From "high end" to "bargain basement"
EXCELLENT IMAGE FOR LITTLE MONEY!
I bought the Infocus X2 to replace a worn out and broken $15,000.00 "high end" CRT projector. My budget would not allow for a more appropriate replacement. While the X2 could never satisfy the true videophile, who usually spend anywhere from $10,000 to $30,000 dollars on a projector, it was never intended to.
That being said, I will say that the Infocus X2 when being shown on my Stewart 100" screen is projecting an impressive image th...

Perfect for HD Sports, but Rainbow Effect Hurts Movies
If you only want to use this projector to watch sports in HDTV, then I suspect you will be quite satisfied. In a dark room with HDTV it can be truly breathtaking!
Keep in mind that you will not get a good picture until you have eliminated almost all surrounding light. But, the "rainbow effect" makes watching movies almost painful. Whenever the movie has a bright light mixed with a dark background you will not see a white light, but a fast-moving rainbow. I have not seen this when ...

Good product, forget about service
Good product, forget about service. I e-mailed InFocus about my faulty projector 8th January 2005
it is now 7th January 2006 and I still do not have my projector. That's right, it's been ONE YEAR since
my projector stopped working, I have given up on it being repaired (it was under warranty) and am now
struggling to get it back so that I can repair it out of my own pocket. Check this company's record at
the Better Business Bureau, it is deemed to be unsatisfactory due to una...

Hi Def TV, Cable, DVD's and X-box all look Fantastic!
Bottom line - best major purchase I have made since I bought a home with a finished basement!
I got the projector and mounted it on the ceiling in my basement projecting on a light-brown wall. I expected that I would need to paint the walls white, or get a screen, but was shocked by the amazing picture quality. Here are the details:
1) Comcast Cable with HiDef Box. Hidef program is so amazing it makes me want to cry. Sports programing blows the mind away. I even enjoy watch...

Rainbow Effect A Deal Breaker
I did a lot of homework before buying this product (my first projector). If you've done the same, you'll know this is a great projector for home theatre use - with all the right features and a lot of bang for the buck. This is all true.
I sampled projectors with better/higher features and saw nothing worth twice the price. There is no doubt (unless money truly is NO OBJECT) that this is the projector to choose for home theatre.
ALL THAT BEING SAID, and having read and ...

Agree with the Rainbow Effect Comment
I read the comment about the "rainbow effect", and decided to by the projector anyway, because it seemed like such a good deal, and I never noticed this artifact on any other projector. It definately has a beautiful picture, and makes watching movies a lot of fun, but about every twenty minutes when I blink or move my eyes there is a bright white imagine on the screen I notice a flashing stripe of red, blue and green on the borders of the white part of the image. It doesn't ruin the movie, but...

DON'T BUY INFOCUS!!!!!! 1 STAR MINUS!!
I have to rate this product and this company as horrible!!
I purchased the X2 in 12/2004. Everything was fine. In 6/2005, the lamp blew. Less than 300 hours on it!!! I called the company. They said sometimes it happens. I questioned the projector. They said I just needed a new lamp. $300.00 later.....oh, you can only get the lamps from them. You can only get service on the X2 from them.
I get the new lamp. It just blew again-about 700 hours-half of what the life should be. ...

all good except can't connect to laptop
Very good image quality from DVD player, lots of good functions.
But can't connect to my laptop. Though I tried to use (VGA to DVI to M1) adapter and cables, eventually failed.
So, returned it.
As my laptop does not have DVI port. I did not test whether DVI to M1 can get it work.
The S-video connection from laptop to projector works, but terrible image quality.

This is a great projector as long as you only use progressiv
The de-interlacer chip is unneaded as long as you use all progressive sources.
In fact when you input HDTV it uses the same scaler as the X1 and H30 projectors.
The image quality is great. Just dont try and watch TV on it, you'll claw your eyes out.
I can't push that enough, the projector is awesome, as long as you use NO interlaced sources.
