Front Projection Screen
Trying to decide: 720 or 1080 for front projection TV?
We will be building an enclosed home theater in the next year or so. I am thinking in terms of a screen around 96", possibly a bit larger but not too much because I don't want to have to sit on the other side of the basement. We're not super A/Vphiles: we just want a place we can watch movies like a theater. Is 1080 worth the extra money?
The bottom line is 1080p projectors are the coming standard for HD and while you will probably get a perfectly adequate picture with a 720p projector if you are buying a first projector you would be more "future proof" with1080p.
That said, it comes down to your ability/willingness to spend $$ and your degree of fussiness (i.e. for a great or just good image). Really, only you can decide. I'd suggest finding a high end A/V store that can demo both 720p and 1080p projectors ... only then will you be able to judge.
I have a 720p projector (Canon SX-60) and the image is very good. That said, if I were buying today I'd buy a 1080 projector with capacity to handle 1080p/24 frames per second.
But ... I'm in no hurry to trade. HDTV and DVDs via an upconverting DVD player look very good on our 110" screen.
One final consideration is your likelihood to invest in Blu-Ray / HD DVD or HDTV ... if you will, go for a 1080p projector, if you are unlikely to, the 720p may be a more cost effective choice.
Hope that helps.
