Feature Set The InFocus X3's menu system is similar to that on InFocus's other projectors; it is clean, well-organized, and easy to navigate. Adjustment options are divided into two categories, Picture and Settings. There is also an About menu for information regarding hours on the lamp, which source is active, what format the active signal is in, and the projector's firmware version. The picture menu includes all major adjustments necessary for basic calibration: keystone, contrast, brightness, color, and tint.
Many of these are only available when the projector is receiving a video signal; color and tint are disabled when the X3 is displaying data. For in-depth adjustment, there is an "Advanced" menu with options for sharpness, color space, and color temperature both preset values and manual controls.
The Settings menu contains such items as speaker volume for the onboard 2. However, blanking, mute, and source selection already have designated buttons on the remote. So using the Effect button for these functions is not necessary.
As for the remote itself, it is simple and utilitarian, with few buttons. There are forward and back buttons for cycling through presentations, volume controls, source controls, a screen blanking button, the aforementioned "Effect" button, and menu manipulation controls. It would have been useful to have keystone adjustment controls on the remote as well, but keystone must be adjusted via the menu.
Also, the remote is not backlit, nor do the buttons glow. Many data projectors include digital zoom to allow presenters to show fine detail in their material. Some also include a pointing device--either a laser pointer built into the remote or a digital cursor. The X3 lacks these features, which may be a consideration for those using the X3 for digital presentation. The X3 has three simple aspect ratio options: , , and Native.
Since the X3 was not designed as a home theater projector, it lacks some of the more advanced options present on comparably-priced home theater machines, such as positioning material in the center of a screen. On the other hand, material is displayed using a x pixel matrix. If this is the default mode of operation, you can use the Native mode to display in x format. This is somewhat smaller than the line widescreen format, but it is much clearer and sharper due to lack of scaling.
The addition of a monitor loop-through on the X3 makes this projector particularly suited for a classroom setting; teachers can display their desktop on both the projector and their normal monitor. This feature, as well as the X3's high lumen output and contrast, make it a good choice for the education market. Ease of Use Connectivity on the X3 is limited. There are dedicated ports for composite and S-video; however, any signal more complex than these must be fed through the M1-DA port via an adapter.
A pin VGA to M1 adapter is included with the projector. Read Review. The ANSI lumen rating measures the brightest white that a projector can produce by averaging nine light meter measurements taken across the projected image.
BUYER BEWARE Either this projector's brightness specification does not cite an industry-accepted unit of measurement, or according to our calculations it seems unlikely that this projector is capable of producing the manufacturer's cited brightness specification.
