1080p Front projects
Audioholics has a new Q&A section to answer questions.
The question last Monday was:
1. Which DVD player would be a better match for the Sanyo (in terms of image quality)… The Denon DVD-2910 or a new Blu-ray disc player?
2. Which type of screen do you recommend (my room won’t be 100% dark but will have very, very little ambient light.) The Stewart Studiotek 130 or Grayhawk RS? What size? I am looking for that real cinema feel… My thought is between 100 and 130 inches?
3. Should I just wait for the newer (budget) projector models which will accept 1080p? I know there are some out there already but they fall above the budget category (Sony’s $8-$10k Ruby comes to mind).
I guess I would have one caveat to their answer. If the person has a dedicated TV in another room for cable/satellite, then I think it would be a good idea to buy the best 1080p projector you can afford because that is what you are dedicating this room for. If your projector will be multi-purpose (Movies/Cable/Sat), then I feel you can pass with a 720p projector.

When Panasonic will release the replacement to their 720p 900u using the latest HD5 chips from Epson, 1080p will be way more affordable than it is now, and then the 1080p against 720p dilemma will be a non-question.
