I have an Infocus X1 that's barely been used. It comes with the projector, remote control which is still in the plastic, a carrying case, all accessories (never opened), and the $15 VGA to component adapter directly from Infocus.
I am selling this because I just upgraded to a 720p DLP projector and have no use for it. The projector is going through a very common phase in an X1's bulb life and that is when the bulb will slightly pulsate but it's not very obvious. My brother and his wife were over a few weeks ago and watched Batman Returns. At the end I asked them if they noticed the bulb pulsating and they said they didn't. The reason the bulbs do this is because they have a poor arc and over time it will burn itself into its new location and work just fine. You can temporarily fix this by placing a magnet above the bulb and the pulsating disappears. This is VERY common for projectors; just look up pulsate on AVSForum.com and you'll see.
EDIT: I forgot to mention but this projector and bulb have just a tad over 300 hours on them, making them practically new. You should be able to get another 3000-3500 hours on the bulb.
I'm looking for $300 shipped for this in the original box with all accessories with insurance.
Thanks.

It is a data projector, but this particular model has Faroudja DCDi scaling built in, so it works very well as a theater projector. Resolution is 800 x 600, but I've seen this look better than a lot of 720/768 projectors. Dennis Gardner has/had one and liked it for home theater. I'm very tempted.....Tschüss

Yes sir. A very, very good data projector
I forgot to mention up top and I'm going to edit it now. This projector has just a tad over 300 hours on it (bulb and projector; bulb came with it) so it should go another 3000-3500 before the bulb needs replaced. Do the math
