InFocus Projectors Get DisplayLink USB

By Geoff Duncan June 11, 2008

InFocus Corporation has rolled out two new projectors that incorporation DisplayLink USB technology to make connecting to a PC simple and straightforward—without worrying about switching video modes, finding little switches, or installing drivers. InFocus says the new IN11100 series business projectors and IN3100 series multimedia projectors are the first to include DisplayLink USB technology.

“By combining InFocus’s expertise in projection with DisplayLink’s skills in USB-connectivity, we’ve developed industry-leading products that make projection more user-friendly,” said Infocus CEO Bob O’Malley, in a statement. “Our intent is to eliminate the frustration users associate with projector set-up.”

The projectors include DisplayLink’s Auto Install feature, which automatically installs appropriate software onto PCs when they’re connected to the projectors via USB. The software offers multi-display capabilities, so users can operate multiple projectors and show multiple presentations using just a single USB 2.0 port on their computer.

The IN1110 series projectors offer 2000 lumens of brightness, an 1,800 contrast ratio, and weigh just 2.7 pounds (so they’re easy to move around), while the IN3100 series offer 3,000 to 5,000 lumens of brightness and a 2,000:1 contrast ratio. The IN1100s carry a suggested price of $1,099 and should be available in early August, with the IN3100 series starting around $1,499 and going on sale June 30.

Microsoft Word free trial: Get a month of service for free

A person using MS Word.

It may not feel like it, but Microsoft Word is probably one of the most popular word processors out there, along with Google Docs, and pretty much everybody has likely used it at some point, regardless if you prefer Microsoft Office to Google Docs. Of course, if you want to get your hands on it these days, you're going to have to buy it as part of Microsoft Office, as opposed to getting it as a standalone product like you used to. While you do have to pay for the subscription, you can get Microsoft Word for a month using the free trial before it reverts to a paid subscription. Also, be sure to check out some of these useful Microsoft Words tricks and even how to run Microsoft Office on the Quest 3.
Is there a Microsoft Word free trial?

Microsoft Word is actually part of the company's wider Office app suite. Now known simply as Microsoft 365 (formerly Microsoft Office), Microsoft's enterprise software is available in a number of different packages that are now subscription-based; the company has retired the older bundles that were available for a one-time payment. That means if you want a Microsoft Word free trial, you'll need to sign up for the Microsoft 365 trial.
