Will a 1080p video look proper being playing on this projector? The projector has a resolution of 1280 x 800 (WXGA). E.g. will 1080p be downscaled to WXGA?

Not sure if this helps, but I'm looking at Aspect Ratio Settings in the manual.

It has:
Auto - Automatically sets the aspect ratio according to the input signal and the Resolution setting.
Normal - Displays images using the full projection area and maintains the aspect ratio of the image.
16:9 - Converts the aspect ratio of the image to 16:9.
Full - Displays images using the full width of the projection area, but does not maintain the aspect ratio.
Zoom - Displays images using the full width of the projection area and maintains the aspect ratio of the image.
Native - Displays images as is (aspect ratio and resolution are maintained).

Ok, so if the projector was a native 1080p, it wouldn't have this letterboxing or it would just be a bit more pronounced since It's WXGA?

It wouldn't as the aspect ratio would match. The wxga is 16:10, while 1080p is 16:9.
 
Ok thanks for the responses. So the quality should still look good even when downscaling from 1080p to WXGA?
