And their answer to the small Hitachi projector is a Wireless (G) capable projector (Which can stream video) the other nice feature of this beast is its "Daylight View" function which will help the projector to automatically adapts its brightness to the environment."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/PanasonicWiFi.jpg" /><br /><br />This is Panasonic TH-LB30NT projector has got mainly three impressive features: WiFi 802.11g, multiple computers (max 16) can be connected and presenting simultaneously using one projector, or one computer connected to multiple projectors of this model. The "daylight view" function sounds cool on paper and I guess it is something better than having to dig through all those sub-sub-menus of settings to change the brightness. Best of all, WiFi lets you cut one cord between the computer and projector, hence minimizing the risk of someone tripping and dropping the pricey projector. ;)<br /><br />If you are interested in the details of this projector, then have a look at the machine translated <a href="http://www.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fpanasonic.co.jp%2Fcorp%2Fnews%2Fofficial.data%2Fdata.dir%2Fjn050323-2%2Fjn050323-2.html&langpair=ja%7Cen&hl=en&ie=UTF8">specification page</a>.

Unfortunatly when your blowing a video/image up to 70inches, compression isn't your friend. Some how I am scepticle on the video quality of streamed video, especialy since your computer will be doing the encoding in real time.
