   (Why isn’t that thing 720p, damn it?)

   According to the description, it’s 720p and beyond: “Video Compatibility SDTV (480i/p), EDTV (576i/p) and HDTV (720p, 1080i/p), NTSC, PAL, SECAM.”

   Unlsess I’m missing something…

   Unfortunately, from the spec sheet at InFocus, this thing doesn’t seem to be worth $500.

   There’s no DVI or HDMI inputs and it has a native resolution of 640×480.
   Even if you wanted to watch 1080p you couldn’t.

   I’ll keep cruising eBay and Craig’s List for my next projector.
