I wasnt really thinking projector at this time, but wow, how can you beat that price? I havent seen too many reviews of the X1, anyone have pointers that will kick me over the fence, or back off from it?

I am working on trying to get some kind of package deal with this projector and a screen from TV Authority. In addition to the $100 rebate Infocus is upping the warranty from 2 to 5 years too.
I am seriously thinking of getting one of these myself.
Infocus has dropped the price on their own site to $999. You still get $100 off or a free DVD player and the extended warranty from 2 to 5 years. In addition since they are updating their web site, for direct purchase from them, if you call to order it they will include the shipping.
As for my previous post about doing the demo of this projector, Parker has just bought one and apparently there is a 30 day return policy with no penalty or restocking fee. Buy now!!
I just started looking at buying a new primary TV, would this be a viable option as a primary TV? I've never considered buying a projector since I'm only in college, so I am unfamiliar with what factors should I consider when asking if a projector is actually an option. I would appreciate any help you may offer. Thanks
The facts on a front projection system is that it is going to be affected by room light. So if it is going to be in a room that has a lot of light into it then front projection is not something to look into. If on the other hand you can control this room light with curtains on the windows, etc. then this is a viable option.
This particular projector will be good for standard television and DVD. If you are looking for a projector that does HDTV justice then you want to look at a model that has at least an XGA resolution.
This projector only does SVGA but does scale up to XGA.
If you are looking for an entry level front projector to be used primarily for standard television viewing and DVD and you can control the light in the room it is in then this is a no brainer purchase. If on the other hand you can't really control room light then you might be disappointed in the picture quality during the day.
You can always pick one up while the price is this low and return it within 30 days if it is not going to work out for you.
Yes, Amy there has repeatedly told various people here otherwise, and I just confirmed with her again when I called back for my tracking number. (I should get it tomorrow! Whoa!) And just to be certain, I made a point of asking if this is true even if open and used during the 30 days (their site makes a distinction).
