Well some people told me that I won't be able to get "true" High Definition since the resolution of the projector is only 800 x 600. Is that true?
If that is the resolution your projector displayed "natively" then yes you are NOT getting true HD... Your projector needs a native resolution of 1280x720 or higher for true HD... Your projector probably "supports" HD which means it can get the signal then down sample it to 800x600 (probably closer to 800x533 since it will be letter-boxed) So really you're only getting slightly better then what's called EDTV or Enhanced Definition (480p)

i think HD is best in 1080i format... i believe the specs are 1080 x 720. i could be wrong about the 720 part, its whichever goes with the 1080 thing
720p is often considered a superior format to 1080i. 720p is 1280x720 progressive, and 1080i is 1920x1080 interlaced. I'd recommend reading my sticky topic about the different AV formats.

Meh... depends on the TV IMO.

I agree, but 720p is often preferred because it's progressive
unless you're using a CRT 720p is usually superior to 1080i.

HD resolutions start at 1024x768p i believe....
No, they don't
QUOTE(sbeeze @ Apr 13 2006, 11:26 AM)
alot of lcd's and almost all plasmas native at this.
No, they aren't
QUOTE(sbeeze @ Apr 13 2006, 11:26 AM)
either way even at 800x600 it should look really good.
It looks better then 480p, but it doesn't hold a candle to true 720p
I would suggest you read the stickies before you go giving people advice on a topic you obviously know very little about.

ok well i guess samsung lies when they market there plasma HDTV with a 1024x768p HD resolution.and the fact that best buy site has alot of plasmas marked HD with a native of 1024x768p of but i guess there all lying too?
yep. Anything below 1280x720 is EDTV. A 1024x768 set is an EDTV set.
