HD72i or Infocus SP7210 for gaming/DVDs

I've narrowed my DLP choices down to both these machines. Anyone able to comment on how both machines game using PCs? I believe the HD2 has 1280x768(and 720) whereas the 7210 only has the latter. What difference does this make? Is info lost, or is the pic squished slightly?

Also, I was impressed by how "3d" the HD72i looked when I demoed it (I much preferred it to the IN76). Anyone know how the 7210 fares compared to it?

Cheers!

The HD72 is not a true 16 by 9 chip it is more like 16 by 10. Most games on the PS2 and Xbox etc are in a 16x9 so the 7210 is ideal. But the HD72 will also show a 16x9 pic so you will see no difference. The general feeling is that the 7210 I think has the better picture
