Check the reviews at www.projectorcentral.com. IMHO, the projector to own at 720p is the Panasonic PT AE200U, but that is $1300 Excellent brightness and color saturation even with ambient light, loads of flexibility in terms of placement because of the 2x lens, and easy lens adjustment with a toggle, a complete lack of visible pixelation even close up, and two HDMI ports. It also has a reputation of being among the best in makling standard definition 480p DVDs look sharp.
On the minus side it's bulky at 11 lbs, and costs as much as $500 more than the least expensive 720p unit, which can be had for about $800.
1080p only makes sense marginally if you are going big time into Blue Ray or HD DVD.
Broadcast HDTV is either 720p or 1080i, and a 720p projector should do both of those well.
Read the current thinking on 720p vs 1080p on the projectorcentral Web site. Right now expect to spend upwards of $2000 on a full 1080p projector, tho I expect these prices to drift toward the $1500 level by the end of 2008.
