I am looking to purchase a projector for my home but I am uncertain of the pros and cons of a lcd and dlp projector. If anyone could give me sufficient information on the difference of the two I would greatly appreciate it.
Answer
At one time DLP and LCD were considered to have areas where each was superior. For example, contrast was better on DLP, while 'rainbow effect" was a DLP phenomenon but not a concern with LCD, while 'screen door effect' was an LCD phenomenon not DLP. Today there is not too much to choose between the two technologies in terms of performance ... which is what matters.
However, DLP projectors tend to be a bit less expensive that LCD models (which in turn are cheaper than LCOS ... a third type). This is largely because lower priced DLP units use a single DLP chip, while LCD projectors all must use 3-LDC panels ... making optics and construction a bit more complex. Furthermore DLP projectors tend to have less mounting flexibility due to a fixed lens i.e. lack of offset capability (a feature whereby the image can be moved relative to the projector to allow it to register properly on a screen). And DLP models tend to have narrower zoom ranges than LCD models.
However, longevity of DLP is as good or better than LCD (In fact organic LCD panels can fail in a few years, making inorganic panels the right choice). And high end HT projectors ($10,000+) tend to be 3 chip DLP machines, so DLP can certainly give great results. In fact one manufacturer is just about to introduce a 4K DLP projector.
So ... bottom line ... don't worry about the technology (DLP or LCD). Look at performance specs and features and buy what gives you the best bang for the $$. See the link for lots of good advice and reviews.

LCD or Plasma T.V. for my bedroom?
Balto
Hello,
I plan on making somewhat of a home-theater out of my bedroom, and so I'm looking to buy a 65"+ television. I've been hearing Plasma is better for a larger sized T.V., but I've also heard that when you're sitting close to a Plasma, it is not as good for the eyes as a LCD. (I also plan on using the screen as a computer monitor, so I will be approx. 60-80 inches away from the screen) I was looking into maybe a 82" DLP LCD projector, or a 65" Plasma, but I haven't decided yet. So, with my wanting of a large sized T.V. and being relatively close, what are your recommendations?
Thank you!
