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.
