Today, I will take a look at DLP and LCD televisions and try and give you a comprehensive strategy of how each technology works and how to decide between the two. You should be informed when you go in to the stores to shop, and knowing a little bit about the televisions can make all the difference in the world.
DLP and LCD television sets are competing technologies, battling for the consumer’s dollars and both of them are winning. How you will use your television makes all the difference in the world and honestly matters more than the actual television you buy. When you know how you plan on using your TV, you can begin to factor in the benefits of both television sets and decide on the right one for your purposes. Each one has their own benefits, and the real crux of the matter comes with how you want to use the DLP and LCD television in your home.
Technologies are Getting Closer
DLP, which stands for Digital Light Processing, uses a small digital micromirror device to tilt other mirrors that are about the size of human hair in the right direction towards or away from a white lamp inside the television. This process then makes a light or dark pixel on the screen and, depending on how much light is reflected on the mirrors, reflects the correct image on the screen by bending the light. This technology, can actually produce 1024 shades of gray, making it extremely unique in its possibility and creating a lot more complication in the battle between DLP and LCD television.
LCD television uses an array of transistors to reflect the light energy into the proper picture and tone. The crystals in the television are filled with liquid and are placed between two sheets of glass. When these crystals are hit with an electrical charge, they begin to split and filter white light in the correct directions. This produces color through a process of subtracting other kinds of light out of the equation. Comparatively, the DLP and LCD television operate in very different ways.
