InFocus Play Big IN83 Projector Specifications InFocus IN83 Projector: SharpnessThe IN83 is another really sharp projector. It is definitely sharper than the Epson Home and Pro Cinema 1080 UB projectors, as well as the Sony and JVC LCoS projectors. While a sharper under $10K projector may exist, the differences would be too slight to have any impact on a buyer’s decision making. I think the monitor image below is one of the best possible examples of sharpness, as it is just the type of thing you see in many movies, very small type in a “real” setting. The difference between projectors may actually let you read some items that softer projectors just can’t resolve. More likely, though, you’ll just have that feeling of a sharper, crisper image. Bottom Line Sharpness: First class! If I gave out letter grades it would be an A (bordering on A+?)
