DLP is a technology which should just stay dead. Even with a 500,000:1 contrast ratio, the fact that it produces the worst picture of all 3 formats shows it's about the benjamins, not about the picture.

Plasma, LCD, and DLP. That's the order of clarity for good reason.

Note: CRT is still the best, but who makes CRTs anymore?

The thing I hate most about DLP and projection LCD, and HD projectors for that matter, is that you have to plop down 70 to 200 bucks for a new bulb every year or two to keep these TVs running. That is not a cost savings.

DLP had an AWESME tv that could display 2 video feeds at once and when you wore glasses one person saw one video and the other glasses saw the other video. There was a switch on the glasses too. It works by using a 120 Hz tv and alternating between the videos. It was amazing the video was PERFECT.

I have been selling tv's for a couple years now... so here is my take on it.

Laser is going to be the next big thing.

You think LCD/Plasma looks good? Just wait, from what i have been told BY Mitsubishi its THEIR lasers that are going into it (Mitsubishi is a leader in laser tech) and you will even be able to mount these TV's on the wall. They will still use a DLP chip (from what im told) and the contrast ratio will be well over 100,000:1 (which means that this will look really good).

I thought mitsu was going to reveal it this year at CES... i guess not?

DLP will be around for a long time still to come. Mostly in actual projectors though. Soon all movie theaters will upgrade to DLP projection because of the clarity.

We shall see what happens
