PC Advisor in the UK gave the ScreenPlay SP8600 home theatre projector its "Gold" award and an overall rating of 4.5 out of 5 stars. They said "We've seen budget 1080p projectors before, but few are able to offer the level of quality and features required to go beyond mere resolution and deliver smooth life-like moving images. The InFocus SP8600 takes such tasks in its stride..."

"A very good chance of being the biggest projector bargain of 2011"

TrustedReviews.com evaluated the InFocus ScreenPlay SP8600 home theatre projector and gave it a 9/10 overall rating and a perfect 10/10 rating for value. "If InFocus impressed us with the value of its excellent SP8604 recently, it’s left us utterly awe-struck by the bargain potential of its SP8600. Put simply, a projector capable of pictures this good has no right whatsoever to be on sale for comfortably - very comfortably - under £1000. Not that we’re complaining, of course."
