[anfi43]

Il sont vraiment superbes ces nouveaux venus...

Mais une fois de plus, aucune indication sur le bruit de la ventilation ... Visiblement chez Infocus c'est pas une priorité

Si moins de 28 DB (j'ose espérer, mais j'en doute...) - dans quelques temps j'aurais un 5700 à vendre !

Bonjour,

les prix semblent fixés en Europe, ou tout au moins en Allemagne :

http://www.areadvd.de/news/2006/200601/04012006003_Infocus.shtml

2000 € pas mal, non ?

[Thebe]

Bonjour à nouveau,

les prix sont mêmes confirmés en Français :

Quand je pense qu'il y a peu, voir un DLP en 720 en dessous de 4 K€ relevait de l'exploit

[allucinéma]

Il faut voir comment ils marchent, mais ils ont déjà au moins l'avantage de l'élégance : ça claque le laqué noir

Optoma & InFocus Intro Lower-Cost 720p Projectors


Posted by Ramon G. McLeod
Friday, January 06, 2006, 11:15 PM (PST)


Optoma and InFocus, companies that arguably have had the two biggest hits in the entry-level home theatre projector market over the last two years, are going at again, this time with lower-cost 720p, true HDTV resolution projectors.

InFocus's high-res candidate, the Play Big IN76, comes out in February, and should list for about $3,000, a very competitive price for a 720p resolution HT projector. It is supposed to be available in February.





The IN76 uses Pixelworks’ DNX video-processing technology and the 720p DarkChip2 DLP from Texas Instruments, boasts 1000 lumens brightness and a 3000:1 contrast ratio. The new projector has a six-segment color wheel and has a DVI/HDMI connection along with all the usual other video inputs.

Optoma's answer is the HD72 home theater projector, which will also ship in February, but is expected to cost under $2000. It too features the Texas Instruments DarkChip2 chipset, has a 7-segment color wheel, and HDMI connectivity, along with the usual video inputs.



It will be interesting to see how these two products do against each other in the market, given the incredible successes of their entry level products over the last year, especially with the HT projector market expected to boom this year.

I started Day 2 in search of InFocus and the new IN76... the catalog showed InFocus over at the Sands so away I went. Unfortunately the booth contained a sign saying that InFocus was located over in the Main Convention Center... DOH! Somehow I missed it yesterday, but managed to get there after a snail-paced bus ride. The IN72 was being shown in a small room with a black curtain only partially drawn to secure the room. The show floor faced the screen so it was not a perfect venue, but compared to others it was marvelous… and you could shut the curtain if there were not too many people trying to peer in. The IN72 looks terrific, given that it is a 480p projector. I never had much time to spend with the Optoma H31 when it morphed from the H30. The difference between the two was the use of the DarkChip 2 from TI and you can tell a difference. The colors seem more saturated and pleasing. However there was a price to be paid with the H31 and it is still visible on the new IN72, and that is SDE. You have to have a room where you can set up your seating at least 2.0x from the screen to get the SDE to an acceptable level. Apparently the DarkChip technology also darkens the inter-pixel gap in addition to whatever else is going on, which makes the SDE more apparent than on the earlier chip. So there are benefits, but tradeoff’s to get them. The picture was quite bright and InFocus reports the IN72 at 900 lumens (150 more than the 4805), 2000:1 Contrast, 6 segment 4x color wheel, and a 3000 hour lamp. For those of you unfamiliar with InFocus products the company has historically been much more accurate in it’s reporting of lumens than have many others. Quite often the number IF reports are the projector’s “calibrated” lumen number. It will be available in February for $1,299.
IF also has a new IN74ex model (576p native) that will be available in March at an MSRP of $1,999, but was not being demonstrated.
The IN76 will also make its debut in March at an MSRP of $2,999 which is $500 higher than many of the rumors that were running around AVS (wishful thinking I guess). All of the new projectors are in sleek black cases and produce much less noise than their previous counterparts. Exactly how little noise I could not tell as the units on display were all Beta units and there was too much ambient noise from the show to judge how they would sound in a HT environment. The IN76 is using the Pixelworks processing chip which is a departure from the Faroudja processing used in the previous generation. The IN76 is also reported as using a 6 segment 4x color wheel, with 1000 lumens and a 3000:1 contrast ration. Interestingly enough the IN76 did not report what bulb wattage was being used or what the expected bulb life would be. I can tell you I thought the image was beautiful and for those of you interested the SDE was visible until approx. 1.2x screen width.
