The utilitarian looking InFocus ScreenPlay 4805 is a very capable home theatre projector, provided that you’re looking for a projector mainly for home theatre use.

Image projection is more affordable now than ever. With prices dropping and quality increasing...

We've been impressed with InFocus' low-priced video/data projectors in the past (review on the PC Authority Web site), and were keen to see what one of its fully-featured data projectors was capable of.

Whenever PC Authority reviews a data projector, we try it out with DVDs and games, and we test entertainment projectors with PCs just to see how they handle applications other than those they’re specifically designed for.

An ongoing shortage of LCD parts - further exacerbated by a major maker's decision to halt external supply - may be partly relieved in the projection sector by products tipped for a 2004 release.

Why bother buying a big screen that takes up part of your wall, when you can buy a cheap projector and take up the entire wall?
