| 642411 | 2008-02-21 08:30:00 | Hi guys. I have $800 right now and I need a HD-TV or A projector for my gaming needs. See heres the problem. For that much I can either save up a little bit for a 32 inch 720p HD-TV or get an HDMI LCD Projector (800x600 native resolution) which is hd-ready. The bulb for this projector is only around $30USD to replace and lasts 6000-8000 hours. I was thinking, I would like a crisp 1280x720 for my games, but then I thought, Is 800x600 that terrible? I'm sure the projector does some sort of upscaling since it's HD-Ready. I could also have a nice 100 inch screen =) There are the projectors specs =) FEATURES: * Model: HP-035 * Native Resolution: VGA HD (HDMI) * Brightness: 1600 Lumens * Lamp: 175 W 6,000 - 8,000 hours * Contrast Ratio: 800:1 * Input Ports: TV, AV, VGA, S-VIDEO, SGA, XGA, HD TV Function * Format Ratio: 4:3 16:9 switchable * Projection Size: 38" - 150" + * Power: 110/220/230/240 Volts --> We send you your country's standard plug and voltage * Video System: PAL/NTSC/SECAM * Keystone Correction: +/-15 degrees * 1 year warranty for projector, 3 months bulb warranty INCLUSIONS: * Remote control with batteries * Power cord * RCA Cable (Video/Audio Composite) * VGA Cable (for PC or Laptop) * Lens Cloth Cleaner * Mounting Brackets * FREE spare lamp All of you're opinions count and I would really appreciate them =) Thanks heaps. |

| 642412 | 2008-02-21 08:33:00 | The projector will do downscaling, Not upscaling. Dont be sucked in my marketing spin.HD ready means nothing. |

| 642413 | 2008-02-21 08:43:00 | So it will be worse than 800x600? | CaptainVincent (76) | ||
| 642414 | 2008-02-21 08:57:00 | no, It just means it will downscale a higher res signal into 800x600. (in reference to HD ready) If you play a movie of lower resolution then 800x600 it will display at whatever resolution its encoded in, To blow it up to fullscreen it just streches the image rather then upscale it. |

| 642415 | 2008-02-21 09:14:00 | 800x600 is pretty decent though right......Right???? XD | CaptainVincent (76) | ||
| 642416 | 2008-02-21 09:20:00 | Depends. My projector is one of the greatest things I have ever owned, I built a room around the sucker, Threw in a monster stereo and a lazyboy, Watching movies and playing games are taken to a level that I have never seen matched. But games do lack a far amount of detail copmpared to a purpose built PC screen. fwiw, Im typing this post from my "home theatre".... |

| 642417 | 2008-02-21 09:23:00 | Yeah, I think I'd rather have quality vs size than quality killing size. Personally as a projector user, how would you compare the experience of a 32 inch lcd vs a 100 inch 800x600 projector in a pitch black room. | CaptainVincent (76) | ||
| 642418 | 2008-02-21 09:26:00 | According to the seller, the projectors native resolution is 1024x768. | CaptainVincent (76) | ||
| 642419 | 2008-02-21 09:27:00 | My 32" lcd is a joke compared to my projector. Though I have me projector displaying from the floor to the roof, :thumbs: It rocks. |

| 642420 | 2008-02-21 09:33:00 | Haha thanks, But what about "this" projector, which I now found out can display up to 1024x768 pixels. I guess if I use VGA cable for my 360 at 1024x768 I won't be losing any visual quality at all? | CaptainVincent (76) | ||
