Infocus X10 Full HD Projector

First a note on the software menu of the X10. It is very expansive, and has quite a lot of stuff to tweak and help calibrate, like gamma presets, color spaces, color gamut and flesh tone settings, BrilliantColor’s own software section etc. This product can be completely calibrated by a professional.

On to the performance, we initially had our test discs and software running our test patterns. Besides test disc, we also had Tropic Thunder 1080p and in SD we had I am legend DVD. In the realm of blacks, I must say we were thoroughly impressed, as our moving black bar pattern, 256 grayscale pattern, and all black and white level tests were smoothly passed. NO clipping or blooming in high whites, and the blacks were so deep that it merged in with dark walls around us. This projector has a variable iris setting, which means you can close it in to adjust brightness, (make it lesser) thus dynamically increasing contrast. We played around with this and got a very natural looking vibrant image. The grayscale was more or less very close to D65( 6500K) for all shades of black to white, which in simple terms means there was no excess saturation thus making the blacks, grays and whites quite neutral and accurate.

Even in color representation, this fact holds true, there was accuracy in the hues. No excess cartoony greens or bright reds. Skin tones looked really natural. So far so good. Next we check for detail and motion, a realm where minute, zoomed in stuff on 1080 and lesser resolution is watched. For this we ran the movies and also some tests we have which comprise single pixel vertical and horizontal lines, blinking, moving about and changing color. There too the projector scores high, as in it was not perfect, though there was very little noise, dot crawl etc. Anyways DLP chips are known to have a smoother movie like appearance.

Conclusion
In conclusion I must say that the projector really performed very well, and does full justice to the very sharp, well detailed image that only true Full HD sources can deliver. The colors are so natural and real looking, plus the projector is damn bright, there is no doubt about that. It costs Rs. 1,75,000 which is actually quite reasonable as you are getting a very large full HD screen, with picture quality no LCD TV can even touch. It is distributed by MIRC electronics( the Onida guys).
