It makes a big difference to me, and I made it clear that I was only
speaking about my own opinion-- Everything I watch with the exception
of two shows is at 720p, 1080i, or 1080p.  So yes, the resolution of
the projector at that projected size makes quite a bit of difference
to me.  I know that you live in .au where HD broadcast is less
prevalent, but it is quite prevalent here in the USA.  Many, many
people are able to watch all of their shows in 720p or 1080i.

Actually, it's exactly like that.  The pixel size between 1080p->720p
projected on equivalent screen size will be correspondingly larger.
On a very large screen, that pixel size may not be within the
individual users tolerances.  My personal level of what is acceptable
did not allow for 720p at that projected size.

So you have your opinion and I have mine.  Kinda like I said in my
first message.
