Verdict

The Infocus IN2116 is a versatile DLP business projector featuring a native WXGA (1280 x 800) resolution, 3000 ANSI lumens of brightness, and a 2100:1 contrast ratio. Designed for classrooms and meeting rooms, it includes two integrated 5W speakers, 3D-ready capabilities, and a filter-free design for reduced maintenance. Its main advantages are its high brightness for handling ambient light, clear data image quality, and relatively quiet 32dB operation. However, its primary drawbacks include a lack of native HDMI or DVI digital inputs and a somewhat tedious setup due to having only one adjustable rear foot.
