By HD I presume you are referring High Definition support.  I.e, 1080i or 1080p signal input from your selected source to the projector.  Most projectors will accept 1080i input, and the newer ones will accept 1080p input.  However the output will depend on the native resolution of the projector, a 480p projector will only be able to project upto a maximum of 480lines, even if you feed it 1080p.  A quick check of the projector's specification will telly you if the projector will accept HD1080 sources.

Only native 1080p projectors will faithfully reproduce the HD1080 source.  For budget of RM3000, go back a page or 2 and you will find some recommendation from Timothyy and myself.

Digital Light Processors (or DLP) projectors utilize an amazing electronic and microscopic mirror assembly to transmit video images onto a projection screen. Millions of tiny mirrors are controlled by very complex electronic circuitry to allow the projector's light to be directed to the screen. DLP projectors have now reached the price points of medium-priced CRT projectors and offer the resolution, brightness, and aspect ratios required for High Definition TV performance. ...

Yup, But the IN72 offers everything the 4805 had, and then some - HDMI, as well as Darkchip 2. But you can't go wrong with any of them, High-def on both of them looks marvellous ( although they aren't HD, they  accept 720p and 1080p[IN72] but downscales them to their native EDTV resolution ).

At RM5k + free bulb and In72 at RM4999? Sure la AE900...

Kakakka... getting a Sony HD LCD will cost you more than 10k if not mistaken. Sure got terms and condition.

Anyway, Jacky... since you already put up RM5k as budget... why not add few more hundred and get the Epson 700? I can't recomend you the AX100 as it has some prob now.

Jackygwh, help u make decision.....

Do you have a dedicated room that can be fully light controlled..... and placement of projector is flexible (i.e. dun need to use a lot of zoom)?

If Yes then go for Optoma HD70, Panny AE900 or Epson TW600.... all 720p but previous generation but HD ready.

If No, then I have another question:

Do you want to be able to use the projector anytime of the day?

If Yes, then I would advise you to raise your budget a little bit to get the current generation light cannons, coz they are flexible and can watch almost anytime of the day. E.g. Panny AX100 and Epson TW700.

If No, then Optoma HD70, Panny AE900 or Epson TW600.
