If ever a projector was designed to be seen but not, er, seen then SIM2's massive HT5000 is its embodiment. Clearly, the industrial design that so distinguishes every other projector from this Italian brand has escaped the black and entirely functional carcass that surrounds the HT5000. But as beauty remains in the eye of the beholder, and with this crate out of view, out of mind and tucked well behind the viewing position, it's the vivid and dynamic lustre of the images bursting from the screen that provide the abiding memory of this graceless box.rnAs ever, it's what's in the box that counts: a combination of PixelWorks' video DSP (with custom deinterlacing and scaling software), three of Texas Instruments' finest 1080p DLP chips and custom optics from Minolta. It's a recipe that delivers quite the finest picture quality available from any 'domestic' home cinema projector.
