Re: So what does HD mean for projector owners?

I think my projector runs natively on 720p, so it's hardly 'top of the line', which I cant afford, but a rough comparison in the shop when i bought it put it right up with the best plasmas/lcd's they were selling at half the size, but how much difference can I expect between a standard dvd and a HD-DVD/BD?

DVD = 720 x 480p = 345,600 pixels
HDTV = 1280 x 720p = 921,600 pixels
HD DVD = 1920 x 1080p = 2,073,600 pixels
HD DVD and Blu-Ray have the ability to display 6x the resolution of DVD, and twice the resolution of HDTV broadcasts. However, 1080p projectors still cost well over $10,000 so I think you will be very happy watching HD content on 720p for the next two years.
