The Infocus 4805 debuted Summer of 2004 at Retail price of $1499
Soon after 6 months Costco carried them fro $999 which wasn't a bad deal at the time for HDTV picture.
This is the economy line from Infocus. Pretty light way to carry to a friends house.
Specs: The 4805 features a 16:9 format DLP chip in 854x480 resolution
the lumen output is considered slightly lower than average projector at the time, rated at a maximum of 750 ANSI lumens.
However, contrast is a very high 2200:1. The room should be kept dark. Any ambient line kinda washed away the brightness of the picture
The Lamp comes with a Hi and Lo, obviously keeping it Hi shortens the average bulb life of 4000 hours.
Fan noise wasnt an issue unless you have it in Hi mode.
Replacement bulbs are in the neighborhood of $300-$400
I hooked mine up to a HDTV tuner and the pictures were pretty amazing considering the relative low cost projector.
The startup time was about 10 secs.
Inputs include one set of 3 RCAs and component progressive and interlaced signals; one M1 port that takes DVI (HDCP), HDMI (with adapter), RGB and component HDTV; one S-video port; one composite video jack.
One set of stereo RCA audio inputs and a 12v trigger for screen drop.
In conclusion for the price it was well worth it for me. Not very much complaints.
