No doubt that 1024x768 is common, but it is becoming more of a rarity that your source will be that low of a resolution. I don't understand why Sanyo insists on staying with that resolution when competitors like Canon keep more in line of 1400x1050.

At Infocomm this year there was a similar double bounce at a couple of booths. My memory could be off, but I think they exceeded the 100" image. Then again that wasn't what I was going for. But there definitely were some nice presentations (even onto plexi).
