What’s the difference between DLP and LCD?
Question: What is the difference between dlp and lcd other than price?
Answer #1: One thing I love about my LCD is there is no glare, ever. I have a room with lots of outside light pouring in, but because LCDs don’t have a glass screne like the plasmas there is never any glare.
Answer #2: I don’t know why people won’t consider DLP — if you are hanging tv on wall the it is LCD vs Plasma but if it is going in place of old tv then DLP is way to go == it is less expensive and the picture absolutely rocks.
Answer #3: DLP is fine, but doesn’t have the wide viewing angle. DLP is a great technology, especially for the mega-huge sets (60″), but it still fails to match LCD or Plasma in terms of brightness or viewing angle. One of my favorite things about my LCD is that I can see it clearly and brightly, even from extreme angles. Makes it great for having a bunch of people over to watch a game.
Answer #4: I shoot HD and prefer DLP. Unless you want to hang it on a wall, DLP is the way to go. I have a 61-inch Samsung thats 3 years old and this viewing angle is not a horizontal issue - its a verticle issue. In my room the seating spans about 100 degrees and the picture is no worse at either end. However, if you stand up the quality dips a touch.
Who watches TV standing up?
Buy the largest TV you can afford or have room for. If you pass up on a 56-61 inch DLP for a 42 inch Plasma or LCD, and room or preference to hang it on a wall isn’t an issue, you’re making a mistake…in my opinion.
My 61-inch set now looks a lot smaller than it did when I bought it. Always get the biggest screen you can afford and if you have to move to DLP to get it, because you’ll spend a lot more for a plasma thats really big.
