I have had this projector for over 3 years now. It has experienced all the common problems that people report in the forums. It broke down within a couple of months, and was fixed with no cost to me as it was still under warranty. Then a couple of months later it was the underpowered fuse, but since it was not under warranty anymore, I replaced it myself. Now the third and the worst failure happened just a couple of days ago when I turned it on and saw smoke coming out of the projector. I opened it up and the power supply capacitor C517 and the fuse were burnt. I replaced them, but something else is wrong since the fuse keeps blowing up every time I turn it on. I have had no luck in getting hold of a replacement for the power supply board.
PROS:
- Very good picture
CONS:
- Repeated component failure

Full disclosure: I don’t own a HDTV and this is the first projector I’ve ever purchased. However, I’ve had this for over 2 years and it’s been a real joy. Be warned, this thing is big. I use it for business presentations and the only case that can fit it is a rolling suitcase. It’s made for movies, and in that area it is as clear, if not clearer than our CRT TVs. I would definitely buy another again.

I’ve had this babe for 4 months now, and all I can say is that the image looks way better than in my 29″ CRT TV. Duh! Of course it does. Now, seriously, in the past I considered a home projector a stupid option because I had only seen old LCD models… And the blacks were, well… actually gray, and the colors did not convince. With the InFocus IN72, however, blacks look dark gray, the darkest gray I have ever seen in a home projector. It’s not really black, though. It can be compared to the “black” of a modern LCD monitor when seen in a completely darkened room. I’m a Star Wars fan, so I watch a lot of space scenes, and I have to say that while the space with the IN72 does not look as black as in my good old CRT TV, it is quite convincing for most viewers. Not a single one of my friends has ever complained about image quality. Of course, they sit rather far from the screen, and I have only a 70″ screen. If you buy a larger screen or sit closer, you can see the pixel structure (screen door effect), and that can be distracting. If you really need a big screen but the same great InFocus quality, look for the IN76, which is HD.

I got this projector about 6 months ago and I couldn’t be happier. In a bright room the picture is a bit dim, but I have blinds so that works. The projector did break down last month and I sent it back for warranty repair. I had it back within a week. Very fast service.
