User Submitted InFocus X2 Multimedia DLP Projector Reviews Date: 2007-12-06 Great except for short life of bulbs I bought my X2 in June of 2004. It has a good picture, and I like the projector for ease of use. However, after 1.5 years, and 700 hours, the bulb blew. I was disappointed, but figured the bulb blowing less than half its estimated life was just bad luck. I paid $300 and got a new bulb. It just blew on me after less than 500 hours. For the price they charge, they need to stand behind their bulbs! A 90 warranty? Are you kidding me!? If they can't give their customers more than 90 days on a $300 bulb, they should lose their customers. I will never buy Infocus again! Oh, and in case anyone is wondering, I never move my projector around or miss treat it. I also always let the fan run for hours after I use the projector to make sure the bulb is cooled completely. Date: 2007-08-01 Infocus X2 As a K-12 librarian in Menasha, WI, I need to make presentations to classes. In Sept 2005 I bought a brand new Infocus X2. It did a fantastic job. Two months later the school got two projectors so I brought mine home to use as a home theater. For a year my family watched television and movies on the big screen and it was great. When the bulb went out, the cost of replacement lamps sent me into shock. $300 for a bulb? I decided to purchase a 42 inch flat screen TV instead. The projector sits as a possible back-up, if I ever buy a bulb. Date: 2007-07-18 Good picture for the price, short life span, bad customer service I too have an X2 for the past 2 years and have now started seeing a verticle shadow on the right side of the screen, as well as the bearings making the "buzz-saw" sound until it heats up. I'm glad I saw this review since I have not been able to find any information about this shadow issue. I had no idea it was due to parts being glued in the hottest part of the device! Yikes! It gets great picture and has been a really good projector for our home theater until this issue. I won't buy another Infocus item because of the service issues and the BBB rating of the company. But it was a great intro home theater projector for the price at the time. Saved us 2 years worth of movie tickets at least. Steer clear of this brand if you want to get more than 2 years of average use out of it. Date: 2007-06-23 Good picture, short bulb life This projector provides a good, bright, clear picture. But I've had two bulbs blow out after only about 300-400 hours each. That's about $1 an hour! For this reason, I wouldn't recommend it. Date: 2007-06-21 Amazing Projectro! I have the X2 for about 2 years now, and it was an excellent idea to purchase this projector. For the past two years i was using the composite connection to display DVD, until yesterday - when i purchased the M1 to component cable adaptor (thanks to tigerdirect.ca). let me tell you it was a night and day difference! I couldent believe the picture quality. The whites were brighter blacks darker, and color was beautiful! So make sure you invest in the M1 to component adaptor(SP-M1-ADPT). My only wish item for this projector is the 4:3 native resolution - wish it was a 16:9 native resolution. The other thing is the fan. Its a bit loud, but after a while my surround sound covers that up. Other than that amazing projector for the price!
