InFocus drops the price on the still kickin' SP777


InFocus is keeping the award winning ScreenPlay 777 around just a bit longer with a price drop to $9,999.99. (Previous price drop lowered it to $12,999) We were kind of hoping that they would announce a successor to the venerable 720p DarkChip3 projector. This projector really is sweet and all, but it;s been around for a while and we just want a refresher. It;s not even that it's 720p cause around here we don't fall for all that 1080p hoopl, but it would have been nice to see the same quality contrast and colors with the option of a higher resolution. Even still, the projector is an amazing unit and we would venture to say that is now the best projector for under $10 grand. (period)

InFocus @ CEDIA - Screenplay 777 & IN78EX


The Screenplay 777 is nothing new but the projector just commands attention and we complied. It is such a beautiful 3-chip projector that is in a league of its own when it boils down to style and class. Don't expect to put the unit on a end-table though as it is simply too big for that.


The big news from InFocus is the new 720p IN78EX DarkChip3 powered projector. By slightly reworking the cabinet from the 76 model and obvisouly throwing in the newer DarkChip3, InFocus has a winner on their hands. The demo they showed us in their pleasantly cool (a good 10-degrees cooler then the trade floor) theater consisted of a pre-record NFL game and The Island high-def trailer that look great. In the world that is CEDIA, this projector held its own and thanks to the DarkChip3 demonstrated astounding black levels. The demo switched to the HD DVD release of Saraha for the Screenplay 777 and even though this three-chip DLP had better detail, it just didn't have the same blacks as the newer and cheaper IN78EX. If you don't fall for all the 1080p marketing hype, this $4,499 720p projector might make its way into your home theater. And, yes, this projector might just look better then the Sony Pearl.
