Welcome back :-)

"all is fair in love and war" somebody said.

And now Blu ray have won, why should I keep on promoting it?

So let us forget the heckling, and move forward.

For my HT, I have an old Pannasonic PT-AE700E projector, 1270x720 pixel x 3 panels.

For me sound quality is more important than picture. The system is mainly set up for DVD/Blu ray/HD DVD concerts and multichannel SACD/DVD audio.

I use the small dimension of the room, to get a wider left to right room with more space left of left and right of right front loudspeakers. This is reversed of normal HT, but it set up is for my pleasure only.
The 36" tube TV is in another room.

So my picture is about 100" diagonal, and my viewing distance is selected, so that I barely see the lines. My room is blacked out, so light level is enough.

My PS3 40GB does DVD upscaling well, but that does not increase detail, it only make them look smooth, like vaseline on the lens do for playboy photos. Remember many of my DVDs are PAL, much better than NTSC. Still a good Blu ray is far better than upscaled PAL. Upscaled NTSC look dreadful bad. So I think, that you are sitting too far from your screen.

So far my main problem is the film source quality, many movies are less good than my current projector in terms of picture detail. This also makes me hesitate to get a new projector.

But someday I probably will, just to get a new toy. :-)

This graph say I will benefit from 1080p even on 100"
