Infocus X10 Reviews: |
Overall: 10/10
|
For starters, the X10's picture is almost unbelievably sharp. While watching the nice-picture-shame-about-the-movie Blu-ray of National Treasure 2, the definition in the actors' faces during the bright White House egg hunt sequence is little short of jaw-dropping. There's exceptional fine detailing, total crispness, and a complete absence of video noise. What's more, the outstanding detail levels also help generate a terrific sense of depth to the image, revealing every last subtlety of focus as the image trails into the distance.

- Very bright in both best, and brightest modes
- Excellent skin tones and overall color handling
- Very sharp image
- Good color management system
- Excellent shadow detail
- Good image processing (image noise)
- Good selection of inputs, including 2 that are HDMI 1.3 compatible
- Support for 24fps (no 3:2 pulldown, eliminates judder) and Deep Color
- Very impressive price performance
Considering InFocus was very late in introducing their first generation 1080p projectors, they have more than compensated. This one's a top pick, and that's why we are pleased to give it our Hot Product Award. |

With the dynamic iris system enabled, blacks are deep and plenty of dark image detail is visible. Fast jumps to ultra-bright screens were executed well with the X10’s dynamic iris adjusting quickly and without confusion.
This projector’s image is extremely sharp, too — there was no softness that we could identify, and minute details are easily visible. Images seem incredibly life-like.
We hate to keep raving, but colour saturation is great as well. Images are well balanced and vibrant without being overblown — skin tones are a great example of the natural image that this projector produces.
Frankly, we’re surprised that the InFocus X10 home theatre projector is only $3500. The image it produces will flatter any high-definition content and the fact that it is so moderately priced further serves to heighten its appeal. |
