InFocus LP820
InFocus for a long time now has been producing high-quality business and home projectors. Rated at 3000 ANSI lumens, this is InFocus’s third brightest projector. The LP840 and LP850 are rated higher at 3500 and 4500 ANSI lumens respectively.
The LP820 is an LCD projector that has a native display resolution of 1024 x 768. It has a 800:1 contrast ratio, which is pretty standard, and has a good mix of connectors. You will be able to connect almost any device to this projector. As well as having all the standard composite audio and video and component video connectors, it features a DVI connector and a network port so you can control the projector from a remote location. Even one better, you can control this projector without the use of any cables. InFocus supplied us with the InFocus LiteShow kit. The kit features an 11Mbps wireless adaptor card that plugs into the DVI port of your projector and a wireless LAN card that plugs into your notebook. Client software is also supplied so you can manage the projector from your notebook.
The InFocus was the second brightest projector. Surprisingly it was brighter than the Epson, which happened to be rated higher. The InFocus was very sharp and its contrast was excellent. Its only downfall was the variation in brightness.

Dear Sir,
Just to clarify the review of the XL30U. Contrast ratio is actually 500:1 and the product has a RRP of $8490.
Could we please have this amended.
