A short and not-so-sweet piece of news from InFocus today, as the credit crunch and weak pound claims another victim.
The American company has announced new prices for its projectors, some of which receive fairly considerable price increases after picking up Awards earlier this year.
As of today the approximate retail prices (inc VAT) are as follows: the IN80 is up to £1599 from £1300, the IN81 is now £2599 from £1999, the IN82 goes to £2999 from £2750 and the IN83 is up to £3999 from £3500.
We suggest if you're in the market for an InFocus you get on the hunt quick and find a dealer who's yet to up its prices...

I wonder how logical this is. With people LESS likely to buy luxury goods in an economical down turn, is it really sensible to INCREASE the price of the unit by such an extensive margin.

Im sure they expect a Sales Boom ?

the uplifts are completly random no fixed percentage ranging from 22 to 30% - big big jumps - sure don't believe they were ever selling them at a loss and even with increasing costs big jump!

And to answer the obvious question - yes, the IN80 would have won the Award even if it'd cost £1599 back then. It remains excellent value.
Still, I bet people who took advantage of InFocus discounts at our Show are very happy to have paid just £1170 for theirs....
