Currently, the leading contenders for the title of the âbestâ 3D Full HD home theater projector under USD 5000 are the new Pro Cinema 6010 and Home Cinema 5010e/5010 PowerLite projectors from Epson along with Panasonicâs new PT-AE7000 home theater projector.

FOLLOW-UP COMMENTS:
The Epson PowerLite Home Cinema 8350 Projector is NOT a 3D projector nor would it have satisfactory light output when using the highest picture quality settings even if it were able to produce a 3D image. It is also equipped with an HDMI 1.3a compliant interface - not a fully HDMI 1.4 compliant interface.
With respect to the Sony VPL-HW30ES 3D Home Theater Projector: quoting one of the comments from Projector Centralâs Panasonic AT-AE7000 vs. Sony VPL-HW30ES Shootout: âIn the Cinema modes, the AE7000 shows more contrast, more color saturation, and a deeper black level than the HW30ES. The picture has more snap. Due to the higher contrast, the picture appears to have more depth and incremental sharpness. The AE7000 also has an edge in natural clarity; it looks a bit more analog, or film-like.â These are very important performance characteristics for which a projector must excel in order to qualify as a potential candidate for the title of âbestâ (3D Full HD) home theater projector.

Can a 720p hd ready projector become full hd 1080p?
David
The optoma hd600x is 720p hd ready BUT has a maximum resolution of full hd 1920x1080 1080p it has a hdmi slot so would this upgrade it PLEASE give reasons also if not please explain how you make the native resolution change into maximum resolution.
Answer
Hmm, I thought I already answered this for you. The native resolution on a projector is the best resolution that it can produce. It is called native as it is what all the electronics inside are set for. This can be changed to lower resolutions but not higher. The native resolution is the maxiumum resolution of the projector. If you look at the link below (the one I listed before) and go to the specifications page you can see what I mean.
http://www.optoma.eu/projectordetailshe.aspx?ShowMenu=HE&PTypedb=Home%20Entertainment&PC=HD600X
The site has the native resolution set to 720p however states that the video compatibility is multiple different formats. Notice how it is phrased "video compatibility" this means that the video processor inside of the projector can handle the multiple signals when send to it, but the projector itself can not display them.
Think of this in much that same way as connecting a Blu-ray player to a 720p TV. Sure the Blu-ray can produce 720p and some of the 720p TVs can handle a 1080p signal but the screen doesn't not have enough pixels to display the 1080p imahe regardless of what you do.
This projector is much the same way. It can read the 1080p signal, but the DLP chip in it is maxed out at 720p. any upgrading would require a new video processor, a new DLP chip, and someone one who is extremely experienced in electrical engineering. It would also not be cost effective to do so.
So yes, it can be done. but you would be rebuilding the projector as it cannot display a 1080p signal. For all practical purposes, the Optoma HD600x will never display 1080p.
