Epson Home Cinema 705HD - Image Quality-6

Home Cinema 705HD Projector: Performance, HDTV and Sports

Of course, as a 720p resolution projector, the image isn't as sharp as what you would get with a 1080p projector, but, hey, that's why the Home Cinema 705HD is an inexpensive projector. For twice the price, in the Epson lineup, you would get a 1080p projector, one that is bright, but still not a match for this one, but with a lot more features, and placement flexibility. For around $1000 or a little less, you can get an entry level 1080p projector, with some similar features, but not as bright.

you can spend more, for more sharpness, but, you know what? I watched two full NFL playoff games on the Epson 705HD, and it worked out just dandy. All I had to do, to remind myself that it was sharp enough, was to turn on my JVC (with the shades open as I had them for the 705HD), and wince for a few seconds at the very sharp, but badly washed out JVC image, that comes from having less than half the lumens
