Infocus IN1 Home Theater Projector TV at 83"

This is my new Infocus IN1 DLP projector. I have it hooked up to my VCR for watching TV. It was refurbished and only cost $239 with free shipping! I got it from EBAY. I cant believe how nice it looks for how cheap it was. I heard the replacement lamps for it are only $99 so thats really good too.

@rockey90 Wow is a vcr or cable box really nécessary??

[rockey90]

@MALIRIPPA Yeah there is really no way to hook it up to a tv unless it has a video out which most dont.

[MALIRIPPA]

so how did you change channel and hook it up to ur tv?

[rockey90]

@MALIRIPPA You have to have some kind of a tuner to hook it up to (like a cable box or vcr). I was using a vcr in this video. Then you Just use the cable box or vcr's remote to change channels just like you would on a tv.

what about bulbs about how much a year do you spend on those im interested buying a projector the only thing is the bulbs also how often do you use the projector

[rockey90]

@epothos1 Infocus is coming out with a very nice projector which is better than this one for very cheap. If you dont have a whole lot of money to spend on a projector (like me) this might be the best one for you to get. It is called the infocus IN112. It is much brighter than my projector and the bulb lasts 5,000 or 6,000 hours compared to mine which lasts only 1,000. It also has a better contrast ratio and resolution than mine. It only costs $339. They didnt say how much $ bulbs are yet though.

@rocky90 Thanks

[rockey90]

@epothos1 Bulbs are usually very expensive (like $300, $400, $500 and sometimes even much more) but with this projector they retail for only $99.99. They have a life expectancy of 1000 hours. The only problem is infocus stopped making the bulbs so when mine goes out the projector becomes a paperweight. For that reason I use it 5 times a year max. I use it for special events like the superbowl and New Years. I also show movies outside on the end of our house which is atleast a 200 inch screen!

@rockey90

Gotcha. I still think $200 for standard def is a little steep. Personally, our family has been looking to replace our 25+ Year old CRT set. The screen is starting to yellow in spots and doesn't always display colors correctly. Since we're on a tight budget, we've been shopping for a rear projection set. You can get a decent hd one for 150-200 dollars on a good day on Craiglist if you live in the right spot (many of them are just out of our traveling distance).

Good luck. ☺

@2BunnyReturns I didn't expect it to be HD quality. I bought it because I am on a limited budget and its all i could afford. In my opinion its a really good projector for the price of $200 that i paid for it. I even had it up over 100 inches and it still looks good. If it wasn't for this projector I wouldn't have one at all because I couldn't afford it.
