CNET UK judgement:
It's actually impossible to criticise the InFocus ScreenPlay 777. The price is obviously prohibitive, but it gives an indication not only of the pinnacle of today's home cinema, but what will very feasibly be available for under £5,000 in a few years' time. The overriding message is clear though: this is a cinematic projector so good it leaves you speechless

When they launched in the consumer market at the end of last year, they averaged around the £20,000 mark. They are now available for half the price, so while they still sit in the upper echelons of the market, it's a taste of what might be commonplace within a couple of years. Continue Reading...
