Reviewing the IN72 was a pleasant surprise. The new IN72 was released two months ago, and has been the long awaited replacement for the aging Screenplay 4805. The Screenplay 4805 has been around for a very long time for a home theater projector - two full years old, this month. Most home theater projectors tend to have a life of about 12 to 15 months.

The IN72, actually, its formal name is the Play Big IN72, shares the same sleek styling, and most of the features as the other two new InFocus home theater projectors, the higher end IN76, reviewed in April, and the IN74EX which offers resolution between the other two.

With the IN76 review, we found it to be an excellent projector, but priced at a premium relative to the competition. The Big Play IN72 is also priced above the competition, but this time, it looks like InFocus has packed the projector with enough performance for many to justify the extra dollars. More on this in the summary section.
