Question on native resolution of DLP projectors…?

If a DLP projectors native output is 1300×1280 would it make a 1080 or even 480p image sharper then if it was on a projector with those specific outputs of resolution? I am thinking the more numbers of resolution the cleaner and sharper the image but it’s still only gonna be as sharp as it’s source, so it may not be needed for all those extra pixels.

A DLP projector of the resolution you specified is not a 1080p/i projector.

The max resolution it is capable of displaying in its entirety is 720p. The 720p resolution is 1280 x 720. Obviously, that projector can easily meet that resolution.

However, 1080i/p is 1920 x 1080. Your projector can not display this resolution fully and therefore is not capable of DISPLAYING 1080i or p. What will happen instead is the projector will accept incoming 1080i and sometimes p signals and scale them to the native resolution of the projector.

This brings us to your question. The higher resolution will help display 1080i/p sources closer to their intended resolution. It won’t be full 1080 resolution but the extra lines of resolution do make for less interpolation needed.

When it comes to 720p sources, the extra pixels really don’t help too much. Your projector will do its best converting to the native resolution but it won’t net a noticeable increase in picture quality. The goal is to scale the image without creating noticeable anomalies such as “jaggies” in diagonal lines. Most projectors will do this decently enough.
