What native resolution is your projector? Not at all trying to insult, but many “1080p supported” handle the signal, but still play back at 720p, and there’s a good chance you’re getting a better native resolution playback that compressed and down converted 1080, which would make sense.
Also, while I LOVED my 120" projector screen with my med-high end BenQ DLP projector, after upgrading to my 85" I just can’t go back to the screen, even if it’s dark. Idk, it just can’t compete. And I play actual BD discs on the projector to maximize quality.
I am almost certain my projector actually outputs 1080p. I can tell the difference between 1080p movies and 720p movies, I just don’t care too much.
I think I might be weird because I also notice, but don’t care about the difference between 60Hz and 90/120/240Hz for my desktop monitors or my phone screen. I just leave everything at 60Hz which allegedly saves a bit of power. Other people tell me I’m insane for doing that and that they’d never come back to a 60Hz monitor.
I don’t think you’re weird for that. I agree anything over 90 or maybe 120 isn’t perceivable. You might notice if the frames aren’t synced to the refresh rate more, but it’s the placebo effect, there’s no way petiole can truly recognize actual refresh rate. There’s a lot of other tech coming into play to help that. The technology isn’t even standardized, like BFI, or calling response time 1ms when that’s grey to grey vs a full black to white or vice versa.
To me, it’s all snake oil, like dynamic contrast vs contrast ratio. Or calling an amplifier 100w per channel using a peak rating vs RMS (Sony). Much more.

So much marketing!
