The W1070 hit $655 and I couldn't resist any longer. I got it installed over the weekend, just a painted on screen on the wall for our living room - i know not the best, but it's going to be it for now. I haven't done any tweaking yet, we had a family move night last night watching Annie with the kids. I'm super happy with the picture! Even on my drywall screen, it is super sharp and colors are awesome. I measured my projected image to be 126" diagonal. The kids have decided they have the coolest house in the neighborhood
NOW - turned on a hockey game for all it's large screen glory today, and I was a little disappointed. Are networks are broadcasting in 720p? On my 42" lcd it's nice and clear, but on the 126" screen i can see artifacts that look like the resolution just isn't up to snuff. It's not a screen or projector problem, the HD movie on demand we watched was fine, and even an upconverted DVD from the bluray player looked really good. Broadcast tv seems to be the weakest link?
Am I right in assuming the networks are broadcasting in lower resolution and that there's really not anything I can do about it?
Thanks for all the advice on this forum, it helped tremendously over this last year as I've been finishing the addition and planning for the projector.
