Vivitek H9080FD Projector Review

A detailed review of the Vivitek H9080FD 1080p home theater projector. This review has just been posted, consider it a "first pass". Better proofing, additional content and more H9080FD comparative images will be added over the next two weeks. Before we get started with the review of the Vivitek H9080FD home theater projector, I need to comment about the photos posted in this review. I'll also go into the issue in further detail in the Image Quality page. Here's the scoop: Whether the H9080FD or any other home theater projector, I always remind our readers that they need to take the photos provided with a grain - no, maybe a pound, of salt. In other words, the photos taken normally give a good, but not a great idea of what the projected image looks like on the screen. For example, 3LCD projectors tend to look like they have stronger greens in the photos, than in reality. Typical DLP's and LCoS projectors also tend to be off, with LCoS similar to 3LCD, and DLP having far less shift to green. This Vivitek though, uses an LED light source, and the photos for this shoot came out nothing short of horrible, with the same camera settings I use for all reviews.
