 oldorchardchurch.org loves it so far July 15, 2006

So far this has been a good buy. I am Mark Tucker, the assistant pastor at Old Orchard Church in St. Louis, MO. This DP was a great find because it does exactly what we need it too. We don't need the extreme high definition images, but we want something that looks good and enlarges well. It does get a bit hot after 2 hours of straight use, but I am not sure that this is a problem. The price point was excellent for us as a small church, especially since I got it as an Open Box discount. I love the options and the keystone feature.

I purchased this projector to watch movies at home and have not been pleased with its performance. Our DVD inventory includes both 4x3 and 16x9 formats. As this is a dedicated 3x4 projector, DVDs that are 16x9 will have black bars at the top and bottom of the screen. If you have a dedicated 16x9 screen, like I have, this will not work if you like a clean image at the edge of the screen. If I mount the projector to fill the screen, then the 4x3 DVD image is projected above and below the screen. Perhaps I don't have it setup correctly, but that was the best I could do. Specs say this projector has component video inputs, which it does. However, they are part of the monitor input jack and you have to spend another $20.00 for an adapter to connect to them. Our family room is 12 X 23 and the fan is too loud when you have the bulb in high setting - you do get a great picture, though. We could barely hear the fan in low setting but the room has to be VERY dark to get a decent picture. Projector comes with a CD that has the manual and a neat screen size calculator that figures the distance from the screen the projector should be located.
Great price....Great unit........ October 12, 2006

I've owned an Infocus X1 for 3 or 4 years now. Besides the color wheel noise that happened last year, it was always a great projector. Infocus repaired the unit under warranty and even upgraded my firmware so I had more features. Recently I decided that I'd like to buy something new since the extended warranty period was up on the X1.
Let me tell you, this IN24 is mind numbingly better than the X1 and the price is outrageously low for such a unit. The fan is a lot quieter in comparison and the images are a bit brighter. Overall, I'm happy with this unit. I really like the housing on this projector. Although it's still plastic, it seems a lot more sturdy.
I just wish they would add horizontal and vertical image editing for the video 1 input.
Not a Home Theater projector, but can be used as such. March 13, 2007

First, for home theater use, I would give this projector 4 stars. I gave it 5 as this is a business projector, and should not be penalized for not having home theater features.
I am very happy with this item. Out of the box, the colors were a mess. This, again, may be because it is not calibrated as a home theater projector. I highly suggest using the Avia video calibration DVD (with color filters to look through). It took me 5 minutes, and the colors are more natural than any of my CRT tvs!
In high power mode, I can watch TV shows during the day with my blinds closed. Movies are a bit hard to watch. Once the sun is no longer on that size of my house, it works great. At night, I can watch a movie in low power mode (and the fan is very quiet), but I prefer the regular mode as colors look more vibrant with that extra boost. I sit with my head about 6 inches from the projector, so I can hear the fan, but it isn't noticable with sound system speakers at a decent volume.
As stated in a prior review, the image is 4:3. If you don't have a 4:3 screen, 4:3 images wont fit. Not the projector's fault.
My biggest concern is the connections, which again is due to this not actually being a home theater projector. For the best image, you need to use a component connection. As stated in a prior review, an adapter must be purchases seperatly to connect component through the VGA port. This was not specified on the spec sheet where I bought this item, and the box itself has NO info about the specs.
One other thing to note...I have read that the color wheels on business projectors are different than on home theater projectors. I am not familiar enough with this to comment, but this is something prospective buyers may want to look into.
Overall, I am very happy with this item. 5/5 as an overall product, 4/5 as a home theater projector.
Works well in the classroom. January 11, 2007

If you are a teacher and need to project the material you are teaching up on a screen, the InFocus IN24 DLP Projector is a cost effective way of doing it. The controlls are easy, the picture is good, the machine is quiet, and it is reasonably compact. One thing that I wish it came with was a carrying case. If you want one it will cost you extra.
