When you look at 720 or 1080p material on 740 projector, I would say that
720 resolution is good enough. I have seen these 1080p projectors and
they are'nt
that much better. If you look Blue-ray Gladiator for example in 720,
there's not so much difference
compared to 1080p.
.
I own Sanyo Z4 and its still better projector than the most in a same
category (Z5 is a waste of time).
And yes, I allways enjoy my movies in a darkness :)

The problem is not to get a projector that is bright enough - the
problem is to get it dark enough! As I understand it, the contrast
ratio of modern projectors is very good but they still appear to be
made for corporate Power Point presentations in well lit rooms. In
these environments it must be difficult to get black spots really
black. I still recommend that you turn off the lights and close the
blinds if you want to enjoy a good movie. Preferably, ask your
favourite partner to join you on the couch too. :)

This looks awesome and everything I have read about it is
amazing so far . Go to www.Circuitcity.com and read the user
reviews , just for starters .
Right now there's a $200 mail-in rebate offer too . Wow !!
Supports HDMI/S-Video/Component/Composite/VGA/RS 232
720P/1080i/P 480/576 NTSC/PAL/Secam
Well , OK , so now we start to render to this format (720P)
so that we can view our disease on a 10 foot/3.3 meter
screen .
Yep , dual-quad cores ...
Will V6 help out with HD rendering hurdles ? (hope so)
cheers !

I have been targetting the optoma HD-70 for a year now, don't have the
moey yet : DLP2, HDMI and 1080p
It's the best choice because the DLP are more luminous with less lumens
than LCD.
Never buy an LCD projector, it always creates hot spot. And it takes
much more lumens (thus, the lamp is more expensive).
I have a Hitachi projector 800*600 LCD support 1080i for 4 years now.
Even if the quality is not fully there it's still better than
watching/playing on a 56" screen.
Don't be affraid by the price of the lamp it's only 160$ on the internet
while in the store it's 500$.
The only problem with all projectors (the same problem with television
of any technologies) : after 600 hours of lamp time the luminosity of
the lamp will start to fade slowly (the lamp will probably never dies,
just fade until you get tired of it)
After 2500-3000 hours the image quality will really suffer. Lower
luminosity of the lamp means lower color, the color will not be vibrant
anymore.
Fact about projectors :
- You can watch a movie in broad day light, or with all the lamp in the
room turned on. (any projector today has enough luminosity so you don't
need to watch in the dark.
-You can project on any white wall or surface without any loss of quality.
-Projectors are more comfortable to watch than any other form of
television/lcd : because the light is indirect.
-If you don't like big screen, just put it closer to the wall.
-Projectors are cheaper than any lcd/plasma/retroprojection tv.
-Projectors support a wide variety of format and input (any pc
resolution, any videoformat and resolutions).
-Projectors don't need any installation or rig
-The angle of projection is so pronounced that you can sit at 2 feet
from the screen without casting any shadows.
-Projectors are all portable and verrrrry small and light.
-If you paint your room a dark color, it will increase the contrast an
image quality.
The trick to get always a good image quality : use the (whisper mode or
the mode to reduce lamp luminosity and increase lamp time) for the first
1000 hours then use the full luminosity mode until the lamp fade too
much or dies.
I am still amazed that people are still buying expensive ugly 56"
televisions. 56" is too small for humans.
1080i or 1080p downscaled to 720p looks better than 720p signal.
1080i is better than 720p If you don't agree you don't know anything
about video and images.
