Our take
The InFocus IN134 is the standard-throw XGA member of the IN13X family, not the short-throw IN134ST. InFocus's manual associates IN134 with native 1024 × 768, gives a 1.2–12.02 m focus range, and provides model-specific projection charts. Its 100-inch XGA example needs roughly 3.95–4.40 m of lens distance. The exact source packet does not establish an ANSI output value. That makes this an option for a measured presentation room when XGA is enough, but it is not a documented high-output recommendation based on the listing title's 4000-lumen claim.
Slides and standard classroom or meeting setups where XGA is sufficient and the room has throw distance.
Do not choose it for ultra-short placement, a confirmed Full HD image, a brightness threshold that requires an ANSI rating, or a room that cannot provide conventional throw distance.
Pros & cons
What could work for you, and what to consider before buying.
What works in its favor
- InFocus's family manual expressly distinguishes the IN134 from the different IN134ST model.
- Native XGA and the 100-inch placement chart give a concrete basis for matching an office or classroom layout.
- Manual focus and conventional source connections support a familiar presentation workflow.
What to weigh up
- The reviewed exact-model sources do not establish comparable ANSI output.
- Native XGA has fewer pixels than WXGA or Full HD widescreen projectors.
- The candidate listing's 4000-lumen figure is not transferred from the IN134ST short-throw variant.

What the features mean for you
Do not confuse IN134 with IN134ST
The IN13X manual includes several related devices and warns that features vary by model. It names the XGA IN134 separately from the XGA IN134ST, whose lens is short throw. This distinction changes room fit, so the model suffix matters. The candidate title says IN134; this review uses only facts assigned to that model and does not borrow the short-throw page's brightness or installation details. Before buying a used unit, compare the label on its chassis with the product name and make sure the manual and any replacement lamp match the same model.
Match XGA to the content
The family manual identifies XGA at 1024 × 768 for IN134. That 4:3 image format is a practical choice for many slides and older presentation sources, but it does not provide the pixel detail of a native widescreen Full HD projector. Text size, viewing distance, and the source material all affect readability. For a meeting room, consider the smallest type that must remain legible and the seating distance before selecting this model. The manual also lists supported higher video timings, but accepted input formats should not be treated as a higher native panel resolution.
Measure a conventional placement
InFocus's chart associates the IN134 with a standard lens. For a 100-inch 4:3 image, the manual's chart shows a projection distance of about 3.95 to 4.40 m. The range gives a more useful room-planning starting point than a generic 'large screen' promise. Measure from the lens to the screen plane and allow for mount position, cable access, and clearance. The manual discusses focus and zoom controls, but the reviewed source packet does not establish optical lens shift. Set the projector square to the screen rather than relying on digital geometry adjustments to compensate for a poorly placed mount.
Treat brightness as an open question
The candidate title advertises 4000 lumens, but the readable exact-model source packet does not verify an ANSI figure for the standard IN134. The surfaced InFocus product page that states 4000 lumens is for IN134ST, a different projector. Those values should not cross model boundaries. Because brightness is a major factor in a classroom or meeting space, check the correct IN134 datasheet before choosing it for ambient-light conditions. This profile keeps ANSI output unknown rather than repeating a seller headline. A used lamp projector also depends on the specific lamp's age and condition, which documentation alone cannot establish.
Plan a wired presentation source
The exact manual's control and connection instructions support a conventional presentation arrangement with a computer or other external source. Confirm the particular unit's ports, power cord, remote, and adapters; family manuals can show connections that vary across submodels. No internal battery or app platform is documented for IN134, so plan for mains power and an external source. A streaming stick can be used only if its own compatibility and power needs are handled. Before a classroom or meeting, check resolution settings, audio routing, and cable length at the intended equipment position. This is source-based guidance, not a hands-on product test.
What else to compare
Epson PowerLite 98 is another XGA presentation model with its own documented 1.48–1.77 throw; BenQ LW500 provides native WXGA and an explicit ANSI figure.
Before you buy
What is the IN134's native image format?
InFocus identifies the standard IN134 as XGA with native 1024 × 768 resolution.
Is the IN134 an ultra-short-throw model?
No. InFocus lists a conventional distance chart for IN134 and separates the short-throw IN134ST variant.
Can I rely on the 4000-lumen title claim?
Not from the exact source reviewed here; the surfaced 4000-lumen page is for IN134ST, not the standard IN134.
How far away is a 100-inch image?
The manual's 4:3 IN134 chart shows approximately 3.95–4.40 m for a 100-inch diagonal image.

The decision
Choose IN134 only when a standard XGA projector fits the measured room and the buyer can verify the correct model's output and lamp condition.
