InFocus IN114 DLP Projector - Review Summary

InFocus IN114 Projector: Bottom Line

Overall the InFocus IN114 has proven to be a strong performer with improved image quality compared to past models. With a resolution of 1024x768, it is not a native wide screen projector but it is capable of projecting a 16:9 image without a lot loss in image quality. The 2700 lumen output rating by the manufacturer was right in line with what the projector measured during the brightness tests. A lot of projectors are about 30 percent less bright than the manufacturer rating, but the IN114 came in at 2672, so that was impressive.

The InFocus IN114 has a estimated lamp life of 6000 hours, but keep in mind this is if you are using ECO mode and not if you are projecting at the projectors brightest settings. Still, even if you present in ECO mode, the projector performs well and it would be recommended to use ECO mode considering you will have more than enough brightness for even the most demanding environments.

For the educators, you will enjoy the projectors capabilities in terms of being able to grow with the changes in technology. The projector is 3D ready, so 3D content from your PC can easily be displayed and viewed with optional 3D glasses. When you combine the projectors brightness of 2700 lumens and its contrast ratio of 4000:1, 3D content will really pop.
