For the benefit of the OP or anyone else that stumbles across this thread: I just googled that PJ and it clearly states the native resolution is 800 x 600 on the page I've linked to here. Also it is a 4:3 format projector, rather than widescreen. While £175 is cheap, it isn't a 720p projector (you need a native resolution of 1280 x 720/768 for that), it will only accept that as an input then it will downscale the image to the lower resolution panel. It's your choice and your money, but it's not what you appeared to be asking for in your original post and thread title.

EDIT: It only has a VGA input that would allow anything approaching HD to be sent to it, which will probably also restrict input frequency to 60Hz rather than 50Hz or 24Hz from BluRay for example. It also doesn't have a DVI or HDMI input as required inb the original post.
