I'm definetely no expert but for me it's hard to spot the difference between 720p and 1080p. Upgrading from standard TV to 720p is where the really big difference is.

[dutchmasterflex]

I've heard you can only really see differences from 720 to 1080 when you're viewing on screens 40" and bigger..

I'm sure you'll be able to see more when you've got 163" of screen.

This is a SETUP! In capitals!

Nice looking at 720p.... makes me wonder whether it's worth a few extra quid to go the whole 1080p :bah: We definitely will have to go with LCD/Plasma at my house though - no dedicated cinema rooms here

I think Xbox looks killer on that too :good:

That upscaling DVD player looks like it does a lot of stuff for not that much £££

[Jabba]

Well when I got that projector at Xmas, a decent 1080p one was over £10,000. I bet as you say though they will be a fraction of that price by this Xmas.

Doesn't seem worth it at those sorts of prices, but as with everything, early adopters pay the price... even though without their support the tech would get nowhere :bah:

:shock:

No words..

[Jabba]

Holy shit, thats 1920x1080p so I am not surprised that you are happy with it

That spec would have cost an easy £5,000 not so long ago, hence why I had to make do with 1280x720

The sooner you can hook that up to a HD source and post some pictures up the better.

Congratulations and I hope you have lots of fun with it (bastard )

[Jabba]

"FREE Sony PlayStation3 with early orders" you missed out then ??

Hook your PC up to it and download from the Jabba's 100+ HD movie collection

[Jabba]

Well that has to be the ultimate bargain then, and make is all the more sweeter.

[Jabba]

Maybe they replaced the model. Also remember that it will only ever look at its best at its native resolution of 1920x1080.

[Jabba]

Well you have been damn lucky then, just like your lcd monitor has a native resolution (usually the highest) and anything under that, will look horrible, (computer text especially)
