I made a lateral move from an Optoma HD72 to the Infocus IN76. These projectors have a very similar spec and street price. I switched because the HD72 required a new bulb every 900 hours. At $400 per bulb (every year) this was too much. HDTV looks great on both units. I have had both set to 120" screen in a 13x13 room with some ambient light.
The IN76 is noticeably brighter.
The IN76 was easier to setup.
The IN76 does a better job scaling DVDs up to 720p
The HD72 is slightly quieter fan noise
The IN76 has been much more reliable
The IN76 has a sexier looking case
At the time I bought the Optoma hd72 it was cheaper, but it has proven to be far more costly to operate. The IN76 prices have fallen to match the Optoma and I am much happier with it.

- The picture is stunning!
- Easy instalation
- Greate input options with HDMI/DVI
- HD video/TV looks...well it brings a tear to my eye
- Bright enough to use with "some" light
- Fills a 100" screen with ease
But
- The unit stoped working after two weeks. No power at all. Infocus customer service has been great to work with though. If you cant live without your system I recomend getting the exchange program. They recieved my faulty projector and shipped out a new one the same day.
If not for the "power" problem I would have given it 5 stars.

I just bought this projector after reading a review from projectcentral.com. I also just got a DirecTV HD DVR. I am projecting onto a 137" Dalite permawall screen in a light controlled room. The image quality with recent HD material is stunning. When looking at bright daylight images it looks like a window, with amazing detail. I am replacing an Infocus X1. I also had a Sanyo Z4 for about two weeks. The image from the Sanyo was too harsh because of the LCD (also I was sitting 1x the distance from the screen which should really be 2x for LCDs and 1.5x for DLPs).
