VIDEO PROJECTOR LAST MINUTE ADVISE

["Rick Walker" <looppool@cruzio.com>]

With advice,   I looked at the 

EPSON S5 SVGA projector (for $450 USD)

and discovered that it projected at a maximum screen resolution of 
800 X 600

then I looked at the next one up the price chain:

Epson PowerLite 77c   VGA projector  (for $550 USD)

with a maximum screen resolution of 1024 X 768


A couple of last minute questions (I can get free shipping if I purchase 
in the next 
72 hours so I want to buy it quickly if I can get enough questions 
answered:

1)  my videos are low quality  (mostly 800 X 600)...........is there any 
advantage to paying the extra 
100 smackers to get the 1024 X 768 VGA  as opposed to the older, cheaper  
800 X 600 SVGA 
monitor?

2)   Will this projector work with my MacBook Pro.?

In critical reviews it has been faulted for NOT having HDMI connectivity, 
but I think 
I just want to  project my own art/looping videos live with it.


3)   Lastly,   this is obvious trailing technology as there are the new 
DLP projectors out with much 
more connectivity.       Am I being foolish buying this older LCD 
technology (I hear that colors are 
actually warmer with LCD but just don't know.

This unit is really inexpensive, but then,  so is my budget.

Thanks for your advice,

Rick Walker
