Projectors / AV Equipment - Product Reviews

GustavoA - (December 04, 2004) There is a wide consensus around the internet that with this projector you get the most bang for the buck. General I use this projector in a coffe table and project a 80 to 120 inch (diagonal) image (depending on my mood) on a plain white wall (no special screen). Let me say that the quality of the image straight out of the box is great. I expected a low quality of image from a DVD player (not progressive scan) using S-Video connection, but let me say that the built-in de-interlacer does a great job, and I don't see any artifacts with DVDs. However, with S-Video you do not use all the resolution of the projector (I'm not 100% sure about this). So the best solution by far is

whatzcool - (July 20, 2004) Note that there is no RCA-component input in the PB6100. As projector central recommends, get a cable that will route the RCA-component output (RGB) of your progressive scan DVD player to the 15-pin VGA input of your projector (~ 10 - 20$ on benqshopper or pricegrabber). With this cable, picture quality, brightness and contrast are unbelievably good. This is a great buy. Don't waste money on those expensive LCD and PLASMA TVs when you can get the same effects with the PB6100 at no more than 1/3rd the price.

daveglick - (August 29, 2004) I installed this projector on a 106" Da-Lite High Contrast Cinema Vision. The image with HD content is absolutley stunning. DVD's look good. Digital TV is tolerable and analog TV is not to be watched, of course. The HD picture leaves everyone speakless. As the price comes down is will the the standard. If you need one now you should be able to find one for just a little over $6,000.00 Happy viewing.

prs162 - (01/28/2012) I have had two of these projectors for show we do on location. They have taken a lot of abuse, extreme temperature changes and conditions over the past 4 years of use. The bulbs have held up amazingly and I am very happy with these projectors. Even when we are doing shows at venues that have very expensive projectors I still use my InFocus IN24 because it is better color and contrast and easy to adjust than any other projector that these venues have that are more designed for high contrast presentations rather than images and photos.

501 - (03/14/2011) We operate 48 NEC VTs that were purchased prior to obtaining 40 InFocus (which we have termed "InFecus") projectors. None of the NEC projectors have given us any problems. The newer InFocus projectors have an unacceptably high failure rate especially when mounted upside down.
