Testurteil: "Hot Product"
Test: Einzeltest: InFocus SP8602
Zitat: Pros: + Very good color with extremely good skin tones
+ Well above average brightness in "best" movie mode, and in "brightest" mode
+ While hardly the best, definitely good "ultra-high contrast" performance, in terms of blacks, with the dynamic iris engaged
+ Good "pop and wow", dark colors especially rich looking
+ Really excellent dark shadow detail performance
+ Iris can be put in manual mode, with 10 brightness steps from 10% to full power (100%)
+ Good CFI SmoothMotion creative frame interpolation, best for sports, and digital source material. I noticed some occasional and not pretty artifacts on settings above Normal, much rarer on Normal or Low settings. A touch more "live digital video" on film based movies, than the best CFI setups out there
+ Very good remote control with very good range, excellent backlight, good organization Limited number of buttons though (InFocus favors simple)
+ Very good color management system
+ More inputs than most
+ Very good placement flexibility with 1.5:1 zoom and lens shift
+ Very good value proposition, when considering the competition around the same price
Cons: - Dynamic iris. It delivers the blacks well enough, but can be visible in its action, more so than a lot of others
- Menu layout not great (too much scrolling to find things)
- CFI not as smooth as the best. Definitely changes enough to "damage" the director´s intent when watching movies. Stick to sports and some digital content
- Slightly less than average lamp life? Rated by InFocus at 2000 hours (full power, and also the "industry average), but only "slightly better, in low lamp" while most 2000 hour full power projectors quote 3000 in low power.
- It really is large and not very pretty, even my JVC is smaller (and a lot classier looking!)
