It doesn't matter that they are not "blowing it up"...they are still blowing it up by putting it 1/2 inch away fro your eye. It all goes back to the screen size vs optimal viewing distance formula. 

 

VD: Viewing distanceDS: Display's diagonal sizeNHR: Display's native horizontal resolution (in pixels)NVR: Display's native vertical resolution (in pixels)CVR: Vertical resolution of the video being displayed (in pixels)

Luckily I found online an excel sheet which just asks for resolution and screen size and gives me optimal viewing distance, so I don't have to look for my scientific calculator every time I want to calculate this. :)

Great formula, lol.  Though, its somewhat an evidence that closer to the screen you are, bigger the pixel you will see. Im a bit surprise that we need to explain this.


Yeah I think the fact we did projector setups help us understanding this a bit clearer. Measuring the throw distance to get a certain diagonal and the angles for scren gain drop off ratio and such...

I do think this unit has a lot of potential for 3D due to no crosstalk, and 720p is the only resolution supported for 3D so its as good as can be in that department. But yeah, I don't see any videophile replacing his Panasonic AE4000 projector or Pioneer plasma to get this.
