I have a budget of 1500 dollars. I want to know if I should get a 720p projector or a 1080p projector. The TV only has a 1000:1 contrast ratio, but the projector has a 10,000:1 contrast ratio. I know with the projector that the image is blown up, so the definition will be worse. But I still cant decide, can anyone help me. PS I am a videophile, so I dont mind if you use technical terms and descriptions.

I want a 1080p picture, but I’m wondering about the “supports up to” part of the projector’s description on a 720 projector.
In other words, if I can spend $1500 over $2500, and still have a great picture, I’ll do it.

Will the picture be distorted or lesser quality if I use the tuner in the 1080p DVD with built in tuner (Toshiba DR560) with a 720 projector?
Thanks in advance.

I am projecting onto an 80″ screen. I am going to get either a Optomo, benq w100 or infocus n72 16:9 home theater projector.
I am leaning toward the infocus as it has great reviews, better dark levels and… well looks cool. I am hooking up a HTPC, DVD (480p) and a Wii (480p). $500-600 range. I am planning to get a screen too.
I know that the standard is heading toward 1080p, but I don’t have any content that will really utilize it at this point except my htpc, but this will most likely be playing non hd divx content anyway.
I think I am better off saving my money for now and upgrading to a 1080p when my bulb burns out in 2-3 years as they will cost less. They may even something better by then as well.
I must have over 400 DVDs in 480p widescreen.
I hate when people say regular dvds look better on HD. Most of these people were comparing it to their old 480i standard tvs. Actually, I would think a 854×480 would be the ideal for dvd as it wont have to stretch it.

I am looking at getting a 1080p projector and want some recommendations. Also what is a good HD tuner to go with this projector?
