Optoma GT1080 Projector

Announced last month but I didn't see it until today (first availability was Aug 8th). I can't find any reviews for it yet but the product page is up and there are a few forum posts about it around the web. I'm hoping for 1080p operation at 120Hz but the inputs are HDMI 1.4a so it probably wont' be officially supported.

Hopefully this is the upgrade to my GT720 projectors that I've been waiting for ...

By 120hz, it's referring to interpolation and/or 3D (just skimmed through specs):

"Supports all HDMI 1.4a mandatory 3D formats (Frame pack, side-by-side, top-bottom) and up converts frame rate from 60Hz to 120Hz or 24Hz to 144Hz (i.e 60 or 72 frames per eye). 3D glasses are needed and are sold separately. Refer to user manual for details. "

It will be 720p at 120Hz.

I'm using the Optoma HD131x 1080p 3D projector that does 720p @ 120Hz also.
I used this mode last night in a racing game, its not interpolation, it was actually smoother and slightly more responsive.
The game let me set 720p 120Hz mode.

Similarly, I can watch 3D movies in 1080p that have a max framerate per eye of 30Hz (equating to a total of 60Hz).
And can game in 3D at 60fps per eye, but only in 720p mode.
At 1080p, the max refresh is 60Hz.

If you use an override EDID from a 120Hz capable TN panel can you force operation at 120Hz? Another way to do it would be to use ToastyX's Custom Resolution Utility. Please let me know the results if you give it a try. I'm hoping someone can try on a GT1080.
