Infocus Litepro 580 - anyone know this LCD projector? any comments? is it any good?

[Kim Beck]

I have got a special offer on this projector, but before I go see (a
long way from home) I would like to hear some thoughts from owner or
someone who has seen it - ie. how does it compare to the new breed
from Sharp??

The price I have been offered is 23000 Dkr - about 2300Ł including
xtra lamp and a 2*2meter screen...

>During 1996 / 97 the LitePro 580 ( Epson 3000 ) was the best selling
portable LCD projector in the world. It was specifically designed for
the business market for computer based presentations running in VGA, 640
x 480 resolution. With the introduction of SVGA, 800 x 600, projectors
during 1997 the 580 and it's equivalents were quickly superseded.

It was never intended to be used for home movies and at best the quality
of the video image is OK.

Don't go too far to see it, specially at that price.
