anyone have any experience with this projector? looks like it only supports EDTV res, not even 720p. how does the xbox 360 look on it?

I own one and it's by far one of the best projectors for home use. It replaced the SP4805 which was awesome in of itself.

Just out of curiosity, and i know it's a broad question, but in what ways do you think the IN72 is better than the sp4805 ?

480p and only 1024 x 768 res... blah.

480p and only 1024 x 768 res... blah.Well, actually its 854x480 (http://store.infocus.com/escalate/store/DetailPage?pls=infocus&bc=infocus&pc=IN72&clist=01ae803206ee:187be70014012b:&ret=&pls5catname=&tab=spec) via DarkChip2 technology, perfect since it's geared for a widescreen dvd's native resolution and little to no upscaling artifacts to deal with, it would probably appear nearly as good as high definition to most laymen. It's more of a DVD movie projector, but going by 4805 results games would probably look fine on it as well. Otherwise gamers or those seeking a higher resolution would probably be better off researching the optoma HD70 or mitsubishi HD1000 (http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=752596)
