Changes from HC5000
- improved contrast ratio (10,000:1->13,000:1)
- faster dynamic iris
- DVI input replaced with a second HDMI (both HDMIs are now 1.3)
- finer adjustment capabilities with power zoom and shifting
- second air filter added
The biggest improvement between the two models is the faster Auto Iris on the 6000. As a refreshed, the Auto Iris feature automatically adjust the brightness of the lamp depending on the scene, so the subtle details on dark scenes are visible, and vice versa with bright scenes. Many people complained about the significant lag on the 5000's Auto Iris which could take up to 1 second to adjust, and could be quite distracting. Mitsubishi has listened to these complaints and reduced the lag of the Auto Iris to 1/10 of a second. The faster Auto Iris has the extra benefit that the perceived contrast ratio is significantly higher than the specs can relate.
All details about the flexibility with lens shifting and zooming, and the image processing can be found on the HC5000 product report as they're the exact same.
