Actually, the Sony has a resolution of 1024 x 480 (491,520 pixels x 3 color panels), and standard LCD with visible pixel structure. The Pioneer (RVD-XG10) uses Digital Reflective Imaging (very bright with only a small lamp) with almost no visible pixel structure, and has 1024 x 768 resolution (786,432 pixels x 3 color panels); in 4:3 mode (for regular TV, DSS, VHS, Divx, and some DVDs), that is twice the pixels. in 16:9, it will only use 1024 x 576 (the data-containing portion of a letterbox format), but still more usable data. But with almost ANY LCD projector, a video scaler is almost a requirement (see Deuce mentioned earlier in my post). And no, the W400Q does NOT have a built-in doubler, whereas it appears there IS line-accumulation built into the Pioneer (NO scan lines visible).

Oh. And I forgot to mention. Don't have the specs with me, but the Home Theater mag. review states that "no line multiplying is possible."

: Look at the Sony VPL-W400Q at $3800 from Camera World. It has 1.5million pixels, 600 lines, no pixel structure visible at 8 feet, and is designed for 16:9 or 4:3 with a good built in scaler, and a line doubler.
