HP vp6111 User Reviews

The long term performance of the vp6111 in daily use environments has proved it unreliable, prone to a variety of failures beyond expected component replacements (particularly power supplies and physical inputs) and not at all a currently-worthwhile investment. As a used unit, one would be better off seeking another more tried-and-true solution than the 6111.

Any Problems: We have approximately 40 deployed units, and have seen a failure rate (total failure, nonrepairable) of about 30% after five years, especially PSUs and physical inputs.

IT IS GOOD ESPECIALLY FOR HOME MOVIES AND SPORTS 10FT SCREEN PERFECT FOR OUTSIDE USE CANT SAY ENOUGH .... ..... ...... GREAT CHIOCE GOOD PRICE

I wanted to give back since this site was so helpful. I have the HP VP6111 set up for home theater. It's is excellent. I have 755 hours so far, and no problems. I have comcast HDTV and The Sox and the Patriots never looked better! I have not noticed any rainbow effect as mentioned in other reviews. Over all I am thrilled with this machine.

Any Problems: Occasionally I notice the screendoor effect on all white backgounds ( no big deal) The replacement lamp is well over $500.00 usd. I will probably buy another projector at 800.00 or shop around for something with a less expensive replacement lamp. The good news is it's UHP which should last between 3-4000 hours in economy mode. Last thing is, Dark scenes are a little too dark but that could be compensated for by taking it out of eco mode. Mike

I got the HP VP6111 with a $200 rebate. $899 final cost. I had never seen DLP projection video before, but I did own a Novabeam Model 100 back about 10 years ago. I am using the Novabeam 72" screen, and am absolutly amazed at the brightness and clarity of the VP6111. My son and I watched 2 NFL games on satellite TV and projector today and I noticed none of the anomolies I had read concerning LCD and DLP projectors. I am very happy so far with the VP6111

Any Problems: None after 5 hours of use.

I was pretty surprised after having read some of the reviews on some websites on this projecor. It was very simple to set up and the quality was fantastic I had few adjustments to make on initial set up. The fan may be a little loud however if you have a decent surround system I have idea why this would be a complaint. I have not experienced the 'rainbow effect' that people speak of. What are the alternatives for the same price? I have no idea. 4 or 5 other friend of mine have gone bought this projector after viewing. No complaints!!!

Any Problems: None!!

It has a component input that is a plus- no extra adapters needed (like infocus)

Any Problems: There is a when using progressive signals. It results in a flicker. This is horrible when used with dig cable. HP knows of the problem and says it is a conflict w/ some processors. Interlaced is OK.

This is a good projector. Purchased mainly for HDTV but used to project PC also. Picture is crisp and bright. Will scan up to 1280X1024 resolution on PC.
