Is Infocus In Focus?

InFocus is a company of inventors and providers of digital products meeting the demands of today’s world. Another award-winning company, one of the claims of InFocus is that the company focuses on the gaming world – bringing to life the games that Americans so enjoy!

2006 brought many customer-oriented awards to InFocus. Among them – Cnet’s Best of CNet Finalist, two awards from AudioVideoFoto where the SP5000 was ranked first among three 16:9 projectors and has the best price-performance ratio, What Hi-Fi?’s UK “Test Winner”, China Computer World’s Annual Product Award for Mobile Projector, Tone Magazine’s Best of the Best Awards, and the list goes on. InFocus has really made an impact in the gaming world internationally.

What Do Infocus Projectors Offer?

As with any purchase of a home projector, the object is to find one that meets your needs while remaining in your price range. Is the InFocus projector the right projector for you? InFocus offers a variety of projectors – with the InFocus LCD projector, the InFocus DLP projector, and the InFocus XLA projector among the choices.

The main difference between the LCD and the DLP is that the DLP is designed to show a high quality picture even in a fully lighted room. The DLP technology is designed for use in portable projectors, which enable you to take your fun with you when you go. If you plan to stay at home to view your DVDs or play games, the InFocus LCD may be the right projector for you. Whether you go to your friends or have your friends come to you, there is an InFocus projector for everyone.

Quality Products/Large Price Range

One of the greatest factors in the choice of home projectors is the quality you get for the price you pay. As you can see from the awards above, InFocus offers quality products without breaking your budget. Starting at around $400, there is an InFocus projector for budgets large and small.

Replacement parts are one thing that determines whether or not a product offers quality as well as value. Being able to replace certain parts yourself will save you both time and money – and there is nothing more frustrating than having to postpone a gaming session with friends than having to wait for your projector to get back from the dealer when you need a part replaced. The InFocus projector lamp and the InFocus projector bulb can be ordered straight from the InFocus website – or you have the option to shop around for the best deal.

The one downfall that I can find to the InFocus projector is power supply problems. Some customers are having problems with the power supply causing the projectors to shut down after a short time. The model that is affected by power supply problems is the LP280. Upon searching the InFocus website, I could not find the product listed – so, I would like to think that a company as innovative and award-winning as InFocus has either continued the model or upgraded to a better product.Presenting Ask Proxima

InFocus has introduced a new subsidiary company – one that focuses on projectors that fit many needs in today’s video world. All Ask Proxima projectors work with computers, DVD players, gaming consoles, and cable or satellite – so, finding a Proxima projector is just a matter of choosing the features and the price range you are looking for.

Ask Proxima projectors begin in the mid pricing range for projectors. The lowest priced projector is around $1000. The C175 looks and acts like a high-end projector – but, comes with a price tag that is easily affordable. It is easy to setup and easy to operate – can be used as a portable or stationary projector and is overall a very nice projector for the price. The quality of the projector is comparable to other projectors in the same price range. And, the easy setup makes this projector ideal for gamers and video fans alike that wish to transport the projector from one location to another – either room-to-room or building-to-building. This projector would be ideal for a small business owner, who could use the projector both at home and at work – and be able to impress clients with a state-of-the-art presentation.

On the other end of the spectrum is the C460, which has a price tag of around $6000. This projector is designed for use in the boardroom for the best possible presentations. So, if your company is looking for an affordable projector that can be used stationary or portable, this Ask Proxima projector may be the answer. Hook up to your computer for training sessions or to view proposals with a group of coworkers.

One thing that impressed me about the Ask Proxima website is the Parts and Accessories Finder – a tool that allows you to find user replaceable parts and accessories with the ease of a few clicks of your mouse. This makes it easier for you when it is time to replace your Proxima projector lamp. The tool lets you know if the product is in stock or on back order and even has links that connect you to resellers when a product is out of stock. And, since the projector lamp can be expensive to replace, it is nice to know that the company goes the extra step by providing other sources for you.

Overall, I am pretty impressed by this company. To me, one of the most important things is a user-friendly website and great customer service. From what I can see, Ask Proxima offers both. If your budget allows you to shop in the mid price range, check out Ask Proxima to see if you can find the right projector for your home theater – and if you don’t find all of the answers you need right away, just Ask!
