A front projection system with LCD projector delivers HDTV resolution for high definition images. The typical goal for optics is to use lenses that produce the sharpest clarity and largest usable image, thus providing the best image resolution. The more pixels, the higher the image resolution and thus the better the photograph. It's also important to point out that there is a definite need for high resolution (highly detailed) graphics and graphic images. This is about where our own tests ended up, depending on the particular screen resolution and other configuration settings we used. It offers all manner of options in terms of settings, degrees of resolution, and in-camera viewing of images.
