1024x768 in a 4:3 ratio is NOT HD. When used for widescreen video, this projector will be cropping your 16x9 image down to 576p.
On a small screen (like a TV), you might not be able to tell the difference between 720p and 1080p from farther viewing distances....but the whole point of a projector is to make a huge screen, and 576p will definitely look bad on a huge screen.
