I use a simple cheap 1024 x 768 resouution projector in my simpit at pretty close viewing range and it is just fine.  Don't expect the kind of resolution you get out of a really good monitor..... but the size immersion factor makes up for any missed pixels.

The price of a projector goes up dramatically as the pixel resolution increases.

best,
