I was searching for lcd panels and found a 7" panel with a resolution of 1440x234.
I was wondering if this would be a good panel for a diy projector.

Unless you're planning on a small screen (or have very bad eyesight 
) I'd steer clear. It is another example of manufacturers exagerating the specifications. Divide 1440 by 3x to find the true resolution, 480x234 - Not good enough for a decent sized screen and DVDs imho.

My first projector was a 480X234 7" on a 3M OHP. Here's a shot from it at 100" diagonal fed with a JVC dvd player. Not great but not terrible either, better resolution than a Sony Playstation lcd.
