Verdict

The InFocus Pinnacle Challenger is a native Full HD (1920x1080) LED projector featuring a brightness of 300 ISO lumens and a 2500:1 contrast ratio. It is powered by a MediaTek MTK9629 SoC with 2GB of RAM and 32GB of storage, running on the licensed Google TV 12 OS with built-in Netflix and Google Play Store access. Key characteristics include a wide DCI-P3 colour gamut for vibrant visuals and a unique integrated panoramic cloud bracket that facilitates floor-to-ceiling projection. Its main pros are the seamless setup provided by autofocus, auto keystone correction, and Intelligent PTZ Calibration, as well as modern connectivity with Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, and HDMI 2.1 (eARC). Cons include a relatively modest 300-lumen brightness that may struggle in well-lit environments and a single 5W internal speaker that might require external audio for a more immersive cinematic experience.
