look at the specs and let me know.. thanks!
BTW.. ill be using this for PS3 and PC only.
Answer
They have quite similar specs (not surprising since both use the same DLP chip). That said, neither is HD, neither have great contrast and neither is very bright. Either will work OK on a moderate sized screen (90" max) in a DARK room, and probably under 50" if there is ambient light. Personally I'd choose the LG simply because it's a "name brand" company. The review at the link is pretty complementary. However note that since it is a fixed lens mounting flexibility is, shall we say, limited.
You can also get a 1024x768 and slightly brighter version for a couple of hundred dollars more.
Note: The big advantage of LED is long lamp life, but with currently available LED projectors you sacrifice brightness, resolution, mounting flexibility and contrast relative to similar priced halogen based models. To investigate other options (LED or otherwise) use the "search by feature" option at the liked site.

how do projectors do HDTV?
skatedrumm
I've seen some with smaller resolutions like 800 by 600 online that claim they can do HDTV like the one here: http://reviews.cnet.com/InFocus_X1a_DLP_projector/4505-3180_7-30963909.html
I'm not saying that's the only one and the question applies to any like that, but isn't that too small for a normal HDTV outputting device? Will it actually work the way it's supposed to? and also, do projectors like that have the ports needed to do it? thanks in advance.
oh, and please include what other inputs they usually come with if you know. thanks again
thanks, but will it at least work with HDTV?
Answer
Their claim to do HDTV simply means they will accept a HDTV signal and display it at their smaller resolution. Those SD projectors are not HD and can not actually display at HD resolutions.
To get HD you need a projector with a resolution of 1280x720 (720p) or 1920x1080 (1080p). The ports you want are either Component video which is analog HD, or better yet HDMI which is digital HD and is used by the PS3. All HD projectors will have one of these ports. 720p projectors start at $1000, such as the Optoma HD70 (DLP), while 1080p projectors start at under $4000, eg. Sony VPL-VW50 (SXRD). Happy projecting.

The InFocus X1a in particular doesn't have component input, only VGA (computer monitor cable). HDTV receivers use component instead so you'll need a component-to-VGA adaptor. Also 800x600 is 4:3 not 16:9, so you will get black letterboxes from HDTV and end up with about 40% of the quality of basic HDTV (720p) and under 20% the quality of full HDTV. If budget is the most important factor then it might be adequate. If HDTV is important I would save up for 720p to avoid any quality and connection issues.
