Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Awesome, when it works. Comment: I've owned this projector for about 2 years now and I keep it in the family room where it is used daily. Like others have posted, it's an excellent projector... until that noise kicks in. We are deciding whether or not to pay $350 for it to be fixed by our local service dealer or to buy a new HDTV. I would say, if you buy an Infocus projector, get the X2 since this is not manufactured anymore. That said, image quality is quite good, especially HD. For computers, it only goes up to 1024x768. When it was working, it "Wow"'d anyone who saw it and was an awesome addition to the home theater. Customer Rating: Summary: The best deal (or not??) Comment: I did my homework before buying the projector and the x1 came up on top of the list. Right price, amazing picture quality and great reviews. I was impressed! So I went ahead and bought it, Jan. 2004 ($999). First bulb lasted 2000 hrs (not bad I thought), picture was great. The best deal I made! I thought. Then the noise came, a horrible grinding noise coming from the unit started right after the warranty expired. Coincidence??? Who knows! Base on what I've been reading lately it seems like more and more people are coming out with the same problem. The noise is now so loud and annoying (table-saw cutting wood) I had to stop using the projector. I wrote to Infocus but they want $259.00 without even seeing the unit. I don't think Infocus will fix it right anyways so I guess I'll be shopping for a new projector next week and it sure won't be an Infocus this time. Fool me once shame on you, full me twice shame on me. Thanks Infocus, I'm now the proud owner of a $1000 dead bat hanging on my ceiling! Customer Rating: Summary: Bad design, bad customer service, chainsaw noise Comment: After a lot of research we bought an X1 in July 2003 for home theatre use. For the price, you couldn't complain - we watched TV as well as movies and loved it so much that we recommended it to a friend who purchased one. About 3 weeks before the 2 year warranty expired it started getting noisy, but the problem would come and go so (regetably) we didn't act on it straight away. As it got worse we contacted Infocus who refused to do anything about it because the warranty period had expired. The noise was created by a problem with the fan that cools the colour wheel. The fan itself is probably a $20 part, but the bad design of the projector meant that you couldn't just replace the fan, but had to replace the whole colour-wheel assembly - at a cost of $1000 for the part!!! (more than the cost of the projector). A few months after the noise started the globe exploded. Needless to say, we are now in the market for a new projector and its not likely to be an Infocus model. Customer Rating: Summary: no better projector for the money Comment: Anyone who is considering buying a projector but doesnt want to spend their life savings should definitely look into the X1. The faroujda processor is used through the S-video and composite connections and makes even the most modest DVD player look amazing. for an SVGA player, this machine is absolutely amazing. Don't waste your money buying a more expense projector, unless you are an absolute perfectionist you wont notice the difference. By the way, firmware for the Infocus 4800 can be downloaded onto the X1 for greater availability to adjust the picture (dont send in your projector with the different firmware though or they will void the warranty). SD cable will look good, but it is definitely worth it to kick down a couple bucks to get HDTV. WOW! what a picture Customer Rating: Summary: Get the new X1 upgrade ....screenplay 4805 Comment: I'm planning to get this projector but I found out Infocus repackaged this x1 for the consumer market called the "Screenplay 4805", it's basically the x1 with newly added upgrade extra features. The best place you can get is not online but at Costco for only $1300 with a FREE 72" screen included....what a steal...where can u get a projector with a free screen....wow! -DJ More Reviews
