The native resolution is only 854 x 480 pixels. I would highly recommend Sanyo PLV-Z4. The native resolution is 1280 x 720 pixels. Secondly, you can read up on Da-Lite screen from their website http://www.da-lite.com/. But I would like to recommend Stewart screen. Lastly I would recommend you read up all you can on this site http://www.projectorcentral.com/. All the best in your selection and welcome to the Home Theater Projector experience.

It looks terrible because the image does not have any more available detail to be revealed in increasing its viewable size. Simply put you don’t see anything you missed before, no extra sparkle in your kid’s eyes or more detail in their hair, you just see blur. Now assuming you want to view an image in a normal room 480p (which is standard definition, not high definition) will have a maximum useful viewing image size of about 80-100cm (which is 30-35 inches or so I think). Sure, you can blow the image up as big as you want but the only ‘advantage’ is that you no longer need to sit closer to the screen to see the image properly, but if you do sit closer to the screen you see only blur, not more detail. What you want is not 480p, what you want is 720p, which is High Definition and is reasonably priced (at least in comparison to 1080p).
