Hot Deals from TV Authority on the Infocus 4805 and more! (1 Viewer)

[Dan Hitchman]

The 4805 was on display at the Denver Marriot shootout about 1 1/2 months ago put on by Integrity Home Theater.

As long as you were sitting 2x the width back and projected it on a 92" screen you were hard pressed to tell it wasn't high def. I think what it makes up for in detail is the color vibrancy and "pop" due to a very bright image and it being fairly D6500K calibrated right out of the box (using the Infocus DVI-like input; you do have to get either an Infocus DVI adapter plug or a special digital cord for compatibilty with standard DVI output players and computers).

That said, you would ABSOLUTELY want a 720p or greater PJ if you moved to a larger screen than 92" and/or were planning on sitting closer as the lack of true "high def-ness" starts to take its toll.

Black level was much better when using a high contrast gray screen in conjunction with the 4805. I guess you could use a good neutral density filter if you were going for a matte white screen (as in this offer).

How much more would the 92" pull down & 4805 offer be with the high contrast, negative gain material rather than matte white at 1.1 gain?

Could a tensioned model pull down be made available with this deal, or is that a lot more? I notice that the 92" Model B included in the bundle is the one with CSR. Does that include a built in screen tension bar so the screen is wave-less over its life?

Dan:

I would give Kirk a call or an email with your question. I am sure that he would be able to give you a great price on whatever you choose to pick up.

Well I recieved my 4805 on Thursday. I went with the 4805 and 92" screen $1499 deal from TVAUTHORITY.com. The screen isn't here yet but not a big deal. I went to Lowes and built a screen using Parkland Plastex and the results are awesome!

I jokingly said to my wife as we were watching Finding Nemo with our daughter, "You know, we have 30 days to return the projector " If you could see the look she gave me, you would know that we are keeping it! ;-)

I just got my 4805 on Friday from TVauthority. My screen will also be here shortly. I dont think I will even use it. I have it setup shooting on my white wall with about a 106" and it looks great to me. No way I am going down to a 92". Probably will sell it right away.

Micah:

Sell it and get a 106 inch to replace it with.

I used to shoot a 120 inch diagonal image onto a white wall for years and really liked the picture. I never felt like a screen was all that necessary.

You and Jim need to post some shots of you new toys on the forum.
