More about DLP HDTV

High Definition TVs (HDTV) are available with the Digital Light Processing (DLP) technology for TVs and computer monitors. The DLP chip comprises of millions of microscopic mirrors and is faster than any other HDTV technology. This means it provides razor sharp moving images and the result is a crisp, bright picture with deep, rich colors that's closer to film.

This makes DLP HDTVs very easy on the eye. DLP TV will perform exceedingly well under most ambient light conditions. Also there is no eye-strain as DLP TVs don't flicker the way old-fashioned TVs do. Display picture is smooth, colorful, and impeccably realistic.

DLPs do not have annoying scan lines like conventional CRT TVs. This owes to the fact that each pixel has its own optical equivalent in the DMD chip itself. The result is a smooth, evenly lit image across the whole display surface, even at the edges.

DLP TVs deliver strikingly clear, non-pixilated images with perfect geometry. Unlike CRTs, DLPs can display perfectly straight lines. This makes DLP monitors especially good for use with graphic-intensive software applications like PageMaker or Excel.

However DLP TV’s viewing angles are one dimensional. They are horizontal. You can watch DLP television about 70° to 75° in either direction from the center of the screen along what would be the horizontal or y-axis. DLPs need to be positioned at eye level. Any higher or lower makes for an awfully dim viewing experience.
