But feeding a 1080i source into a 1080P display - won't the display just de-interlace? Given that the source and display match, wouldn't it be better?

Don't get me wrong, I have been very impressed with 720 projectors, but having seen 1080's in action, and given the small price difference, it becomes a case of future proofing for me...
Sorry Mark..I got a bit confused there...
The source (HD860) is set at 720p. which is fed to the 480p projector..The Benq accepts the signal very well..
It's not an ideal setup, but there is a definite improvement in SD DVD's..

Prices are coming down on 720p projectors and I can get the Optoma at the moment for about $1500.00
The 1080p projectors you're looking at are around the $3000.00 mark..

It wouldn't want to be that much given the strength of our dollar right now...
I think it will be a case of exclusivity that will set the price..not the value of the dollar..
