5.0 out of 5 stars In Focus X3 Projector, May 14, 2007

This review is from: InFocus X3 DLP Video Projector (Office Product)

This projector met my expectations. For the price it was the best deal. I have a large living room but do to the shape and layout a 56 to 60 inch TV would hinder the movement in and out of the room because it would stick out 2 feet. By using this projector I not only keep the 2 feet but I can also move this unit at any time with very little effort. It also can project much wider than 60' and there are no bad seats in the room. I have had no problems with it as of yet, and do not forsee any problems in the future.

1.0 out of 5 stars WARNING: Very fragile mirror tunnel behind the color wheel...., July 11, 2008

Yankee "furniture builder" (MD USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: InFocus X3 DLP Video Projector (Office Product)

This line of projectors seem to have a fundamental design flaw that needs to be addressed in a recall by InFocus. There is a very small mirror tunnel behind the color wheel (looks like a long prism) that often fails as it is very fragile. This tunnel concentrates and channels the light to the DLP chip and if it collapses it can cause a dark (not black) band to appear at the left/right 1/10 portion of the screen. This band gets wider with time.

The reason is that the glue connecting the four rectangular mirrors of the mirror tunnel peel from the heat; in my projector, one of the mirrors had slipped and fallen in.

Otherwise a fine projector! If only inFocus would replace these defective mirror tunnels!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Projector, January 9, 2007

This review is from: InFocus X3 DLP Video Projector (Office Product)

I use it in school and it does a great job.
It is very bright and lights do not have to be turned off to see it, plus it is very easy to connect to the PC, speaers, or Video projector. I like the fact you do not need a PC to use the unit.
I connected my PC and DVD both worked fine.

I did have a small problem and tech support was excellent


2 disappointing things
1. You must use the remote (IR) to turn the lamp off
If you do not use the remote to turn off the projector
the projector does not go through a cool down mode which
will affect the life of the lamp.

2. DLP is the newest technology but the colors are not as good
and accurate as LCD projectors
