I'm not sure what you mean by "not cutting off the edges of the frame" --- TV
sets always cut off the overscan area, whereas a video projector can show the
exact size of the frame perfectly, with no cutoff whatsoever. Furthermore, a
good high contrast cinema video projector with a high contrast screen can do
an amazing job with contrast, color saturation, and black levels. Because
LCD projectors produce a continuous image (without using the tiny RGB pels of
a CRT) I believe a high-quality projector setup produces a far more fluid,
luminous, sparkling effect than any CRT.
