Really want a 1080p projector... any ideas
Hi guys,

As the title says I'm looking for a 1080p projector, nothing too expensive though. There seem to be loads on ebay really cheap but not sure if they are really 1080p or just "1080p" if ya get me. Any ideas would be great.

At the mo i'm using a Zalman 22" 3D monitor which is great but want a big screen experience for future viewing :o)

there are no affordable 1080p 120hz beamers yet
the ones on ebay are not real 120hz and mostly not even real 1080p

right now its either diy-beamer from a tft panel or hacking a regular beamer to allow 120hz

Ah, thought as much. Does seem too good to be true but a lot say 3D ready and 1080p etc for around £200 :(
Thanks for the reply though

wich is the difference with a Mitsu DLP HDTV 1080p ?, main difference is that projector can reach bigger screen sizes ? or better image quality in 3d ?

Well from what I've read there are some very decent 1080p projectors starting around the 1500$ mark. They're still 2D projectors though.

Cougar888, whenever you look at the specifications you should alwsays make the difference between the input resolutions (what you can throw at the projector through the DVI/VGA/Hdmi inputs) and the native resolution (the actual picture displayed).
The projector will take whatever picture it can accept and resize it so that it can display it using it's native resolution.

No £200 projector can produce a 1080p picture but you can feed them with some BluRay and they'll downsize the picture to make it work.

As far I know 1080p DLP pjs also use darkchip2 , unless its going for 15000 usd with darkchip4.

So darkchip2 is half resolution dlp chip, the rest of the million pixels is made up by wobbulation. Uhuh!

720p DLP on the other hand is native 120hz 720p darkchip3!! Way to go.
