Customer Reviews

Good "road show" choice-very durable and reliable.2002-06-19
I do a lot of PowerPoint presentations at customer and prospect sites and I have come to depend on my InFocus LP280 Projector by In Focus. It is a very good traveling unit. It has very good resolution for a unit in this price range. More importantly, my experience is the unit travels very well. It s well constructed. The carrying case is also very rugged and provides excellent containment and control of the unit on the road while also allowing very quick and clean accessibility at airport check points.

As with all InFocus products, there are some caveats. The operating system is logical but not intuitive. It therefore is key that you take some time to get comfortable with the operation of the unit with the input device you are using BEFORE your big presentation. If you don't, you are guaranteed to look like a doofus no matter how stunning your presentation.

Changing the bulb is not a breeze. If it burns out, take a 15 minute break and take your time. The unit does not come with a spare-buy one up front and carry it with you. Bed advised the bulbs are expensive, even if you can find them at a discount.

The support equipment that comes with the unit is superior. It includes a remote control with batteries, carrying case, VGA Cable, S-video cable, RCA cable, USB cable, PS/2 cable, power cord, documentation set, and lens cap

The unit is compact and very light in comparison to most competitive units-also a plus on the road.

This isn't the unit for top of the line presentations in very large halls-for that you need to bite the bullet and get a superior unit, such as the LS110. However, it goes for over five grand-not the sort of thing you want to be playing "football" with in airports, so to speak.

The unit is warranted for 2 years-a plus, though my experience is finding repair facilities for InFocus is difficult and turnaround is awful.

All in all, a very solid unit and good value for the money.

Audio & Video Connections Guide
" For a list of all the ways technology has failed to improve the quality of life, please press three." - Alice Kahn This quote is certainly applicable to consumer electronics. From the very first commercially produced radios to the latest in high-definition television technology, the manner in which the components used to deliver our news, music, movies and entertainment are interconnected seems to have escaped logic. For both the newcomer and the old hand alike, connecting equipment in the most efficient and effective manner can be a painful chore. It is hoped this article will improve your background knowledge concerning potential A/V system connection schemes and where each is most appropriate.
