    Infocus 4800 DLP projector, 72" pulldown screen $1000

    Infocus 4800 DLP projector, 72" pulldown screen $1000 (US)
    Ok I have been visiting this board for a while reading the posts. I must say I think you guys give great advice. I finally decided to join. Heres my question.
    I was set on buying the Infocus 4805 but a local store around here has the 4800 with a screen for a thousand bucks. (not sure who the manufacturer of the screen is thoud) Should I buy the 4805 or is such a good deal I should get the 4800?

    Welcome!

    Hope you stick around!

    The Screenplay 4800....is the exact same as the X1.....the firmware is different in both....but it's firmware...my X1 has the 4800 firmware :roll: ...then the adaptor for component is worth 29.00$ shipped...

    Just FYi...the X1 can be had for 1250.00$ Can...right now....

    Faroudja and all...

    I'd think about that...

    Brand spanking new !

    Got a nice rack to show me ?

      The major difference I can see between the 4800 and the 4805 is an added component input, a 6 segment color wheel and the fact that the 4805 now has a 16:9 panel with a native resolution of 854 x 480, compared to the 4800's 4:3 native resolution of 800 x 600. If you are going to have a widescreen setup, then the newer native widescreen panel would be beneficial as there would be no light spill. I would also think the 6 segment color wheel would be a bonus, combined withthe newer TI dark chip they are using. t's hard to advise you what to do, but if it were me, I would probably go for the better PJ and find myself a cheap screen for the time being, and add a better one later, or make one myself.

        As far as the realtive value of the deal. Costco is selling the same package for $1200 (4800 + included unbranded screen).

        So it sounds as though your store is giving the package away at a very reasonable price.

        However, agree with George. Unless you really need a pulldown screen, and maybe even if you do, I'd go for the 4805 for slightly more than the 4800. Work the screen out afterwards.
