Examples of someone dumping one for feee haha looks so big and heavy. Last edited: Nov 14, NINaudio Audioholic Samurai. Those TVs weigh almost nothing. DLP was great in it's time, but has been surpassed at this point. Pretty sure finding bulbs for these things is going to be impossible at some point.
I had a Sony DLP back in Actually thought the picture looked pretty good for the price at the time, DLP was much cheaper than plasma but LED quality was pretty weak , but the form-factor and having to replace the bulbs got pretty old. If you find one for free that's in good shape, I think it's still a viable option if you don't care about wall-mounting.
The only major downside of this TV is the degradation of the colors Maybe I just need a better tv? It will be a while til I can find a job so if dlp Is superior for movies maybe worth considering one if free. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk. LCD vs. LED vs. Plasma vs. William Lemmerhirt Audioholic Warlord. DLP is not better. Calibrate your tv with a spears and munsil disk for starters. Any one you get will be a fixer upper too.
Calibrate and suffer with your lcd. Get a job. Go to a pawn shop, we have a couple in my town. While the older DLP lamps last between 1, and 2, hours, the newer ones can give you 6, to 7, hours worth of TV viewing. You have to replace the lamp every so often in them. Mitsubishi Electric televisions and projectors are recognized for their outstanding picture quality, ease of use and performance. They are marketed in the United States by Mitsubishi Digital Electronics America, a company with a long history of innovations that have revolutionized home theater.

The panacea of home DLP was when Mitsubishi released their laser light source. Man, 3 absolutely pure color sources blended to your heart's content? I couldn't bring myself to buy one even though the wife was good with it. BurnItDwn Lifer.

BarkingGhostar said:. Jeff, not sure I understand this. The DMD has millions of moving parts, called mirrors. Even in LCD, the liquid crystal has movement of microscopic miniblands that move based on a polar setting and can wear and fail, just like a mirror in a DMD digital micromirror display.
Aikouka Lifer. Nov 27, 30, Lcd is NOT considered a moving part, even in the slightest. DMD's mirrors and color wheel are considered mechanical moving parts, a frequently DO breakdown. Nov 20, 14, Who can forget DLP?
Zaap Diamond Member. Jun 12, 7, I've entertained the thought of replacing it a few times, and eventually a larger 4K TV will probably tempt me to do so, but for now, the Sammy is still giving me my money's worth 8 years on. The electron beam originates from the neck of a picture tube. The beam is deflected on a continuous basis that so it moves across lines of phosphors in a left-to-right fashion, moving down to the next needed line.
This action is done so rapidly that the viewer is able to see what appears to be moving images. Depending on the type of incoming video signal, the phosphor lines can be scanned alternately, which is referred to as interlaced scanning, or sequentially, which is referred to as progressive scan. Another technology, used in rear-projection televisions, is digital light processing DLP. This technology was invented, developed, and licensed by Texas Instruments.
The mirrors are referred to by their more common name, pixels. Every pixel on a DMD chip is a reflective mirror so small that millions of them can be placed on a chip.
The video image is displayed on the DMD chip. The micro-mirrors on the chip tilt rapidly as the image changes. This process produces the gray-scale foundation for the image.
The color is then added as light passes through a high-speed color wheel and reflects off the micro-mirrors on the DLP chip, rapidly tilting toward or away from the light source. The degree of tilt in each micro-mirror coupled with the rapidly spinning color wheel determines the color of the projected image.
As it bounces off the micromirrors, the amplified light is sent through the lens, reflected off a large single mirror, and onto the screen.
Plasma TVs, the first TVs to have a thin, flat, "hang-on-wall" form factor, have been in use since the earlier s. However, many are still in use, and you may still be able to find one refurbished, used, or on clearance. Plasma TVs employ a unique technology. However, the phosphors are not lit by a scanning electron beam.
Instead, the phosphors in a plasma TV are lit by superheated charged gas, similar to fluorescent light. All the phosphor picture elements pixels can be lit at once, rather than having to be scanned by an electron beam. Also, since a scanning electron beam is not necessary, the need for a bulky picture tube CRT is eliminated, resulting in a thin cabinet profile. They are also the most common type of TV available.
However, instead of lighting up phosphors, the pixels are merely turned off or on at a specific refresh rate. In other words, the entire image is displayed or refreshed every 24th, 30th, 60th, or th of a second.
Actually, with LCD you can engineer refresh rates of 24, 25, 30, 50, 60, 72, , , , or so far.
