Hi Josh,
Take a lookie here for a down and dirty of your pj's capabilities:

Looks like a 7" machine with 45Mhz bandwidth will keep you at 720p/1080i. 720p is perfectly respectable tho unless you try to go with a massive screen. If you go too large it'll be dim and soft with 7" tubes even in a totally light controlled room.
But I'm a Marquee owner...what do I know.

Sounds like you are downloading movies and dunno whether to the the 1080p or 720p encoded one.
Always start with the best source, even if you downscale it - so a 1080p source.
I would always run 1080i minimum on the projector these days.
