Hey funboy, how far are you sitting back from the screen ? I was thinking about a 1080P monitor but its only 42" and is going for over $1700. Its the sharp aquos model. But this is a great deal even though its only 720. Only thing is my room is not to wide. I think maybe only 14' across. Maybe a bit less ill have to measure it again. My couch would go up against the wall btw.
I sit 13 feet away from my 100" screen. At first it was noticeable to see the screen door effect (really seen on a sd PJ, this is a HD PJ so much less seeable, yes I made that up and it is copywritten), but after a weeks time I dont see it at all unless I really look for it and I really have to look for it, my eyes have adjusted so much I dont see it. If you sit 15" or further you wont see it at all even if you tried. The only benefit you get between a HD pj VS a SD pj is you can sit closer. Other then that at say 20 feet you wont be able to tell which is running hd and which is not for they will have the identical looking picture at that distance, just when you sit closer will you see a difference.
As trey says it will be 2x the size and half the price of the 42" one your looking at, and the Mitsu may be better, I wouldnt know, but the HD70 is $100 less and comes with the free screen, free up grade 2 year warranty, the free bulb warranty, and free shipping, the mitsu as far as I can find anywhere does not. Its a trade off getting what can be well over $800 in free stuff (2 bulbs if they blow in 2 years, free screen, free warranty, free shipping, less price), or slightly brighter picture. For me the call is easy
