InFocus 1080p Play Big goes budget

Philip Wong | Jun 26, 2008

Hands up if you can still remember the good old InFocus X1 which wowed home theater enthusiasts with a combination of brilliant pictures, excellent connectivity and affordability? After making three attempts on high-end 1080p DLP light cannons, the American company is finally trying another pot shot at this proven formula via the inexpensive US$2,200 X10.

For its featherweight pricing, you will have to settle with a lower-end Texas Instruments DLP DarkChip1 engine which puts out a respectable 7,500:1 dynamic contrast. Having said that, this has the same rounded shiny shell adorned by its full-HD siblings and value-added professional ISF calibration option (ISF 3C).

As a matter of fact, you're not missing out much in terms of video inputs, either. The X10 is equally versatile when it comes to video input handling, thanks to its 1080p24-ready HDMI 1.3 terminal and component-video sockets. InFocus will even throw in a 2m-long HDMI cable to get you up to speed should you table-mount the beamer.

The X10 is now available in Singapore for S$3,599 (US$2,607.97).
