While 3D may be dominating nearly all of the HDTV talk these days, the hot technology among front projection aficionados is LED projectors. The Runco Q-750i is such a projector, employing Runco’s own InfiniLight LED illumination technology.
There are two LED projectors in the QuantumColor lineup, the Q-750i and Q-750d. The more expensive Q-750d features an outboard video processor and HDMI switcher, whereas the more affordable Q-750i has both its video processing and inputs housed internally.
The Q-750i is a large projector by today’s standards measuring in at approximately 22 inches deep by 10 inches tall and weighing a hefty 49 pounds.The Q-750i has all of the modern connection options one could ask for or need, including two HDMI 1.3a inputs, two component inputs (one RCA the other BNC), a single RGB monitor input, an S-video input and one composite video input.

Equipment Review: Runco LS-5 DLP Front Projector
Runco has hit it out of the park with this product. One could even worry that they may have cannibalized some high-end business with the extraordinary value proposition offered here. To those who thought the rarified air of high-quality front projection was filled with only products made from unaffordium, think again. This may be the first time “Runco” and “very affordable” have been in the same sentence. Like most current-generation DLPs, it’s small, lightweight (22 pounds), and relatively quiet. To get visibly higher image quality than offered by the LS-5, be prepared to spend four to five times its retail price. Spot-on colorimetry, ruler flat gray scale, high-quality optics, and every “tweak” necessary for an ultimate calibration, and all for less than what we paid for a decent flat panel last year, yields a new high water mark for both performance and value … … it does seem like a non-sequitur, doesn’t it.
