what people dont realize is that the bulk of inexpensive projectors out there are 800x600 at 4:3 screen ratio, and when someone watches a movie in the 16:9 format they only get 480 line of vertical lines any way. you end up wasting pixels on a black border. my take on this projector is that it is fine if you were looking at the above anyway.
what i recommend is that you must buy a projector that is at least hd 1280x720 at 16:9 to get your moneys worth. these can be purchased for well under a $1000. Benq w500 is a great model, $170 replacement bulbs, and initial cost of only $840.
