Mr
It says here that this projector is capible of 1080i, does that mean its" true hd"?
i will be running a Blu-ray player though its s-video port, an Xbox though the Svga.
Heres the link,

Answer
The NEC projector you linked to has a native resolution of 800x600, so while it can accept a 1080i image (1440x1080), it will still have to scale it down to 800x600 to display it, which is not technically HD.
If you want an HD projector, you would need to get a projector with a native resolution of either 1280x720 (720p) or 1440x1080 (1080p). Also, that projector appears to be geared towards showing static computer presentations, where sharpness and edge delineation are more important than natural color reproduction or full motion video. It's a business projector and not a home theater projector (projectors that are designed to do both tend to do both poorly).
HD home theater projectors start at around $500-$600: http://www.google.com/products?q=720p+home+theater+projector&hl=en&aq=f .
If you do get a projector, connect the Blu-ray player with component or HDMI cables. S-video does not support HD, it only carries SD 480i, 4:3 video (not 16:9 widescreen).

NEC LT280 Projector review?
Calvin W
Hi -
I am considering of purchasing the NEC LT280 Projector for $800 for my home tv/theater, can anyone advise me if this is a good purchase? I can't find any reviews on the NEC LT280 Projector.
Thanks,
JP

First, here is a link to your projector.

About the only thing I can see that might prevent me from purchasng it is the rather low Contrast rating of 600:1.
Here's a couple more that I can recommend, that are cheaper than the one you are looking at, if you look around.

I see the one you're looking at is 2500 lumens which is way more than you need. Increase your contrast and decrease your lumens to about 1000 and you can save some $$$ and get a better picture.
