InFocus ScreenPlay 7210 Review

Projector Central has a review of the InFocus ScreenPlay 7210 DLP projector. It has a resolution of 1280×720 and uses TI’s relatively new DarkChip3 with a contrast ratio of 2800:1. It has a manual focus and zoom, but no DVI or HDMI ports. But it does have an M1-DA port, and you’ll have to buy a DVI to M1-DA adaptor from InFocus for $97 if you want to use DVI. It has a 5x speed 7 segment colour wheel. It retails for $6,999 MSRP.

One of the problems of DLP projectors is their black levels, and this one suffers too:

Contrast on the Screenplay 7210 is excellent, making even the darkest scenes easy on the eyes. Shadow details pop. However, blacks are not as solid as they can be with the DarkChip3. We would have preferred a bit deeper black level. Dark areas of the image also tend to show a substantial amount of dithering, which can become distracting in some cases.

The 7210 uses the new Faroudja FLI2310 DCDi chipset and the scaling is excellent. Projector Central seemed quite impressed with this projector:

The ScreenPlay 7210 is another solid performer from InFocus, and one of the first affordable offerings using TI’s new DarkChip3. For the money, it delivers an impressive viewing experience. While it has its quirks, price-performance is excellent, and it is destined to be a leading contender in the high performance segment of the home theater market.

The 7210 uses the 720p chip from TI with DarkChip3, for reduced space between mirrors. Also, the 720p/DarkChip3 has reduced dimple size over the HD2+ chip, for even better image quality. […]
