    According to its user manual it can accept a 1080i signal thru a component to VGA cable/adapter. The user manual can be downloaded from here:

    For this kind of projector I suggest a high contrast, low gain grey screen and turn off all your lights.

    The Optoma is also a good alternative. It has pretty good specs for a home theater projector and has a built in DVD player. You can connect a game console using the component to VGA adaptor. If I had to choose b/w the two I'd get the Optoma.

    According to the website it comes with a component to VGA adapter. Use this to connect the 360 to the projector and enjoy the high def picture.

    It can't be ceiling mounted b/c of the built-in DVD player.
