Projector for under €200 InFocus In1

Villain

Not sure if anyone has seen this offer or not but there is currently a projector selling for under €200.

Its the InFocus IN1 and I got one on Friday

Ok firstly if you want a projector to use with your laptop this is NOT suitable, if you want HD its NOT suitable.

But if you want connect a sky box or Playstation 2 or 3 or Xbox or Xbox 360 or a WII to a machine that can give you a huge screen i.e. 100" or more and has decent quality, this is amazing value.

Most people will know my setup here, I posted it under under Irish1, I have a Panny AX100 for HD viewing of Sky HD and Playstation3 and Xbox360 so I know what a good HD projector looks like and tbh I was amazed by the IN1, ok its not anyway near the AX100 but for the money it gives a very good picture and while the stats say 500 Lumens it actually quite bright, now you will want a dark room but its bright.

At the moment I have the WII connected to Composite and the Playstation 3 connected to the Component, and the Playstation3 looks pretty good, the Wii is weak enough but certainly viewable and you could get a component connection for the WII.

The inbuilt speakers are pretty good, the downside is no VGA connection with such a low resolution it wouldn't be great anyway, I have connected it to a PC which has a component out and watched a movie and it was a great picture.

Anyone needs any more details please ask

This has been on ibood before for twice the price: http://www.ibood.com/site/nl/forum/index.php?action=vthread&forum=1&topic=5130

199 is probably a fair asking price. I saw this deal in one of the weekend papers, but can't remember who was selling it.

EDIT: Just spotted that elara have it for €185.13 collected

I just got an IN1 project and want to connect to a laptop to project some pictures. I do not need much resolution etc, and this was the cheapest projector ($180 from Tiger DIrect).

How do I connect? I have a Dell (preferred option) but could use my kids Mac.

Thanks.:)

Does your PC have an s-video connector? Most laptops have one. Resolution should be set very low, 640x480 perhaps.

Thanks, it does have a 7 pin s-video. I will get a cable.
