DLP TV

What is DLP TV? DLP TV is one of the newest of television technologies that has become well explored over the past few years as flat panels have become popular and the best kinds of techniques for implementing them have been aggressively pursued. Dr. Larry Hornbeck invented the DLP TV system way back in 1987 and it has finally been developed to the point where it is one of the top technologies for creating high definition TV systems. DLP stands for Digital Light Processing. The system uses a projector chip on the back of the screen, making it a back-projection system. The chip is filled with thousands and thousands of tiny mirrors which are redirected to project pixels of light. Meanwhile, there is a color wheel that is placed between the chip and the screen (which is similar to one of the early models of color television that was developed by CBS in the fifties) that flashes red, green and blue.

By reading DLP TV reviews and sDLP TV review pages in magazines and on the web you can compare some of the most popular types of DLP projection TV sets such as the Samsung DLP TV, Mitsubishi DLP TV and Toshiba DLP TV. DLP TV versus plasma TV is an interesting comparison; there are some drawbacks to HP DLP TV: some people have reported a 'rainbow effect' where it seems as though the red, green and blue parts of the image start to separate - this is said to be a result of the human eye getting used to the rate at which the color wheel inside the DLP TV rotates. Some people seem to notice the effect immediately and with others it comes and goes. A DLP TV is also not quite as thin as the other kinds of flat screens, but it has perfect geometry and a light source that can easily be replaced (for example, Samsung DLP TV lamps; Samsung DLP TV replacement lamps and other brands of DLP TV lamps can be purchased online for cheap and can generally be installed in a very straight-forward way without having to spend time sending the DLP TV to a repair man.

The best DLP TV set will forever be a matter of opinion, however by going to the store and taking a look at the picture quality (while making sure that you do not experience the rainbow effect as described above), seeing what the various DLP TV sets look like and how they can be controlled with the programmed menu systems, you can find a DLP TV that suits you.
