InFocus X6 has been at the top of Amazon’s best selling projector list most likely reflecting its low price and value for money. It has had excellent hands-on reviews from customers. While the resolution is native SVGA (800 x 600 pixels) which is commonly associated with business or the classroom, it seems that it is being purchased for home theatre as well (720p1080i compatible). At 4.5 lbs (2.0 kg) the projector is certainly portable enough for business use. For the business presenter, the projector ships with a wireless remote control.

The X6 is nice and bright at 2000 ANSI lumens and able to handle bright ambient light levels as would be required for a business meeting. The contrast ratio is an important factor in producing a quality image and for the InFocus X6 is satisfactorily high at 2000:1.

The InFocus IN1 DLP Gaming Projector delivers the feeling of immersion that all gamers desire when playing their favorite game. A projector and a home theater sound system are one way to achieve it but, it’s too costly an option for many. Recognizing a market need, InFocus have produced the Play Big IN1 Gaming projector. The IN1 is an all-in-one solution delivering projection, audio, connectivity and portability for the gaming enthusiast. The projector comes with all the connectivity options required for the latest gaming consoles (Playstation, Wii and X-Box) and entertainment devices (DVD player or cable box).

Projection

The Infocus IN1 projection engine is based on DLP technology from Texas instruments. The IN1 has a VGA (640 x 480 pixels) native resolution. To avoid scaling lag it’s best to match the resolution of your PC or game console to it or use an up-converter. The contrast ratio is a respectable 1500:1 – especially although it is for Full On/Full Off testing which delivers higher contrast ratio figures. With a brightness of 500 ANSI lumens (max), a low ambient light environment is required for a bright on-screen projected image.

The InFocus IN12 Work Big at 3.9 lbs (1.77 kg) light with notebook style slimness of 1.7 in (4.32 cm) can be considered an ultra portable projector.

An impressive form factor and weight have not eaten into the performance of the InFocus IN12. With a brightness of 2,000 ANSI lumens and a 1800:1 contrast ratio the projector will comfortably produce an acceptably bright image in even high ambient light conditions. The XGA resolution matches what the market expect for resolution for a business application projector.

The InFocus IN82 Play Big was InFocus’s first Full-HD 1080p (1920×1080 pixels) DLP home theater projector. The DLP chip driving the projection engine is the latest and most advanced DarkChip3 by Texas Instruments. The IN82 has an excellent native contrast ratio of 4000:1 which can extend to 12000:1 through the in-built iris technology.

The single chip DLP projection engine has a high end 7-segment color wheel to reduce the possibility of any rainbow effects.

Installers will appreciate the InFocus Color Gamut Calibrator and ISF Day & Night presets which will allow them to “lock in” optimized calibration settings for consumers.

The Infocus IN32 is a business projector capable of producing large images in high ambient light conditions and varying space limitations such as meeting and conference rooms.

Infocus IN32 Specification Highlights

The Infocus L10 is a DLP projector utilizing a Texas Instruments 0.7″ XGA DMD DDR. At 5 lbs (2.27 kg) the projector could be considered portable but, probably between office locations on the same floor rather than as an on-the-road unit. The Infocus IN32 can be permanently ceiling mounted if required. The XGA (1024 x 768) resolution is well matched to business applications as is the contrast ratio of 1000:1. With a maximum brightness of 2,000 ANSI lumens the IN32 can be used in bright ambient light conditions.

There is some flexibility available for setting up the LP70+ with a 1.25:1 manual zoom and
+/- 15° Vertical Keystone correction (no horizontal or lens shift). Access to common functions is available with an integrated keypad. (read more..)

The InFocus IN24+ and InFocus IN26+ come from Infocus’s range of business projectors. The projectors are based on Texas Instrument’s DLP technology. Resolution is the only difference between the two models with the IN24+ having an SVGA (800 x 600 pixels) native resolution and the IN26+ XGA (1024 x 768 pixels). They are best suited to business presentations with the display of PC applications such as PowerPoint. The projectors are compatible with 640 x 480, 800 x 600 and 1024 x 768 resolution sources. With a brightness of 2,200 ANSI lumens it has the brightness to project a large clear image in meeting rooms even when overhead lights are on.

Contrast Ratio

The IN24+ and IN26+ have a 2000:1 contrast ratio determined by the less conservative full On/ full Off test which delivers higher test results than the standard ANSI test. However, the figure is high enough to expect the projectors could be used in well illuminated environments. (read more..)

The InFocus IN72 Play Big has the same eye catching, futuristic, black and silver, highly curved body as it’s higher specification family member the IN76 which won the European Projector of the Year 2006-2007 awarded by the European Imaging & Sound Association (EISA). It only “under the hood” that the differences become obvious.

The IN72 has a native 480p (854×480) high definition output with other formats being scaled to fit the native resolution. In comparison, two other projectors in the Play Big range the IN74EX and the IN76 have resolutions of (1024×576) and the IN76 (1280×720) respectively.

An interesting feature of the IN72 is the swivel and tilt pedestal. Functionally the base is far easier to use for setup than multiple extendible support legs. The pedestal can be removed if the unit is to be ceiling mounted. Lens shift is not included so digital keystone correction needs to be used to correct any projected image distortion. (read more..)
