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.

I finally found a gaming laptop utility that’s actually worth using

The Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 sitting on a coffee table.

Nearly all gaming laptops come with bundled first-party software, and most of it isn't all that good. They tend to be poorly designed and riddled with bloatware and features that you'll never need. Armoury Crate is Asus' version of that, and while it isn't terrible, it suffers from many of those same problems.

A large number of users on Reddit have voiced their criticism of Armoury Crate, accusing it of being buggy, broken, and overly complex. Some of the most common issues include the software's cluttered user interface, promotional pop-ups, unnecessary bloatware, and the high usage of system resources. In my experience, I do find Armoury Crate's UI to be confusing, and I've also noticed that the software runs way too many background processes and services, some of which seem unnecessary.
