InFocus Corporation is now shipping the ScreenPlay 4800 projector, the third in its line of home theater projectors, and the first to break the $1,500 price barrier. The ScreenPlay 4800 can project images up to 12 feet with crisper, higher-resolution images than plasma, big screen TVs and many other projectors.

InFocus has integrated technology from Texas Instruments and Faroudja into the ScreenPlay 4800. Both Texas Instrument's DLP technology and Faroduja's deinterlacing technology, DCDi, are featured in the projector. Together, these technologies make the ScreenPlay 4800 adaptable to most broadcast technologies, including High-Definition broadcasts, while still remaining light, bright, and quiet.[an error occurred while processing this directive]Weighing six pounds, the ScreenPlay 4800 can be placed out of view following use.

The projector also comes with an unmatched set of ease-of-use features and connectivity to with televisions, DVD players or satellite receivers. The unique home theater onscreen menu and home theater remote includes controls for aspect ratio, overscan, user settings, in 12 languages, multiple pre-set modes for film, video, and PC as well as extensive image controls for color saturation, contrast, tint, and brightness.
