Re: DLP Projectors and 4:3 stretch on 16:9

Keep in mind that HDTV programming is 16:9. There's not much now, but there will be more in the future.

Personally, I prefer the old standby CRT projector to any of the newer technologies. Although it's more difficult to set up and not nearly as bright, its picture quality more closely resembles the film experience (especially with a quality external line doubler).

The Sony VPH-D50Q can be had for $8000. Add an external Faroudja doubler (LD200 or VP201) and you'll forget all about any of the other technologies. It does anamorphic, scans up to 64K (so it's ready for HDTV), and it will take the progressive output of a DVD player (if these ever get released).
