HDTV Front Projector
I am in the market for an HDTV Front Projector (movie theater style). I went into a local high end TV store and my head is spinning. Can you please provide a few links to Front Projector education sites. I am a complete newbie to this area so I want to start with the basics and move from there. Before I spend a few thousand dollars, I want to be well informed. Thanks, Ron Corporate Monkey wrote:

I assume you are talking about US HDTV which is a lower res than European. On Fri, 14 Oct 2005 01:09:43 +0100, Dirk Bruere at Neopax

What I should have said is that 1280x720p was generally available rather than the higher res 1920x1080i. Not to mention my preferred option of 1920x1080p which will replace 35mm film in cinemas. IMO there's no reason why the latter should not appear quite quickly in domestic markets given the advances in DLP tech. Problem is, all this relies on content providers co-operating and storage media developing smoothly. Which is unlikely given the battle over next-gen DVDs.

At 50Hz instead of 60 like in North America and Korea/Japan, but still at the same resolution. >IMO there's no reason why [1080p] There is one reason why you will never see 1080p60 broadcast in North>should not appear quite quickly in domestic markets given the advances in DLP >tech.

America: it won't fit into the bandwidth allotted to a given channel by the FCC! That shouldn't stop displays from being 1080p, though, nor should it stop movies from being 1080p24 on HD-DVD/Blu-Ray. Or even broadcast on TV, since 1080p24 *will* fit into the bandwidth. Karyudo wrote:
