    Looking at the InFocus X1, but what about the 4805??

    By the way... I bought my X1.. Got a few headaches from the start, but after a couple days they were totally gone. I love it! I see rainbows on occassion but not enough to ever worry about. Joe

    Need speakers... What to get. Please read!

    Ok... I'm now clueless. I'd perfer to buy the speakers in a store at a good price... But if you think those online speakers will rock, then maybe I should go that route.

    Infocus 4805 rep says between April & July

    I'm so happy I didn't wait for the 4805... Months ago I was told it was only weeks away... now months after that I'm told its months away. Hmm.

    Hmm... So, you think the JBL's will sound good? Its a fairly large room... the sitting area is about 14x12. 14 feet from the projection screen. The rest of the room is a game room. I just don't want to get them, and get poor quality, or a tinny sound... Yeah know? Like... to small of speakers...

    Hmmm... i saw Best Buy has them for sale this week... But I see no price at all. Hm. AH! So, should I get a sub too, or is that something that could wait you think? Also, what sub would work well? Thanks Joe

    The bose wasn't under 400. I was just saying they sounded great :-) And if I wanted, I'm sure I could find a good deal on Ebay, but if these other ones at BB are good or as good, then I'll be happy. Thanks, I'll check them out. Joe

    Need speakers... What to get. Please read!

    The room is 12 feet wide and 16 feet long. I just purchased an infocus X1 projecting an 84inch diag picture. I watch several movies a week, and listen to no music. I also watch some TV. My budget is around $400 bucks. I'm just worried that since my HT is downstairs, the ceiling tiles will...

    Need speakers... What to get. Please read!

    Hello! I'm new, so excuse the ignorance a head of time! I just purchased a Denon 1801 from a fellow HTF member. Its a 70 watt. I'm looking for something inexpensive but sounds good. I was looking at the Bose system that was setup at Best Buy and it sounded amazing. I know with Bose you're paying...

    Wanted: Used surround sound receiver.

    Hey guys. I'm looking to spend probably around $150 shipped if possible. I wish i had more to spend, but my projector set me back a bit. All I'm looking to do is setup 5 speakers. My two existing stereo speakers, and get a center and two rears. No sub for now. I don't think I need 5.1 or...

    How did you tweak your X1???

    I have mine set to native. I sure hope its the right setting since its already mounted on the ceiling! Anyways, I was noticing it on Mona Lisa Smiles just two nights ago. I kept rubbing my eyes because they were getting tired. Hm... The only other setting I have changed is the keystone to about...

    How did you tweak your X1???

    I ended up changing the sharpness to the sharpest setting. Thats what I had the component set to. The S video was only sent to standard. Is it just me, or does the picture look much brighter when my laptop is plugged into the svga port? I have an old school DVD player from like 99... Its a...

    How did you tweak your X1???

    OK... I'm new to this... Can you put that in terms I could better understand? Where do I get a calibration disc? Also, I never hook up my computer other then when i was troubleshooting. Joe

    How did you tweak your X1???

    I'm interested in getting everything out of my X1. I'd like to know what settings did you have to change to get the picture its very best for everyone reading this. I'm pretty much running out of the box settings, and I think it still looks a little blurry especially with DVD's... Its weird...

    Trouble with brand new X1... Is it me?

    Fixed the problem! Very weird. It ended up being from the coax cable that was screwed into my vcr. Very very odd. I ended up grounding my coax cable splitter to a water pipe. It was already grounded out side to my electrical guage thing... Or maybe that could have been for my cable modem...

    Trouble with brand new X1... Is it me?

    It sounds like a electrical ground not a cable ground.... How do I ground my electrical outlet!?!

    Scrolling vertical lines from new projector? Help!

    I'm getting scrolling vertical lines from my new Infocus X1. I see them via the S video and the standard yellow connection. Yesterday I had some issues with the picture jumping up, then down about two inches, every 30 seconds... That seem to have gone away... I also notice some lines very very...

    Trouble with brand new X1... Is it me?

    Alright, I unplugged everything except for my DVD and TV and its still doing it. I noticed when the washing machine, in the other room would switch cycles the screen would act like the tracking was messed up, turn black and white, then the picture would have huge vertical lines. What the heck is...

    Trouble with brand new X1... Is it me?

    Hm... I'll have to trouble shoot my groud issue. For the jumping, it wasn't jumping last night. It was odd. Maybe its a ground issue also. I doubt the outlets are properly grounded. Thanks. Joe

    Trouble with brand new X1... Is it me?

    Interesting development.... I was watching the matrix on cable, and decided to turn on the X1... Now there isn't any screen jumping. But there are horiz. lines still... Scrolling up failry slowly. I'm going to give it another day before I return/exchange it. What could the scrolling lines be...

    Anyone ever get headaches from their projector?

    I just got an X1... While it was working yesterday, I got a heck of a headache after watching for only 1-2 hours. I noticed some rainbows too. I heard headaches can happen on a 2x color wheel.... I'm thinking about returning it and holding out for a 4805. I read that 4x color wheels seem to be...

    Trouble with brand new X1... Is it me?

    Exactly!!!!! I just thought it was maybe the washing maching running at the time causing the lines... The lines were weird. It was like there was a dark section between every other line. If you know what i mean... (probably not). I turned it off, and it still did it. All is well when I plug my...

    Trouble with brand new X1... Is it me?

    I did a reset and nothing changed. Its still acting up. I plugged my laptop in, and popped a DVD in and everything looks great. No jumpage. It does it on the yellow video connection and the s video. They're both 25 foot cables run, for now, just along the wall, from behind my entertainment...

    Trouble with brand new X1... Is it me?

    On Saturday I went to Circuit City and bought my very first projector. I got it home, and yesterday, I sware everything was fine. Now today I'm noticing the picture jumping 1-2 inches up and down. When the picture jumps down I can see mostly black line with some white dots and dashes. Its making...

    Sitting 100-110 inchs from Screen... How large should I get?

    Should I get a 16:9 or a 4:3 screen? How does the X1 handle non-wide screen shows/movies? How does the 16:9 mode really work? Sorry, I'm new to this. Joe
