Whats the difference between DLP, LCoS, plasma and LCD TVs?
Digital light processing (DLP) and liquid crystal on silicon (LCoS) are both microdisplay rear-projection TV technologies. DLP is a Texas Instruments-trademarked technology in which light is projected onto a series of tiny moving mirrors, with each mirror representing 1 pixel. LCoS is similar, but light is projected onto liquid crystal-coated silicon chips instead of mirrors. Both technologies offer very clear resolutions, but since they use rear projection, they are often bulkier than flat panels. HD plasma and liquid crystal display (LCD) TVs are ultraslim flat panels. Most models can be hung on a wall. Plasma TVs often have larger screen sizes, faster response times and wider viewing angles than LCD TVs. However, the technology is fragile, it can dim over time, and it buzzes at higher elevations. LCD TVs are usually better for viewing in a lighted room. They don’t weigh as much or consume as much energy as plasmas. However, it is generally accepted that the picture quality of these
