InFocus Screenplay DLP Front Projector – SP4805 better quality than my hd plasma and alot bigger – Amanda Zophin – milf
I was lucky enough to get this projector from a friend for 200 and can honestly say its the best purchase I ever made. I have it hooked up in my living room on a 10ft by 6ft screen. Even though I set the seats only 10ft from the screen the picture is amazing. It looks as good as the 70 inch plasma thats in my bedroom. I havent had any problems adjusting the picture at all after installing the new free infocus firmware. Truthfully it’s better quality than any theater I’ve been too, excluding Imax. If you have the opportunity to get this at a good price don’t hesitate and you wont be disappointed. The built in speakers are basically useless but if your getting a projector your gonna want surround sound any way, which like everything else with this projector is easy to set up.
What is it?
When my 18 month old son brutally murdered our HD widescreen TV by pounding on it, I sought a home theatre solution that would keep us happy while keeping things out his reach. Enter the Infocus 4805. About the size of a phonebook, this projector is optimized for DVD watching, but also delivers amazingly nice images from HD cable boxes via component cables. It is NOT true HD, but you might be fooled when watching HD sports and movies. It’s that good. The unit is best hung from the ceiling and inexpensive excellent mounts for this popular model are available on that big auction site. While you can use a white wall, you’d do better to get some type of screen. We hung a 100 inch pull down manual screen
Does it work well?
When I got this thing home I slapped it on my coffee table just to “see it work” and threw a 11 foot wide image on a wall via Spiderman 2 from my DVD player. WOW! Unless you’ve been looking at these recently, you’ll be amazed at the quality this unit delivers. Everyone who sees it says its like being in a theatre…and many of my friends are in the film biz! Sitting back 1.5 to 2 times screen width distance you have a true theatrical display in 16X9 format. Other aspect ratios are rendered nicely and it’s really a kick to revisit films like Treasure of Sierra Madre to see Bogart as he should be seen…BIG!
What about regular TV?
It’s viewable, but the unit loses close to half of it’s resolution with the lower quality cable output. We tend to use it for HD shows. HD HBO or even American Idol look amazing.
What will I really spend?
You’ll need the projector, screen, cables, projector mount and maybe some hardware to hide wires and so on. The projector is designed to be used with an external home theatre of some type, but we’ll assume you already own that. Circuit City sold us our for 1100.00 with a 100 dollar rebate. In addition we got a 4 year warranty for 175 that covers the 4000 hour bulb! We spent about 1600.00 setting up our projector with mount and a 100 inch screen. We spent under 300 on a screen and that’s cheap. You can spend a lot more of course.
What are the downsides?
Well, you really need a dark room. This is probably not ideal for casual viewing while you hang out and eat frozen dinners. It works best with a nearly dark room. There is also fan noise: It’s there and easily audible, especially during quiet passages of a soundtrack. Some people build a projector box to cut the sound but I don’t find the computer type fan noise too bothersome. Replacement bulbs, if you didn’t get the warranty, are 329.00. Still, 4000 hours is a LOT of viewing time. In a week of use…watching movies and some HD programs we racked up 25 hours on the bulb which means one bulb should last 3 years and then the warranty gives us a free bulb. No problem there.
Shouldn’t I just get a LCD or Plasma?
I’m not going to tell you that a 1000 dollar projector has a sharper better image than a good Plasma or Wega CRT. But in REAL WORLD applications this unit simply blows away conventionally sized sets. The image simply pops and at 8 or 10 feet (or more) wide, you get an amazing experience. More than one person has said they felt like they were watching a giant plasma. Forget about the details of resolution and contrast ratios…this simply SLAPS any plasma, CRT or LCD set with it’s very good image and truly huge screen. No one has preferred my previous HD widescreen CRT (which was very carefully set-up and tweaked) to the projector. Yes, it’s that good.
Maybe I should buy a better project?
Maybe you should but this unit actually has better contrast levels than some premium models out there. I think this is a perfect unit to buy while we wait a bit on newer technology and the new DVD formats. They’ll be introduced soon, but it may be another year after that before the dust settles. If you are happy with your current system, waiting is rarely a bad idea. If you see a 4805 properly set up you probably won’t wait. Have I seen a projector I liked better? Sure, and it cost over 5K and looked only a bit better with HD signals. Infocus has tweaked the 4805 into a giant killer, though a lot of salesmen will call it an entry level projector.
Is it reliable?
Yep, until it breaks. I hear of a LOT of projectors of all types failing. Get the EXTENDED WARRANTY and you’ll be fine. Or don’t get it and be sorry like some other folks. I’ll never understand people who don’t get extended warranties on this type of item…or laptop computers!
Conclusion:
If you have the space, dark room and love movies this is the only way to fly. You get a system that is quite close to watching a movie in a smallish multiplex theatre. It’s also out of the reach of small children and eliminates that big box of a TV or huge wall mounted plasma. The 4805 theatre system essentially disappears when the screen is retracted. My wife loves it.
Good luck!
