Having owned both a Planar PD8150 and a Mitsubishi HC7800D I would like to make a few comments on this. The problem with comparing the .95" DMD versus the .65" DMD is that the two chips are built for two separate parts of the consumer buying market. Considering the larger DMD costs more any manufacturer who builds a projector around that DMD is going to build it in mind of a higher MSRP. Therefore higher quality components such as lenses, lamps and lamp technologies (such as unishape), video processors, and a nice software suite to compliment the whole package will be incorporated. When you look at the under $5000 market there is just SOOOOO much competition. Things need to be compromised to make a profit off of the projector. The lens will always take a turn for the worse as well as video processing and build quality. That is just one thing to take into consideration.
It's unfortunate that the smaller DMD needs a really really good lens to compete with the larger DMD. But, like I was just saying before, the lens is almost always downgraded. It's just something that has to be done meet a certain end cost. So while the smaller DMD has the potential to be as good as the larger DMD you just never get to see that potential. Like I also mentioned many other things need to be compromised as well so the end result as of late has been one lackluster smaller DMD projector after another. Native contrast between the two DMDs is also another high area of concern. In most cases the larger DMD blows the smaller out of the water. A lot of this has to do with light path design. Because of the higher cost in mind the larger DMD projectors will usually things like special optical coatings on the lenses, get an ND filter on the color wheel, use unishape lamp technology ect.
Basically what I'm trying to say is that the .65" DMD has the potential to be great but no company out there wants to build one because of the high cost to make it great. My guess is that you aren't going to see a 3D projector with the larger DMD anytime soon, especially now that 4K is on the horizon. You should place all your bets that most companies are going to be abandoning all 1080p development and switching over all focus towards 4K. Most people, including myself have kept my .95" DMD projector and bought a 3D only .65" DMD projector. For PQ it's your best bet.
