Um, I've got one that does full 1080p.  It's nearly 10 years old (I'd 
have to check when we actually bought it, but it's at least 8 years old).

I honestly don't know where you get the crazy idea that higher 
resolutions aren't available.  I mean, if you're projecting on a 8-10 
foot 16:9 diagonal area, 1024x768 is going to look like shit.  800x600 
even more so.

1920x1080, though, looks pretty nice on the ~12' diagonal space we've got 
in our living room.  When I can get the room dark enough (we need 
blackout blinds in there, but have mesh ones that direct sunlight just 
dances through, more or less).

But another case of "maybe Andy should google before making blanket 
statements about how 'all' of something is absolutely limited to 'x'." ;)
