InFocus @ CEDIA - Screenplay 777 & IN78EX {Engadget HD}
Sep 27th 2006 1:14AM In all reality, with the Colorwheel being a 6-Segmented 4-Speed Colorwheel, the possibility of people actually being able to catch a Rainbow, is nearly impossible, as the colorwheel would be spinning much faster than the eye is able to 'refresh' at. And really thats all people are seeing is the 'refresh rate' of the colorwheel as it spins, adding additional segments, and making it faster, limits this possibility to a near impossibility...unless you are constantly panning your head across the screen faster than one would normally shake their head to a 'no' response to a question that is...
InFocus @ CEDIA - Screenplay 777 & IN78EX {Engadget HD}
Sep 27th 2006 1:04AM I have asked InFocus this recently, and from what I have been able to ascertain, the price will not be changing all that much in the near future, as when this projector first released a little over a year ago the price tag was $30,000. so seeing that in just over a year the price drop about 50%, I don't expect it to drop any further any time soon. But InFocus has done some strange things recently, Like moving their Technical Support and Customer Service call center out of their Corporate Office in Wilsonville, OR to Bangalore India.

Sep 26th 2006 1:00AM I'm trying to figure that one out as well, as the 777 has 3 Texas Instrument 0.8" 720p DarkChip 3, 12 LVDS DMD's, and has a 5000:1 Full On/Full Off Contrast Ratio, and the 78EX has 1 Texas Instrument 0.8" 720p DarkChip 3, 12 LVDS DMD, and has a 6-segment, 4-speed, D65K (6500K) color calibrated colorwheel to help provide and astonishing 3500:1 Full On/Full Off Contrast Ratio. So I'm not seeing how the 777 can have a worse off black level.
I suppose that the brightness levels can have something to do with it, after all the 777 has a briliant 2000 Video Optimized ANSI Lumens, where as the 78EX only has 1000 Video Optimized ANSI Lumens. So it is a possibility that the brightness of the 777 is actually diminishing the quality of the black level through image washout.
