I stand corrected, as users have been able to feed 480p to the X1 by using a component to VGA adapter cable.
The X1 has either svideo inputs for interlaced or the VGA input can be used for a progressive signal it seems.

Defintely chek out AVS forums, tons of discussions you can search, or start your own thread with questions.

This guy jcebedo1 has tricked out his X1 to death is a big authority on using this projector. He even offers mods to improve performance

Note I am not affiliated with this individual in any way nor do I know the quality of his work. However, he seems like a real enthusiast, and I bet you could e-mail him and get some spot on suggestions an info for your X1.

He reports that feeding the 480p was better than using interlaced, so this may solve your problem, assuming you can buy the adapter cable.

Best of Luck! I hope to try an X1 or something similar myself soon. The built in DCDi proessing should be a real boon to lesser sources like VCR or TV.
