I recently upgraded my projector, and I'm looking to sell the old one. It still works great, I've had no problems with it at all. It's a Infocus Screenplay 4805. I recently replaced the bulb and it has roughly 120 hours on it so it's practically new (manufacturer claims 3000 hours for the life of a this particular bulb) I've had an xbox 360 hooked up to this projector and it looks great. It has a native widescreen resolution and will display a picture of up to 1080i. (not natively, for more information about native resolution vs maximum check out this article ).
The projector has inputs for Component, s-video, vga, and DVI. I use it to watch HDTV from Time Warner and I think it looks great. This is absolutely the cheapest way to get a huge pictures. No doubt.
Here's a review and a couple of pictures. Still photos really can't do this thing justice. If anyone is interested, you can come over and check it out before buying it.

Also when I upgraded to the other projector it came with a new in the box 76" 16 x 9 screen that I don't plan on using. I will sell it as a bundle with the projector or separately if anyone is interested. I don't know much about it, but I can take pictures if anyone's curious. It just arrived today and I haven't had a chance to look at it yet.] 11/28/2006 1:36:25 PM |

Well I just dropped $300 on the replacement bulb. so no lower than that for sure. Obviously I wouldn't mind getting more. Of course I realize this is TWW, but I've seen lower quality projectors go for more money than I think they're worth on here recently.
$500 takes the screen and projector home today. 11/28/2006 1:47:01 PM |

3-500 is a pretty damn good deal for this on a new bulb, with the screen. Does it come with the ceiling mount kit too? 11/28/2006 4:02:31 PM |

I was hoping to keep the mount if it fits my new projector. But I bought the thing on ebay for $5 so if that's the dealbreaker I can uninstall it, I'd just rather not unless I have to. but if it doesn't fit my new projector, I'll include it.

Make me an offer. I'm not opposed to splitting them up.11/28/2006 4:24:30 PM |

ill have to measure my projected screen size, but 40$ would be my offer. 11/28/2006 8:08:58 PM |

What do you think would be a reasonable offer? 11/28/2006 8:40:59 PM |
El Nachó special helper 16370 Posts user info edit post |
^^But the box clearly says the screen is a $300 value.
Right now I've got some pretty decent interested parties lined up that are looking to buy the whole set in my price range. I'll be sure to update everyone accordingly.
^Right now just going off the current interest being shown I don't think I'd accept anything much less than $450 for the set. I think $500 is still a good deal. So that's the ballpark we're in right now.] 11/28/2006 8:41:19 PM |

I agree, for both the projector and the screen you should expect around $450 if not more. Regretfully I cannot afford this luxury at this time. But if everything goes wrong and you must let it go at any price I'll take it for $350. PM me if this eventuality becomes real. Thanks ! 11/28/2006 9:03:05 PM |

I'll keep you in mind.
I just found out my ceiling mount kit doesn't fit the new projector (of course) so I have no use for the old one. So the winner will get it included as well. 11/28/2006 9:05:15 PM |

BTW, either I seriously forgot how much I paid, or they've significantly raised the prices since I bought it, but the replacement ceiling mount just cost me $35 on ebay. One exactly like the one I will be including with this projector now costs $35 as well.
Please keep this in mind with bidding. I have 2 people that have expressed interest in coming to see the projector this week, so I'll most likely hold off on ending the auction for a couple of days at least. 11/28/2006 10:19:10 PM |

Nice projector. Not very loud and you can buy boxes that make it even quiter, not that it needs it. 11/29/2006 9:38:04 AM |

they are $575 plus shipping brand new remanufactured on e-bay.
But yes, I didn't know they had dropped down in price that much.
I'm local and will deliver for free and don't forget the included ceiling mount.

As far as I know all offers are serious. I put it up on craigslist as $500 firm and I've got 3 emails of interest so far. So basically at this point it's the first person to claim it at $500 that gets it. 12/1/2006 1:14:02 PM |
