high school. I thought I knew digital projectors. However, I wasn't prepared for all the new advances in portable digital projection technology.....at least not for under $600. Not only can you electronically zoom in or out on total picture size, but you can electronically "tilt the image" forward or back, to compensate for raising the front of the projector to elevate the image on your screen or wall. It takes care of the "trapizoidal distortion" in optical projectors of yester-year. I was blown away. And by the way, this projector really is "physically super-light", a good thing if you dread carrying your equipment around a building, etc. As for setup "out of the box", I test drove it within minutes. I didn't even need the quick-startup manual, although it's a 5 minute read, and gives you all the info you need to get going. Connecting to my corporate Dell laptop took seconds, and I simply used the monitor output cable they supplied with the projector. I'll be ready to use this tomorrow AM if I want. I'm totally satisfied. I even got a remote control.......I honestly wasn't even thinking about that little extra. What a deal.
Excelent multimedia projector.......2007-07-30
