    I was looking at it this morning and it is 720p Native but it can project in 1080p... it just isnt the native res.

    It is great to live where I live not to far from Intel, Microsoft, Infocus, Frys Factory Outlet Store, now if I just lived closer to Apple! LOL

    As far as I was aware the highest resolution of a projector was its native one. I think it accepts 1080p signals and displays them as 720p. That would explain how you were able to get it for less than $30,000.

    The Sony Pearl is ONLY $10,000, but I guess that would seem cheap compared to others similar to it.

    ^^ how much did that cost you?!?! Can you even play any games at that res with a decent framerate?? and in terms of costs, i think bigDK and DocTY take the cake for computer hardware.

    Actually yes, most games run at that level with an acceptable frame rate, even FEAR runs OKish, it's only Rainbow Six Vegas and Stalker that my X1900 can't quite manage at that res.
    With regard to costs, I doubt I'm too far behind, my monitor is a £900 job, that's quite a premium over normal sized example!

    At 100 bucks a tire and for 2 cars thats like 900 bucks with tax, and then you have to remember we have to get tows there's another 200bucks! We even dropped 400 bucks to put in a surveillance system, but it dosent help any when the power is out! The sad part is we think it is one of our neighbors! In the last year there has been 4000 bucks worth of damage! It all started when we upstaged our neighbors Christmas lights... yeah christmas lights! They came in and just cut wires like crazy then after christmas the tires started getting slashed! This is outrageous... I don't live in the ghetto or anything this is an upscale neighborhood where this is happening..

    whats sad is Les Schwab is now giving us a frequent customer discount!

    we've though about turning it into our home owners insuracne but after we looked into it our rates would go up about that much each year... we have had the police come out each time so we have it documented and once the damage reaches 2000 bucks it is a felony offense which means 1 year+ jail time if convicted if we ever catch them we have a strong enough case to take them to civil court for the damages!
