InFocus X1 Video Projector Reviews
That said, image quality is quite good, especially HD. until that noise kicks in. I would say, if you buy an Infocus projector, get the X2 since this is not manufactured anymore. We are deciding whether or not to pay $350 for it to be fixed by our local service dealer or to buy a new HDTV. Like others have posted, it's an excellent projector. When it was working, it "Wow"'d anyone who saw it and was an awesome addition to the home theater. I've owned this projector for about 2 years now and I keep it in the family room where it is used daily. For computers, it only goes up to 1024x768.
I thought. Who knows. I was impressed. I don't think Infocus will fix it right anyways so I guess I'll be shopping for a new projector next week and it sure won't be an Infocus this time. So I went ahead and bought it, Jan.
Fool me once shame on you, full me twice shame on me. Base on what I've been reading lately it seems like more and more people are coming out with the same problem. The best deal I made. Then the noise came, a horrible grinding noise coming from the unit started right after the warranty expired.
Coincidence. I wrote to Infocus but they want $259.00 without even seeing the unit. Right price, amazing picture quality and great reviews. First bulb lasted 2000 hrs (not bad I thought), picture was great.
2004 ($999). I did my homework before buying the projector and the x1 came up on top of the list. The noise is now so loud and annoying (table-saw cutting wood) I had to stop using the projector. Thanks Infocus, I'm now the proud owner of a $1000 dead bat hanging on my ceiling.
Needless to say, we are now in the market for a new projector and its not likely to be an Infocus model. A few months after the noise started the globe exploded. The noise was created by a problem with the fan that cools the colour wheel. (more than the cost of the projector). For the price, you couldn't complain - we watched TV as well as movies and loved it so much that we recommended it to a friend who purchased one.
About 3 weeks before the 2 year warranty expired it started getting noisy, but the problem would come and go so (regetably) we didn't act on it straight away. The fan itself is probably a $20 part, but the bad design of the projector meant that you couldn't just replace the fan, but had to replace the whole colour-wheel assembly - at a cost of $1000 for the part. As it got worse we contacted Infocus who refused to do anything about it because the warranty period had expired. After a lot of research we bought an X1 in July 2003 for home theatre use.
By the way, firmware for the Infocus 4800 can be downloaded onto the X1 for greater availability to adjust the picture (dont send in your projector with the different firmware though or they will void the warranty). SD cable will look good, but it is definitely worth it to kick down a couple bucks to get HDTV. The faroujda processor is used through the S-video and composite connections and makes even the most modest DVD player look amazing. Don't waste your money buying a more expense projector, unless you are an absolute perfectionist you wont notice the difference.
what a picture Anyone who is considering buying a projector but doesnt want to spend their life savings should definitely look into the X1. WOW.
for an SVGA player, this machine is absolutely amazing.
I'm planning to get this projector but I found out Infocus repackaged this x1 for the consumer market called the "Screenplay 4805", it's basically the x1 with newly added upgrade extra features. -DJ The best place you can get is not online but at Costco for only $1300 with a FREE 72" screen included.what a steal.where can u get a projector with a free screen.wow.
