What We Think
I couldn’t resist covering this product as I have been reporting on the projector market for long enough that I remember when InFocus launched its ‘personal projector’, at 3Kg, $7000 and 500 lumens (1000 hour lamp life) and with 800 x 600 resolution in 1997. Not long after, the first 1,000 lumen mainstream projectors became available and it was a big deal! Before that, to get such high brightness, you had to go to Barco or other high end vendors for their ‘Light Cannons’! (BR)
