Vivitek H5080 Projector Review


Vivitek H5080 Projector Review


The Vivitek H5080 is one of the company’s few home theater projectors. This model features 1200 ANSI lumens, a 25000:1 contrast ratio, and full HD (1920 x 1080) resolution. Today, a writer from Trusted Reviews got the opportunity to see how good this projector actually is. The writer acknowledge that the projector is a mid range model and isn’t a high-end projector like the H9080FD. The connection panel was a welcomed surprise due to its three HDMI ports. The panel also comes with a VGA, component, s-video, and a composite connection. The projector has an impressive out-of-the-box quality, but if you want more it comes with a wide array of connection options. The only caution that the writer makes about the adjustment features is that sometimes the adjustments overcompensated and actually made the image look worse. However, the most impressive aspect of the display was the contrast ratio. It was able to deliver impressive black levels and detail. The only concerns that the writer had with the H5080 was with its brightness and the running noise. He thought that the projector was a little distracting at times and wasn’t bright enough to show the desired detail. The final verdict was, ‘It feels like almost every projector I see right now progresses the quality of home cinema projection forward in some way. And the H5080 is no exception, delivering black levels and colors in particular that are pretty revelatory on a sub-£3k projector. In fact, the level of achievement it delivers for that money makes the H5080 for me the most all-round attractive Vivitek projector yet - and possibly the model which, more than any other we’ve seen so far, secures Vivitek’s place at the UK AV table.’
