I have been thinking about this for a while and it looks like it works. The idea is to take a regular 4:3 XGA DLP or LCD projector and run it with a widescreen HTPC resolution of 1024x576. This allows you to use a 16:9 screen to its full without the problem of a huge overscan at the top and bottom of the screen. The benefit that I see is that you can buy a high end 16:9 screen ready for thee ultimate widescreen projector and buy a cheap XGA LCD/DLP. Yes you loose resolution on 4:3 stuff, but I don't run anything in 4:3 anyway, I always strech 4:3 stuff to fit my widescreen TV.
