Plasma / Flat tv resolution and your application
One of the key factors in choosing the right resolution is your typical application. Do you have a need for very accurate display of small visual details, or not?
If your primary use of the system is for "Powerpoint" style graphics, pie charts, graphs, and general business presentation, you don’t need to pay extra for high resolution equipment. SVGA resolution is very adequate for this kind of work, and the best solution for the money.
However, if you are often presenting materials like Excel spreadsheets that have a lot of numeric data on the screen, you will probably be happier with XGA resolution. This format is able to produce a clearer and more legible image of small numbers and other data.
Finally, if you are projecting engineering drawings or other images of a highly detailed and technical nature, you will probably need a very high resolution SXGA projector to produce an acceptable image for your purposes.
