InFocus IN78

The InFocus IN78 is a high-performing and sleek multimedia projector with a native 720p wide screen resolution ideally suited for HDTV, HD, DVD, Blu-ray, or even high-definition gaming. It features 1000 video-optimized Lumens for delivering images brighter than even most movie theaters, a 3500:1 contrast ratio that maintains deep blacks and bright whites, and Texas Instruments’ 720p DarkChip3, DLP technology to ensure crisp & clear images with fine detail. In addition, the InFocus IN78 boasts onboard Pixelworks DNX video-processing technology that anticipates motion to drastically improve video quality. Most notable and perhaps useful about the InFocus IN78 projector is its color-coded cables and inputs, making it simple to hook up to HDMI, DVI, component, S-video, composite, and RS232. The InFocus IN78 retails for $1999.99 and comes with a 2 year limited warranty.
