WHAT IS THE BEST KIND OF TV TO GET? DLP, LCD, PLASMA? 57″ OR ANY OTHER?
Also what is the disagreement between side projection, actuation and lawful LCD? What brands are best. I hit heard at elavation (me colorado) that ECF hit to some problems with racket and executing in the screen, some ideas? I module be using it for Playstation 3, Blue-ray and connatural HD watching TV. What is DLP?
I personally wouldn’t buy a LCD Rear Pro, cheap as they are to start with, you do have to replace bulbs over the years to come. They also have terrible viewing angles off to the sides, and don’t look good under light conditions! We haven’t been selling too many of them in recent months with the price of LCD and Plasma now.
DLP has come and gone in New Zealand, and we are behind the times!
So here put simply is the differences between Plasma and LCD.
LCD’s: Higher resolution (Sharper),brighter, non-reflective.
PLASMA: Faster processor for movement, (Smoother images) more natural colours (because of higher contrasts),and 3 dimensional look.
Most people are buying LCDs, as with HD TV they look that much sharper, etc. If you are a sports fanatic, recommend Plasma still, because of lots of movement, but for general TV, Dvds, and gaming, LCD. Follow the trend!
Both are great technologies, just different! Similar prices across the board too.
It seems that no matter who you talk too, or read reviews about, Plasma still comes up with the overall best picture, but most people would rather have Sharper Image, and Non-Reflective screen, than a more Realistic Image with Smoother Movement?!?!
Recommend: Sony/Samsung/Sharp LCDs. Panasonic/Pioneer/Samsung plasmas.
Hope this helps and all the best!
Here is a link regarding DLP http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DLP
My first suggestion is to stay away from using a projector, unless you can afford to keep buying bulbs for the projector which is very expensive.
The Second Suggestion is to stay away from plasma for the simple reason that they are extremely fragile and any movement of the monitor could and most likely result in damage.
An LCD Monitor will be your best bet. The decission to go with a large monitor will be a personal decisson.
Rear view projection is just what it says using rearview projection is done with shows for visual impact.
As for the brand to use most of the major manufacturers are a safe bet. If buying a no name due to getting a low price is a game I would not suggest. In most cases you get what you paid for.
wow, I was just getting ready to ask this question too.
Star for you.
I agree with the answer in regards to LCD being your best bet. For video game use LCD’s will not suffer from screen burn in. But look for a LCD with a reaction speed less than 5ms. Anything higher and when playing a video game, fast moving objects will have ghosting.
If money is not much of a concern, look for LCD with again 5ms or less reaction time, or the new standard for tv’s is a 120MHz refresh rate.
DLP stands for Digital Light Projection. There is a single white light source that is projected through a color wheel to split the light into the typical component colors used by each pixel (red, green, blue)—mitsubishi DLP’s use a 6 color wheel instead of three color and possibly makes more colors available thus a more brillant picture. The image is then displayed on the screen, kinda like a projection screen, just from behind instead of head on.
The only problem with prior model DLP’s, was the motor that spins the color wheel would fail after some length in time and would have to be replaced (no tv for probably several weeks)
DLP’s are bigger in size for a smaller price, but the cabinet is much bigger than a LCD or Plasma, and can be as heavy as a few hundred pounds.
The current state of the art DLP does not use a color wheel, Samsung now offers a LED DLP tv, that uses Red, Green, and Blue LED’s. This does not use a motor anymore, and LED’s last 10’s of thousands of hours before replacment, and use very low amounts of energy.
DLP would also be fine to use for game play. And again for the price, rear projection tv’s are much bigger in screen size than a same priced LCD. The other type of rear projection tv’s are Sony’s 3-LCD and top of the line SXRD, with both use liquid crystals to split white light into the component red, blue, green colors.
Hope this helps, there are alot of choices out there
According to the December 2006 issue of Consumer Reports, the very best TV is DLP/LCD front projection. It’s superior to any LCD or plasma flatscreen TV. Such brands as Infocus, Optoma, Epson, Panasonic, etc. make reasonably priced table-top projectors which cast images in excess of 92 inches diagonally and really create a movie house experience. Prices start around $700 and upwards to $1,500. Even though the projector lamps cost around $350.00 they last around 3,000 hours which breaks down to 11 cents per hour.
Here’s a typical set up using an Infocus SP4805 DLP projector projecting the movie “A Good Woman” onto a 92″ diagonally painted Goosystems wall: http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/G/01…
The Infocus SP4805 currently sells as a refurbished unit for $475 on amazon.com.
Good luck!
