Projector Central Product review: Mitsubishi WD620U 1280×800 Widescreen Projector

The Mitsubishi WD620U is an extremely bright projector that is ideally suited to the conference room or classroom that needs a high impact image on a large format screen. The WD620U’s WXGA 1280×800 native resolution, driven by a .65″ single DLP chip, is combined with a high quality lens and results in a very sharp and vivid projected image. The Mitsubishi WD620U also provides a lot of value for the dollar thanks to a 5,000-hour lamp life, a filter free design, and an exceptional 3-year warranty with prompt replacement assistance.

Advantages

Brightness: The Mitsubishi WD620U is specified at a peak brightness value of 4,000 ANSI-lumens. The review sample performed very close to this specification, measuring 3,743 ANSI-lumens or 93% of the published specification. The WD620Us brightest output was found with BrilliantColor at the highest setting, standard lamp mode and the Presentation image preset. Switching the lamp mode to low reduced the light output by 19% resulting in 3,019 ANSI-Lumens (Presentation preset with BrilliantColor at maximum).

This amount of light-horsepower gives the Mitsubishi WD620U flexibility in supporting many different viewing environments and screen sizes. On a screen size of 10 feet wide (138 inches in diagonal at a 1.78 aspect ratio) with a gain of one, the WD620U will produce screen brightness of 59.9 ft-lamberts. This degree of brightness was more that sufficient to overcome ambient light when the WD620U was tested in a ‘worst case’ conference room scenario that consisted of testing mid-day in a corner room with windows on two sides.
