1080p capable vs 1080p native projector

Recommended Posts

Projector 1-

720p native, 1080p capable input signal.

2000 Lumens 3000:1 contrast

Price - 750

Projector 2-

1080p native

1100 Lumens 14000:1 contrast

Price - 1350

Condition-

Both screens can project a 96" image I want onto my white painted drywall, no screen!

No other lighting can tamper with the viewing area.

Viewing distance is 10 ft away.

I DO watch 1080p video but only on a 720p native 51" rear projection TV.

I have only watched 1080 natively on my 22" lcd.

I love the quality of the 720 but am undecided on which to go with.

On my white wall, is projector 1 strong enough to display quality imaging?

Will 1080p be better looking than 720 on 96" image 10ft away?

These are the things I'm curious about.

I love the quality of the new 1080p lcds/plasmas and looking for something pretty darn close if not better with one of these choices, definitely not something worse than 720p rear projection.

1080p capable simply means it will accept the signal, but then down convert it to 720p. Most 720p projectors already do this, 1080p is just a buzz word recently, so anything that is labeled with it is guaranteed to sell.

Personally though, 720p is not out of date, but close. Buy 1080p.

i second johnecone you just gotta remember you still need the source of your video to be broadcasting 1080p to get the full picture and don't skimp too much on the wire connecting them two together but don't over pay for it too.

get projector 2... and a nice blu ray player

Kind of off topic, but I was reading around and saw that they are starting to ship 2160p in 2015. It is quite far away though.
