http://www.techradar.com/news/home-cinema/projectors/infocus-sp8602-projector-breaks-cover-610743http://www.integrityhometheater.com/infocus-sp8602.htmlInFocus is nearly synonomous with "projectors". Their projectors are commonplace in conference rooms all over the world, and their home theater projectors have won numerous awards. We've always been fans of their bright, punchy images in home theater applications. Movies from an InFocus seem to leap off the screen and have a Wow! factor second to none. And while the current IN-series can have some positioning challenges, they still toss a great picture.
That's one of the reasons I'm looking forward to seeing their new SP8602. Details are sketchy at this point, but their latest 1080p DLP home theater projector will be a complete diversion from the current style of the IN series. We don't have a MSRP as of yet, but InFocus has always been one of the best in the "bang-for-the-buck" category. They haven't gone after the low-end market in the past, but it's hard to beat the amazing images they give in their pricepoint, so I'm confident the SP8602 will be priced reasonably.
I'd love to see Osram's Unishape technology incorporated into the SP8602. Already in production in other home theater projectors, this light-modulation technology actually increases color depth in DLP projectors, as well as throwing a brighter, higher-contrast image.
As big fans of anamorphic 2.35:1 theaters, we love InFocus' projectors. Since their first ScreenPlay series projectors, InFocus has incorporated the two scaling modes necessary to make any anamorphic lens work. That means the InFocus SP8602 is sure to work with both movable constant-height lens systems and less expensive fixed constant-width setups. If you haven't seen or heard about anamorphic 2.35:1, it's definitely the theater of the future.
We'll update this page with more details on the InFocus SP8602 as soon as we're allowed to!
