InFocus Demo X1 Data/video Projector Direct Ship Only Review

by Richard Jantz

SVGA model produces better-than-average text and good DVD video but unimpressive graphics.

In our performance testing, the $1699 SVGA-resolution InFocus X1 couldn't measure up to the higher-resolution XGA units we examined for our April 2003 projector roundup. It earned the lowest scores for graphics and motion display, but its text scores were slightly higher than those of the other SVGA units. The X1 fared noticeably better when displaying a movie directly from a DVD player--something we didn't see from the other projectors--thanks to its ability to adjust its settings for a video source automatically. Projector setup and menu operation are painless; and the remote is well-designed, though it lacks a laser pointer.

UPSHOT: For presentations, the InFocus X1 works best with SVGA-resolution notebooks, but its strong video quality and bargain-basement price make it a good fit for home use.
