Infocus X10, just placed order, will do a basic owners review with photos
Despite the monster size, the image quality is reported to be very good, perhaps the best at this price point, so I took the plunge and bought it today from Dabs4work for £750 + vat. The Optoma HD800x was also in consideration but I decided on the X10.
Once I have the new PJ set up, I'll do a very basic owners review and provide some pictures.
Regards,
Tony

Ceiling mount for Infocus X10 - just ordered new PJ
Some on Ebay for £30 odd, any others worth considering? (I've just order an X10 from Dabs4work for £750 + vat).

Thanks for your link, just bought that mount. 
If it's any comfort, my room will have the projector mounted about 2 thirds back from the wall, so it's just off the center of the ceiling as I have a 6ft screen. For me, this is ample. If I put the PJ on the back wall it would look better but I'd need a bigger screen which I'd find too big for my liking (don't want to get whiplash snapping my head left and right when watching a film  ).
Thanks for your posts, 
Tony

Re: Infocus X10, just placed order, will do a basic owners review with photos
Here's some pictures taken from my old Infocus 4805, images shown are projected onto a 6ft wide draper luma screen; I'll try and get the same images off the X10 to compare side-by-side:

Congrats
What price did you get? Does he offer discounts to forum members? I assume Nik is a member as well.

I'll be interested to hear what you think too. I am bracing myself for shock when I open the box (I think it's stupid big, the huge size alone was almost enough for me to rule it out of consideration).
Mine should be with me tomorrow or Wednesday, assuming Dabs send me the PJ and not a printer or fax!

i couldnt get a discount, i did ask but he was to close to the wire, apparently infocus have put £70 onto the price, it must be true because oyyy.co.uk have put there X10's up £70 over night 
plus for the sake of the extra £30 i have piece of mind, as nik will bend over backwards to help out ... and promised i will have it tomorrow ... just hoping the mount turns up tomorrow aswell

Re: Infocus X10, just placed order, will do a basic owners review with photos
I emailed oyyy and asked if they could better £750+vat I paid and they said they could not.
Dabs, inc del & vat worked out to £889.60 althogh I did try a few smaller firms, CVS included (I'd rather have given my money to a small business than a large corp).

The X10 price has increased everywhere other than Dabs or BT !!! This is too bad.
