I am trying to decide between these to projectors. I know the Epson 720 is only 720p vs 1080p for the Mitsubishi, but I have heard a lot of good things about the Epson and there is a great deal out there on both of them. Essentially I can get the Epson for $1,100 with a free bulb and the Mitsubishi for $1,400.
The Epson on paper looks to have a higher contrast (10,000:1 vs 7,500:1) and higher brightness (1600 vs 1000) lumens.
I am projecting an 85-95" image onto a wall and my seating is fixed at 10 feet 11 inches from the wall. Not sure what the calculation is for whether added resolution from 720p to 1080p will make a difference in my case based on my seating distance/projected image.
I am mainly feeding Xbox 360, HD-DVD, and over-the-air HD.
I really care about gaming from the 360 and also the occasional HD-DVD - I will also be watching sports via over-the-air HD.
Any comments on the HC 720 and or Mitsubishi on which is the better projector for what I need? Any experience with 360/PS3 gaming on the Epson or Mitsubishi?
Thanks in advance.
