Summary: Can £800 really buy you a quality hi-def home cinema projector? According to bigscreen behemoth John Archer, indeed it can
Conclusion: Cue a reminder of the SP8600’s sub-£800 price – I expect issues like that at this price point. But I don’t expect a performance so rewarding. The InFocus is therefore a home cinema bargain of quite ridiculous proportions. Get in!
Pro : Good value and general picture quality; flexible picture settings; long warranty
Cons : Minor rainbowing; dark scenes can lack shadow detail

Summary: The InFocus ScreenPlay SP8600 is a quality projector for a budget price.

Pro : There's no doubt about it, the image is the thing that stands out the most about the InFocus SP8600. This DLP projector is capable of producing a full high-definition picture, and the 5,000:1 contrast ratio and six-segment colour wheel results in...
Cons : There's very little to dislike about the InFocus SP8600. It features an integrated speaker, but it's not really worth using unless you're desperate. The design of the projector is also a little uninspiring, but again we're nit-picking
