HDTV Magazine takes a gander at 1080p, and what projectors display it. Why would you want a 1080p display? First off, you need a large display. If you’re gonna be watching your HDTV material on a display no larger than a wedding photo, then 1080p isn’t for you. Actually, aat wedding photo size, you probably wouldn’t even need HDTV at all. But you get the idea - 1080p needs a large display. At typical viewing distances, that’s larger than your typical 65″ rear projection television.

But what about content? Some HD pundits complain about the whole 1080p trend, citing the lack of 1080p content. But now that HD DVD and BD are coming out, there will be plenty of 1080p content floating around, if you choose to snatch it. And later this year the PS3 will come out, which will supposedly support 1080p, though from what I understand, only a few of the initial batch of games will support 1080p, with most going for 720p.

The HDTV Magazine article also overviews some 1080p projectors from JVC, Sony, and elsewhere.
