ok, so i've decided that, after I get my projector/panel setup up and running, my next step will be to attempt 720p.
I figure, if i can find a 1280x1024 panel, I should be all set... granted, I don't expect this project to be "on the cheap" but I'm already buying an AVT-3700 since then I can run YcBcR Component aka separate R/G/B RCA cables from my DVD player (from AV Toolbox) and so I figure, hey, if i'm spending a good bit on my up-converter, I might as well see if I can project a truly high-quality picture.
Thus far I've spent waaaay less than your average, off the shelf projector, and as long as I keep the cost down below the equiv. Epson or similar, I'll be happy (and it still beats spending $6-10,000 on a true high-end setup... as much as I want one now, the difference between a $500-1500 project and a, say, $7,500 one is, well, nothing I can shake a stick at).
Anyhow with that in mind, does anyone have recomendations for what I should do, panel wise? I'm not opposed to buying a new one (even if it means higher cost) as long as it'll do the job... but does anyone know of one that does that kind of resolution (best i've seen on the faq's / lists is 1024x768, and from what I see 720p needs 1280x720).
thx in advance!
