Third-party reviews

What customers like about InFocus IN5544

  • High brightness of 6,500 lumens (tested up to 6,575) making it suitable for rooms with ambient light.
  • Exceptionally sharp and uniform focus across the entire screen.
  • Flexible setup options including motorized focus, motorized zoom, and vertical lens shift.
  • Excellent video playback and skin tone reproduction.
  • Easy maintenance with quick lamp and filter replacement procedures.
  • Fast startup time of approximately 13 seconds.
  • Logically designed, easy-to-follow menu system.

What customers don't like about InFocus IN5544

  • Discontinued product, making it harder to find new units or recent support.
  • Relatively short lamp life of 2,000 to 3,000 hours compared to modern laser projectors.
  • Color accuracy issues specifically with greens, which can appear slightly yellow.
  • Noisy operation at 42-46 dBA, though considered standard for its high-output class.
  • High power consumption during operation (approx. 540W).
  • Lacks modern connectivity and features like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or built-in smart TV apps.
  • The 2,500:1 contrast ratio is lower than many competing or newer models.

Verdict

The InFocus IN5544 is a high-performance, large-venue 3LCD projector featuring a native WXGA (1366 x 800) resolution and an exceptional brightness of 6,500 ANSI lumens, making it ideal for bright environments and large screens up to 603 inches. Its main characteristics include motorized lens shift, focus, and zoom, alongside flexible installation via seven interchangeable lens options and a robust 10,000-hour air filter. Key pros include vibrant color reproduction from its 3-chip inorganic LCD technology, extensive connectivity with HDMI, DVI-D, and 5 BNC inputs, and specialized features like 24/7 continuous operation and lens shift memory. Notable cons include its status as a discontinued lamp-based model with a relatively low 2,500:1 contrast ratio, a high operating noise level of up to 42 dB, and high power consumption of 540W.
