InFocus IN76 Hi-Def Projector

26 Mar, 2007, 12:01 pm IST | Gagan Gupta | Projectors Projectors


The back of the unit contains all the connectivity options, namely HDMI, SCART, composite, S-Video and DVI.

Setting up the unit was a breeze, with minimal hookups required to run the projector. The only problem we had was with the unconventional DVI input jack, particularly because we received the test model without any connectivity cables. Otherwise standard inputs like SCART and HDMI were obviously as simple as could be.

Navigating the menu would take up the biggest chunk of your time when setting up the unit for the first time. Don't worry, it's not as bad as it sounds, thanks to the simple, speedy and highly functional menu system in the unit.

IN76 supports a native resolution of 1280x720 (720p, 16:9), which is good enough for the technology available in the local markets today. It does support 1080i too for those really into higher resolutions, but I wouldn't advise you stepping beyond the native support in any display device.

Performance
The high definition output was absolutely brilliant. With the right configuration, every pixel was clear and crisp as one can imagine. There was a slight blurring of the edges, however, but that didn't seem to affect the overall picture quality. In fact it worked pretty well in reducing film grain from high definition videos, and even in eliminating jagged edges from videogames. PlayStation 3 never looked better!
