What is the difference between LCD televisions and DLP TVs?
LCD televisions direct light from one lamp to a trio of LCD panels that process red, green, and blue lights seperately. The pixels within each panel contain a liquid crystal material regulating the amount of light passing through them. After passing through the panels, the lights are combined by a prism, and projected onto the screen by a lens.
DLP sets have a chip and a rotating filter that splits white light from a lamp into a sequence of red, green, and blue beams. The beams are reflected from tiny mirrors on the chip. The mirrors pivot thousands of times a second to control the brightness of each pixel, and are synchronized to display a projection that the eye blends into a full color image.
Iam teadoggy Simply put, that is a difficult question to answer. Unlike Plasma TV screens DLP and LCD last much are longer, and are considered to both have superior image quality. LCD screens tend to have slightly better contrast, with a larger range of black and white color shades. DLP, however, still has faster refresh rates than LCD (although LCD has been vastly improved in this area over the last two years). This can have implications if you are really into high-action motion (sports, action movies), because movement may seem a little blurred with LCD at times. Also, you’ll want to remember that in order for you to get the best color out of your LCD, you have to sit right in front of it. LCD TVs also have a slightly shorter lifespan than DLPs, with only 45,000 to 60,000 hours compared to 75,000 hours or more. As far as price goes, LCD and DLP are still more expensive than Plasma, but like all things in time, their price has been coming down. And right now, DLP is slightly more expe
