1350099	2013-07-29 05:08:00	Looking at a replacement projector - it's for a church, so light multimedia and mostly PowerPoint use... Want something bright, and under $1300. Seem to have narrowed it down to these two. www.dove.co.nz www.dove.co.nz Price difference is negligible, but one is 1024x768 and one is 1280x800. Surely the 1280x800 one can do 1027x768 too, so I'm baffled as to what the point of Viewsonic even making the 1024x768 one is. Am I missing something? Thanks.	wratterus (105)

1350101	2013-07-30 00:41:00	Kind of my thought too. Native res doesn't mean a lot on projectors does it?	wratterus (105)
1350102	2013-07-30 01:04:00	Well, my experience of them, had 800x600 VGA highest output, also have a 1025x768 XGA at work which wont go higher either...but have seen native res ones go higher so not sure...	SolMiester (139)
1350103	2013-07-30 01:05:00	Native res is very important on a projector, in that any input signal with a resolution higher than the native will get (in most cases badly) scaled down. Some projectors will step down form their native to a lower res no problem, while others try to scale even a lower input res up to their native.	inphinity (7274)
1350104	2013-07-30 01:09:00	Right, thanks. I wouldn't have thought a projector with a native res of 1280x800 would have any difficulty doing 1024x768, but I could be wrong.	wratterus (105)
