Low-cost and ultra-short throw InFocus beamers

Philip Wong | May 21, 2008

Hot off the press are InFocus' new IN2100-series entry multimedia projectors and its pilot ultra-short throw XS1. The former combines round-the-clock reliability via a dust-free, fan filter-less design and optional advanced wireless audio-visual connectivity. Available in three different models from native SVGA to WXGA (1,280 x 800-pixel) resolutions, they all offer competent 2,500 ANSI lumens brightness, dual PC inputs and Texas Instruments Brilliant Color technology.

On the other hand, the XS1 is capable of projecting a huge 67-inch projection comfortably from just a mere 0.9m throw distance. This gives the 2,200 lumens light cannon a distinct screen size advantage in confined spaces and hassle-free integration with interactive whiteboards. Interestingly, it also bears cunning resemblance to the recently launched BenQ MP771 sans some cosmetic and hard specs variation. That said, the XS1 is still comparatively more affordable.

The InFocus Work Big IN2102, IN2104, IN2106 and XS1 are now available in Singapore for S$1,099 (US$808.09), S$1,599 (US$1,175.74), S$2,099 (US$1,543.38) and S$2,499 (US$1,837.50), respectively. Launch details for the rest of Asia are not available at present.
