InFocus Play Big IN76 DLP Projector
Introduction
In the world of electronics, smaller is almost always better. Chip manufacturers are continually striving to shrink their processors, cell phones are so thin you can barely hold on to them anymore, and portable media devices have gotten so small you could almost mistake some models for your daily multi-vitamin. Despite this trend in the larger world of electronics, there's still at least one BIG exception where bigger still is better and that's in the realm of televisions and monitors. Who doesn't want to be able to boast that they have the biggest screen amongst their friends? If you can relate to that desire, then you might be interested in the product we have for review today because it could help that little dream of yours become a reality. Today we'll be looking at the Play Big IN76 projector from InFocus. InFocus is a huge name in the world of projectors, so I'm sure the company needs no introduction to most of you. The IN76 on the other hand is relatively new, so let's go over some of the basic features of the device so we know what we're dealing with here. The IN76 is a DLP projector with a native wide screen (16:9) resolution of 1280x720, so the preferred video format will be 720p for this projector. The IN76 utilizes the Texas Instruments DLP DarkChip2 display technology with a six-segment (RGBRGB) 4x speed color wheel. InFocus rates the projector at a maximum brightness of 1000 video optimized ANSI lumens, which is a much more realistic brightness rating than what many competitors are quoting with "non-video optimized" ANSI lumens ratings. Finally, the contrast ratio is rated at a very respectable 3000:1, which is good, but by no means the best among the competition in the same price range as this projector. Now that we've gotten some of the specs out of the way and we know what we're dealing with let's take a closer look at the IN76.
