What does rear projection tv mean?
The actual term “rear-projection” comes from the fact that the image is projected and reflected onto the screen from behind the screen, unlike traditional video and film projection in which the projector itself is placed in front of the screen, such as in a movie theater. Although Plasma and LCD flat panel televisions seem to be all the rage these days, with growing numbers of consumers reaching into their pockets to buy the stylish sets, they are still out of reach of most average household budgets. As a result, the rear-projection TV (also referred to as an RPTV), with its lower pricing yet high performance, is taking center stage in the consumer television market.
