I know this sounds a stupid question, but I've never seen a demo of a HD projector and they are not as easy to find working in a store as you might think. I own an old Hitachi which has seen very little use the last few years snce the display, though of course big, is miles inferior to our home LCD.
Just for the hell of it recently though I plugged my laptop into it for what I call "low fidelity night" playing music videos off Youtube. It was actually a lot of fun to watch them on the big screen while the HD ones, which also offer a higher bit rate, didn't sound half bad either.
So simple question, will a HD projector playing a 720p or better file, have competitive quality to 42" LCD/Plasma? The screen is typical home theatre size, some 2metres or so, and I'm particularly curious if the the trademark "screenmesh" or whatever thay call it quality of older displays will disappear with a HD projector. I'm not after gobsmacking high end picture quality, just a display that isn't so clearly inferior to the TV.
Thanks,
