Third-party reviews

What customers like about InFocus IN5314

  • High brightness at 4,000 lumens, suitable for rooms with ambient light
  • Native WXGA resolution (1280x800) matches modern wide-format laptop standards
  • Includes vertical and horizontal lens shift for highly flexible installation
  • Interchangeable lens options (standard, short throw, and long throw) for different venue sizes
  • 3D-ready capability for displaying compatible content
  • Maintenance-friendly design with easy lamp access even when ceiling-mounted

What customers don't like about InFocus IN5314

  • Relatively short lamp life, estimated at only 1,500 to 2,000 hours
  • Older technology; the model was launched in 2011 and is now discontinued
  • Limited modern connectivity, such as only one HDMI port
  • Larger and heavier form factor (8.6kg) compared to many modern portable alternatives
  • Audible fan noise measured at 34 dB, which may be noticeable in quiet settings

Verdict

The InFocus IN5314 is a versatile WXGA conference room projector featuring a native 1280 x 800 resolution and a bright 4,000 ANSI lumens output suited for well-lit environments. Utilizing DLP technology with a 2,000:1 contrast ratio, it provides sharp images and includes 3D-ready capabilities and a flexible vertical lens shift (+35%/-0%) for easier installation. Major pros include its extensive connectivity suite (HDMI, DVI-D, and 5 BNC inputs), filter-free 24/7 rated operation, and relatively portable 4.8 kg form factor for its class. However, it is limited by a short standard lamp life of approximately 1,500 to 2,000 hours and lacks modern wireless features like built-in Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.
