1. Introduction


Released in March, the InFocus IN72 replaced the extremely successful Screenplay 4805, a mainstay in the budget DLP projector market for almost two years, which is a very long time to remain relevant. The IN72 is part of a new InFocus lineup that includes a stylish, sleek exterior re-design compared to their previous models, featuring a swivel table mount. The IN72 offers higher lumen output, lower fan noise, sealed optics and better image quality than the 4805, but has a shortened warranty from two years to one, which is a curious move considering some of the vendor's competitors offer three-year warranties.
Some of the key features of the IN72 include:
Darkchip2 DLP Projector 900 lumens, 720 lumens economy mode 854x480 resolution (480p) 1.2:1 Zoom Lens ratio 2000:1 dynamic contrast ratio 3,000 hour half-life $999 MSRP| At a Glance | |
