Im not interested in a HD tv till VM transmit enough content to make it worth my while buying one. 1080 .mkv wrapped files look pretty bloody good on a screen thats nearly twice the size of a HD tv and its only a 1280:1024 res projector (software keeps aspect ratio correct for movies) so even not on a HD projector im happy with what I have and am also more than happy for you early adopters to pay all those developement costs. I can not see enough content being transmited this side of 2010 for me to worry about it

My projector also handles 1080 (i though) and it looks awesome especially with hd downloads from the states. I've not run HD movies through it yet but I'm in the process of converting all of my media to digital files and have a server pc in the living room to play it from coupled to a 5.1 surround.
