5.0 out of 5 stars Quite, attractive, BRIGHT, January 18, 2007
By Jamie L. Henderson "IPHY" (Mountain View, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Holy cow this was a great purchase. I use a digital projector in my living room as my "tv". When I went to replace my existing Infocus projector, I considered stepping up to the IN76. After all, the IN72 is just the current version of the model I already had, right? Well, ok, technically, that is true. But, wow is there a difference.

This model has really wonderful brightness and color. The difference between it and earlier models is truly striking. Since light pollution from the surrounding environment (windows, etc.) has been my only real complaint with digital projectors, the added brightness of this model has really made me fall in love with them all over again.

Additionally, the fans are so quiet that I did not even build a hush box for it. I couldn't find any fans that were more quiet.

4.0 out of 5 stars better than i expected, May 14, 2007
By L. Pham (Southern California) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I chose the IN72 partially because it was the only projector InFocus recommended on its website for gaming. The picture quality was really good and the projector was quite bright. Even though is doesn't project at HD standards, using the HDMI input is supposed to improve the image (I haven't tried it yet). I would recommend it for movie watching and gaming even though it's not HD. I am more than satisfied with this purchase especially because of how cheap it was. If you buy this from amazon, you should go to the tigerdirect website to print out the $200 rebate offer which is available until June. My purchase ended up being 450 plus shipping and handling.

2.0 out of 5 stars Great while it lasted, May 29, 2008
By Daniel Larson (Denver, Colorado) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I really enjoyed this project while it lasted. The image quality was phenominal and was viewable even in daylight. We built a home theater around this projector and had many great movie nights that provided an experience rivaling big movie theaters. However, after about 15 months of use and with nearly 1000 hours left on the bulb, the projector died suddenly, smoke pouring out of the unit. Please be warned that in my research, I've discovered this is a common experience. For many, the culprit is an underpowered fuse. For me, it was a capacitor that burned up on the mainboard. I called customer support only to find out like many that Infocus has a fixed fee of $475 to fix the projector. They don't even guarantee it will be fixed for that amount and state the repair costs could be as high as $1,000! They will not work with you. From my experience, they only provide minimal customer service and do not acknowledge these are common problems. For many, it seems to be related to using the projector in a ceiling mounted position. My experiences with InFocus will discourage my purchase of their products in the future.
