Native resolution 640x480, um Pass

Always look at the 'native resolution' of a projector not the hype the seller has to offer:

"Native Resolution: 640 * 480 with New Rio Image Enhancement Chip™ (increases pixel clarity and color)"

Okay, contrast ratio only has to do with how much brighter the 'white' is compared to the 'black'. The most commonly used projector in cinemas currently only has a contract ratio of 500:1, it's a projectors grey scaling ability that allows you to see the 'detail' in the 'blacks'. Sadly, very rarely do companies post this stat, which imo is more important then contrast ratio. (note, the above refers to when a projector is used in a light controlled room, if you want to show a movie with all your lights on, a much higher contrast ratio will be neaded, but as is, 600:1 is more then is really neaded).

I agree about the resolution though, that's a craptacular attempt to try and sell more units (which it probably will as a result). I'll stick with my favi 1040 for the time bieng.
