If you have a demanding commercial or industrial application or you just like to watch a lot of high definition TV and Blu-ray discs in your home media room, the XGA resolution InFocus IN1501 DLP Projector is the projector for you. With its 24/7-rated duty cycle it's all projection, all the time.
With 3000 ANSI lumens at an 1800:1 contrast ratio the IN1501 can project large, bright images even when it's up against substantial ambient light. And it doesn't need a lot of room to do it. Its short throw lens can project 64 inch wide image from just 3.8 feet away from the screen.
Even with its rugged design and high projection power it has all of the features you'd expect in an advanced projector.
It's got a 100 to 240 V AC 50/60 Hz power supply. Its onscreen display (OSD) offers 17 languages. It can project NTSC, PAL and SECAM video. Its HD capabilities include 720p, 1080i and 1080p and it's PC and Mac compatible. The IN1501 can not only project all the time it can do it with a wide variety of signals in most of the world.
Of course you might not want to lug around a bulky VGA cable with you when you're giving presentations on the go. In that case just plug a USB cable into your laptop and the USB port on your 1501. InFocus calls this feature DisplayLink. If using a USB cable isn't convenient you can use the optional wireless version and pair your projector with a PC up to 30 feet away. It's great when you want to travel light.
With a Texas Instruments DLP imager with BrilliantColor the IN1501 not only works hard but, well, brilliantly. Ironically, DLP chipsets not only produce some of the most intensely vivid and beautiful images of any technology, they actually save you time, money and in permanent installations, the possibility of skinned knuckles too. DLP chips don't require filters that have to be periodically cleaned and replaced.

Comments about InFocus IN1501 DLP Projector:
I was looking for a great, short-throw projector that was bright and had greta keystone features. This projector was exactly what I was looking for and works perfectly. The small footprint is great and the quick uptime and cool down time is perfect.
