Just purchased the SP4805 and Love It!
After a labor intensive literature search of tech-related website reviews of projectors, we settled on the SP 4805. After reading all the product reviews and comparisons, we narrowed our search down to only InFocus products -- the X1, SP 4800, and 4805. The X1a and X2 do not have the Faroudji processing, therefore eliminating them from our search (the X1a and X2 currently have manufacturers rebates, and without the special processing algorithms, I can see why they're on sale). The SP 4805 is a n...

Excellent machine
We've had this projector for about a month now, having bought it unseen and untried based on high user ratings from another web site. Our viewing location is flooded with ambient light but this machine still throws a very discernable image even on the low-power setting.
With a distance of about 13 feet we get a 90-inch (diagonal) image (7 feet x 4 feet). We project on a panel of sheet rock painted white and have the projector sitting upside down on a board hinged to a wall just bel...

Comparison to BENQ 6200
I only gave it 4 based on the brightness. However, you would have to pay $6000.00+ to get one any brighter with the resolution this projector has.
I purchased and compared this unit with a BenQ PB6200.
The Benq PB6200 has 1700 lumens, is XGA resolution, has a 2x color wheel and is listed at 2000:1 contrast ratio.
The SP4805 of course is 750 Lumens, SVGA, 4x color wheel, and 2200:1 contrast.
Here are my observations:
Using Conventional Cable TV feed. (To a VCR the...

Fantastic!
The picture quality rivals systems that I've seen costing thousands more. I carry the 4805 in a briefcase from my southern cal home to the home in northern cal.
I project onto the screen it came with, however in my norcal home I project right onto a wall the is approx. 12' wide.
The wall is painted off white and has texture, however you can't see it. The picture is still crystal clear.
I am so hooked on the quality and ease of operation of this projec...

Great for Led Zep Movies
The vid quality is great. Yea vid res isn't really high, but for the money you need to spend alot to get high res and get good color and frame rates. There are some projectors that offer higher res for under $2000, but they are typically not suited for movie use. If you going to do buisness presentaitons maybe go with another. If the primary use is for home theater this is the way to go!!!! Although I did get this for buisness use and do presentaitons, it is somewhat weak in that use.

STUNNING!!!
What is it?
When my 18 month old son brutally murdered our HD widescreen TV by pounding on it, I sought a home theatre solution that would keep us happy while keeping things out his reach. Enter the Infocus 4805. About the size of a phonebook, this projector is optimized for DVD watching, but also delivers amazingly nice images from HD cable boxes via component cables. It is NOT true HD, but you might be fooled when watching HD sports and movies. It's that good. The unit is best hung from...

Infocus SP4805 - A real nice Projector
I purchased the infocus 4805 about a month ago and have really enjoyed the projector. I have Dish-network satellite feeding into the projector via S-video inputs, and my Panasonic DVD player into the component video inputs. The projector is mounted to my ceiling 12 feet from the wall projecting an image 6ft.x3.5ft in letterbox mode, and 4ft.x3ft. on standard TV. The remote controle is small and easy to use. One nice feature of the remote control is a lighted display making it easy to see in ...

EDTV not HDTV
First off let me say that this is not an hd projector it is only edtv. HD compatible means it can handle no less than 720p. This projector can handle it but it is not 720p! They need to be more frank with the fact that it is not an HD projector. Other than that for the price and quality it is a great buy. The picture is great but on my Xbox 360 i can see jaggies. Movies look fantastic (best reason to buy) and so does most hd programing. I only gave it 4 stars becuase the HD compatible thing is b...

Good overall, but...
For the money, it's a really good projector. There are many options to enhance picture quality, though I have encountered three distinct problems in the two weeks I have now had it.
First, I find that I'm constantly messing with the focus. Every time you turn the machine on, the focus needs adjustment.
Second, after only two weeks, a piece of dust got inside the inner lens and created a visible spot on screen. InFocus told me I have to ship it back already to have it taken apart and...

Excellent value for your home theater
Five years ago when we bought our house, we never thought we could afford to set up a home theater because a line-doubler projector was costing between $5000 and $10,000... but that changed when good DLP projectors dipped below $1,000. After months of research, I chose the InFocus ScreenPlay SP4805 mainly due to rave reviews and its 4000 hour lamp life (in low power mode, which is the default setting). It's been an exciting experience being able to watch movies, sports and play video games on a ...
