InFocus X10 – DLP 1080p Home Theater Projector Review: Overview

The InFocus X10 is their entry level 1080p home theater projector. At this point, InFocus perhaps has the largest lineup of single chip 1080p DLP projectors for home cinema. The X10 uses the relatively new Darkchip1 DLP processor. Its performance is below that of the Darkchip3 used in most more expensive DLP projectors, and definitely below the new top of the line Darkchip4 found in the InFocus IN83 which we reviewed (and were dazzled with) in July.

There isn’t much difference between the different 1080p projectors from InFocus when it comes to physical layout and features, but performance in areas like brightness, black levels and image processing do vary. For many looking at InFocus projectors, a challenge is to decide which one to buy – the X10 for the least money, a little more for the IN81, more still for the more expensive models. For each incremental dollar you should get a better overall performer.
