There are other improvements. Mitsubishi has come up with a denser, multi-stage air filter that keeps the optical chain free of dust. The HC5000 I have here acquired a tiny but noticeable dust particle a few months into operation that would be very difficult to remove without a major disassembly. The new filter, which snaps into the existing side panel, provides 100% coverage around its edges — something the older filter didn’t.
Gone for 2007 is the DVI connection, to be replaced by a second HDMI port. Both ports are compatible with HDMI 1.3, by the way. The power zoom/focus/lens shift function is also improved, letting the user choose between a fast mode of operation, or to make adjustments in incremental steps. And you can now disable the grid pattern during lens operation.

There’s also been a price decrease to $3,500.

This three-chip LCD projector can toss out a contrast ratio of 12,000:1 according to Mitsubishi, using its automatic iris mechanism that dynamically adjusts according to the brightness of the scene. Most intriguing is the quote of 19dB of noise sneaking out of its cleverly named "sirocco fan," and if the company's not fudging on that spec, that would be the quietest projector we've ever heard. Nice.
Mitsubishi is starting a limited run of these babies in Japan in October, and maybe if the reception is good this one might compete against that Panasonic and Epson $3000 1080p projector juggernaut. Available in an either black or white, expect this one to sell for just north of $3K if it ever makes it to these shores.
