Re: 1080p Front Projectors
This report is from ProjectorReviews.com:
This guy is very FP savvy and I like his reviews: Here's the actual link to his CEDIA report (well worth the read) and a few snippetts:
http://www.projectorreviews.com/Home...mCEDIA2006.asp
In that link he has links for his 720p CEDIA report and a link for 1080p CEDIA stuff...

Just one 720p home theater projector! Panasonic demonstrated their new PT-AX100U projector, in two rooms. The first demo room, a fully darkened theater, and the second in more of a family room environment with the ability to vary the brightness widely to see how the PT-AX100U performed. The projector looked great with movie content in the dark, and had the brightness to handle moderate ambient light, in the other room.

Moving up one step in quality, Optoma's HD73 home theater projector is replacing the Optoma HD72, one of my all time favorite projectors. With an anticipated selling price of $1999 when it starts shipping in November, it is rated 30% brighter than the HD70 and offers a number of improvements in image quality. No doubt it will prove to be a worthy successor to what has been the best under $2000 DLP projector on the market.

The HD7300, is replacing the HD7100. The HD7100 has been, by far the least expensive home theater projector to sport the Darkchip3 DLP processor. New for the HD7300, is an outboard processor featuring Gennum VXP processing. Gennum's processing has been key to the excellent reviews that Marantz's higher end VP-12S4 has received (including ours). The HD7300, however, is expected to sell for under $3000, while the Marantz has been selling for almost $15,000 and has just dropped its price to $10,999. The HD7300 looks to be a superb bargain, for those looking for the richest colors and blackest blacks in a 720p resolution projector.

Over 40 Hot New 1080p Home Theater Projectors - By Manufacturer, With Comments:
Images of many of these projectors will be added over the next few days.
As mentioned in the Overview, 1080p projectors are here - in force, and many at surprsingly low prices (starting at $4499)!
Panasonic, Epson and Mitsubishi are going to slug it out for the king of the 1080p LCD based projectors. Just about every other 1080p projector is DLP, either single or three chip, with the exception of a few LCOS projectors from Sony, JVC and Dreamvision.

The 1080p summary is a longer one so I'll let you all read that.  Give it a look as there's plenty of top notch FP options for us whether it be 720p or 1080p.
