Although I can't think of a single home theater enthusiast that wouldn't be interested in owning a Full HD projector, the truth of matter is that most such solutions available out there are far more expensive than what many consumers can afford, so ViewSonic 1080p HD PRO8200 should prove to be quite an attractive option for many of you in search of such a device that doesn't break the bank.

Built using the DLP technology along with BrilliantColor, this 2,000 lumens and 4000:1 contrast ratio projector should offer quite a impressive image quality thanks to the 7-segment color wheel and the PW980 video processor used by ViewSonic in the HD PRO8200.

Furthermore, this also features a wide range of input and connectivity options, including two HDMI 1.3 inputs with HDCP compliance and a component video input.

These can be used to connect a variety of video sources as it's fully compatible with gaming consoles, Blu-ray and DVD players as well as other such devices.

In addition, the HD PRO8200 also comes with a RS232 control port so this can be integrated with most automation system available out there.

“It is of paramount importance that we offer our customers an assortment of quality display solutions with extensive flexibility to meet a range of projection needs,” said Roger Chien, projector product manager for ViewSonic.

“Our Pro8200 is no exception, in that it is ideal for both home entertainment viewing purposes such as HDTV, movies and gaming, as well as for commercial A/V installers requiring cost-effective HD solutions for corporate boardrooms, lecture halls, auditoriums and churches.”

End of it all, the best part about the HD PRO8200 is its price, as ViewSonic retails this for just $999 (together with a three-year limited parts and labor warranty), a pretty low price for what seems to be quite a feature rich projector.
