Any Experience with InFocus Projectors

[Andrew 737]

Hi Guys

As the title suggests, does anyone have any experience with or know about the INfocus IN126ST projector?

Any feedback greatly appreciated

Looks like good value for money.
Similar specs to other WXGA short throws commonly used
in Sims.

InFocus is a reputable company and has been around many years........

Just a few thoughts for you:

How much do replacement bulbs cost and how long has it been on the market (release date), as well as the warranty/service period? One of the biggest things about any projector(s) is replacement bulbs because they do cost a lot, and you need to know the operational hours based on Full Power versus Econ Modes. Then, there is the shelf life of any model of a projector. You can tell that real easy by just searching for the particular model and looking at current prices versus how often you see used ones. If you see a lot of the model in question for sale used, that says a whole bunch.

The biggest question is how does the company handle warranties and service? Will they just send you a replacement overnight, with them paying all cost, without question. Or, do you have to speak with 10 people from 3 countries and wait a week for an email to "hopefully" get sent to you that has instructions on how to call the same 10 people now in 4 countries to get a return order...assuming they give you one...normally, I'd say I'm just kidding, but I am not. Maybe, that is a little more then the truth, but people do get treatment something like this from some companies.

Finally, I have an older InFocus that I use for my home theater; it is hanging from the living room ceiling, and that thing has lasted for nearly 10 years already on the same bulb. Although, I don't use it very often, it has never had a hiccup...

Hi Guys

Sincere thanks to you all - comments greatly appreciated

John:

I will ask some questions to the UK supplier - thanks again

79.73 pounds according to the above site. That seems very reasonable compared to some of them that cost twice that.

Looks like you are on a winner there, Andrew,

Maybe, I've just reinstalled Orbx UK with all the service packs (on 5 pc's!). Looking like they've improved it a lot. Wales and Scotand really nice too. Downloaded the free Netherlands scenery also, it's a must have when flying in to EHAM regulary.


Catch up over weekend mate.
