Below are some un-retouched (ie: original) screen shots from my InFocus X1 projector.

These shots were taken with a Canon S40 digital camera (4 Megapixel) at 1x zoom, on a tripod, from the normal 2x screen width viewing distance. A slow shutter speed was used, which has resulted in some motion blurs in the Xbox screen shots as I was unable to freeze the action. The 1024x768 PC desktop is also over exposed, so it appears significantly more blurry than real life (the text is actually clearly readable in real life - I might try and take a better shot when I am not so tired!). The images also appear slightly bowed due to the optics of the camera, whereas in actual fact the projected image is perfectly square.

The full size images hosted here were simply reduced by 50% from the raw 4 megapixel image, to a resolution of 1136x852 pixels, and exported to jpeg using Macromedia Fireworks with a 85% JPEG quality setting. No other processing of the images was performed.

Finally, my overall comment on these screen shots is that they do not do the real projected images of the InFocus X1 justice, due to the limitations of attempting to digitally photograph a projected image. In general it would be fair to say that the actual projected images appear sharper in real life than the images captured here.

To view any image at full size (1136x852), simply click on the image. If using Internet Explorer, be sure to expand the image to full size in your browser window for the best view. You do this by clicking on the full size image and pressing the square "Expand to regular size" button that appears in the lower right corner (IE by default will scale the image to fit in the window size)

	PC Desktop at 1024x768 demonstrating scaling to 800x600 DMD resolution nb: This shot was unfortunately over exposed (as can be seen from the projector about window). Therefore it appears significantly more blurry than in real life (the text is actually clearly readable in real life as the projector does the best job I have seen of scaling 1024x768 down to 800x600)
	PC Gaming on the InFocus X1. This is a shot of PC "Medal Of Honour" played at the native 800x600 projector resolution Gaming is just awesome on the X1 big screen!
	PC Gaming on the InFocus X1. This is a shot of PC "Medal Of Honour" being played at the 1024x768 PC resolution (so the projector is scaling down to 800x600 - very nicely too I might add). Note that the 800x600 jaggies visible in the previous screen shot are gone! I repeat... Gaming is just awesome on the X1 big screen!
	Xbox Gaming on the InFocus X1. This is a shot of Colin McRae 3.0 Rally for Xbox. This is using S-Video connection of 480i signal from a PAL Xbox. nb: PAL Xbox does not support progresive 480p mode using a component video lead, so an NTSC Xbox in 480p mode must look totally awesome. Note that the blurring of clock and text etc. are due to slow shutter speed, the actual viewed image appears somewhat sharper in real life. Xbox Gaming is just awesome on the X1 big screen!
	Xbox Gaming on the InFocus X1. This is a shot of Halo on Xbox. This is using S-Video connection of 480i signal from a PAL Xbox. nb: PAL Xbox does not support progresive 480p mode using a component video lead, so an NTSC Xbox in 480p mode must look totally awesome. Xbox Gaming is just totally awesome on the X1 big screen!

This is using S-Video connection of 480i signal from a PAL Xbox. nb: PAL Xbox does not support progresive 480p mode using a component video lead, so an NTSC Xbox in 480p mode must look totally awesome. Unfortunately this image has severe blurring of the moving ships due to the slow shutter speed, the actual viewed image appears somewhat sharper in real life. Sorry, I just have to repeat this... Xbox Gaming is just totally awesome on the X1 big screen!
