[QUOTE="TJ Cornish, post: 47383, member: 162"] Re: Projector opinions I agree that high resolutions are lost as you go back from the screen. I will say that 16:9 is the future - even most laptops are heading in this direction, and IMO this is a bigger deal than the resolution. Your point here is relevant - if your projected image is a different shape than the projector, you're throwing away a chunk of your output. Is it better to buy a 4:3 projector and have it work well for 4:3 sources today but struggle more and more as content continues to shift to 16:9 (and that 4000 lumen projector quickly turns into a 3000 lumen projector when cropped to 16:9), or buy a projector in a 16:9 format today? I'm excited to get my projector today and see what $1300 buys. I expect to be impressed, since my baseline is a 7 year old Canon 1400X1050 projector of similar brightness. [/QUOTE]
