I just decided to buy this projector for my 360... NEC vt670. It does display HD but i was wondering how it can do that when it does not have the component input. Can someone help me out? Thanks a lot

[woofis]

did you already buy it or no?

[jmarine]

I'm about to but am waiting on what i hear from you guys.

Just found it has an adapter for component. Guess ill be buying this one. I saw it in action at a friends house but was not very interested until i came home today and decided it would be cool as hell to have in my media room.

your gonna need to convert all signals to vga its as simple as that....this isnt a home theater projector its probably ment for the office

[twistedsymphony]

actually that projector DOES support HD resolutions...

As for needing to "convert" to VGA... no

Most projectors (95% of the ones I've seen) use the VGA port for component inputs also. Meaning you need a simple adapter to input component video.

Looking at the specs it's a pretty run of the mill LCD projector, meaning it's reasonably priced, has a decent resolution, is rediculously bright and has total shite for a contrast ratio. Which pretty much boils down to everything you watch on it will be washed out. Also it doesn't have ANY digital inputs to speak of which pretty much meand you wont be legally watching any movies in HD on it ever.

you could do much better within that price range if you shopped around. At very least something with a better contrast ratio and a digital input

My current favorite projector is the InFocus X3

or if you're hell bent on getting an LCD over a DLP

^BTW that one supports ACTUAL HD resolutions  

If you want to compair it to the one your talking about:

the two other projectors I linked blow it right out of the water in just about ever aspect and are priced lower too.

if you want my opinion your spending more money than you need to. i with twisted on this. i recommened infocus. best projectors for home theator. i have the infocus screenplay 4805. but i also do recommend the x3. both great projectors.

wouldnt it be best to get a projector that supports widescreen natively?

is the X3 really worth trading off native widescreen for a little more resolution?does it still have the fancy fajodoramajiggy de-interlacing chip in it

I'll second the SP 4805 it is the X3 but the specs are tweaked for home theater. I have had mine for nine months now. Check out this site...http://www.projectorcentral.com/
