I have a 720p projector that projects onto an 84" screen.
I keep seeing these people buying 720p and now 1080p TVs that are under 50". Quite frankly I don't see why.
I am using an upconverting DVD and the images look great to me. My brother has a 62" 1080i DLP witha PS3 and some blue ray. There is a difference with the blu-rays, but not enough for me to jump to a new standard, pay $300 for a player, twice as much for discs and have hardly any content available.
It seems like most people I know still are using sub 36" TVS.
I keep on reading about this format war, but it doesn't seem like anyone is really buying the product.
I am wondering if Blu-Ray and HD DVD will be like the old large laser discs that became a niche until DVD finally replaced the VHS.
I think the biggest hurdle to HD is the bandwidth necessary to donwload them. I have begun watching DVDs online through netflix and love it. I can't imagine waiting to download an HD mpeg-4 video...
