Is this even worth the time to think about it, or should I just take my $700 and put it towards something that I really need.... Like the panasonic AE4000??? feel free to share any thoughts Re: acer Full HD projector for $699 brand new??? 2Dec 16, 2009 5:04 pm Hi James. Being able to display a 1080P image and being 'native' 1080P are still two very different things. Being native 1080P - FullHD means the panel(s) are physically 1920 pixels wide x 1080 pixels high (projectors or plasma/LCD TVs) and therefore when displaying a 1080P image you get the full detail from the source - all 2,073,600 pixels being represented individually, 1:1 on the panel/screen. If a device says it can display a 1080P image but does not actually state that it is a (native) FullHD/1080P/1920x1080 device then chances are it is a lower resolution and 1080P images will be down-scaled to suit the resolution of the device. If unsure check the specs... I'd say for that price the chances are very low that it's a native 1920 x 1080 device... Hi Kristy Around $1.7-1.8m or around $4,600/sqm. if you PM me your email I will send you a break up in a spreadsheet so you can get an understanding of the costs for… 1 9880 Thank you. That is really helpful. Once we get the place done and passed for OC we can upgrade in the future once we get back on our feet and not paying mortgage and rent. 4 5701 |
