A handful of all-in-one home-theatre projectors have hit the market over the last 18 months, and InFocus jumps into this interesting category with the InFocus Play Big IN1, an inexpensive DLP projector with an integrated DVD player and speaker to output sound.

While the info on the unit is a little vague, InFocus says that they are also looking into having an iPod dock for playing back iPod videos, to go along with the DVD player "dock" that attaches to the bottom of the projector.

Here are the details so far:

  • Price: US$499 (subject to change)
  • Availability: Spring 2007
  • Resolution: 480i resolution
  • Docking stations: potentials include a DVD player, a gaming station and a video iPod station
  • Audio: a built-in speaker

      The InFocus IN83 works beautifully out of the box, delivering smooth, rich pictures. That said, it fails to sizzle, plagued by a mild black crush despite a new DarkChip4 engine.

      If you're on the verge of upgrading your 480p projector and are on the lookout for a high-performance DLP entry, take a look at the BenQ W20000.

      Sim2's first foray into the entry level projector space isn't exactly cheap, or for that matter pretty. But the Domino D10 looks great where it really counts.

      Far too pricey for most people, yet the Sim2 HT3000E projector is so good it's actually worth the money

      Acer's built an impressive looking projector. The images it throws out, however, are less impressive than we'd like.
