Looking for a budget home theater projector. Will 480p do for now?
I am looking to pick up a home theater projector for Christmas for the family. We have a flat screen 3 yr old 27" 4:3 CRT 480i TV right now with a really nice progressive scan dvd player. It is not upscaling but does support 480p output via 3 RCA component and plays divx videos as well.
I see alot of 0 480p projectors and all in one units at many stores like tigerdirect and newegg.
It seems like a quality 720p starts at at about 800 and goes alot higher. I really want to stay with an LCD as opposed to a dlp because of the throw distance.
As I am only going to project to a 60-70" inch screen and sit about 8 feet away, am I just fine with a 480p for now? I figure I can always upgrade to HD in about 3 years and put this one in the kids room. Or sell it on ebay for a few hundred bucks
I hate having to spend more for 720p only having to replace that later with a 1080p. I can't afford a 1080p right now.
I really like the specs on the epson home 20 but am also considering the epson 30s all in one.
We watch regular DVDs and have a Wii that max's out at 480p with component cables
