What
the Heck Is A DLP TV?
• New TV technology is
popping up left and right . . . here’s the latest: DLP
technology! DLP
produces
a brilliant, lifelike, razor-sharp picture, making DLP home
entertainment a visually stunning experience.
•
A DLP TV
features very sophisticated technology that uses over a million
tiny mirrors to produce the image on the screen. It makes very
efficient use of the light in the image, producing a brighter
picture than Plasma or LCD TVs.
•
DLP may
even be the wave of the future; one day soon you’ll see DLP
images on your movie theater screen as digital cinema replaces
film. But is a DLP TV the right choice for your
home?

TV Right For You?

The Top 12 Reasons Why!
•
At the heart of every DLP TV is a DMD chip; a
Digital Micromirror Device. A DMD is a very sophisticated light
switch, containing more than a million tiny hinge-mounted mirrors.
Each mirror reflects the light for a single pixel, the tiny dots
that make up the television image.
•
When a DMD chip gets instructions
from a digital video signal, its mirrors reflect the digital image
onto a screen. The DMD and it’s sophisticated electronics are
called Digital Light Processing technology.
•
DLP is a highly reliable,
all-digital display chip that delivers a fantastic picture on
large-screen digital HDTVs and projectors for business, home and
digital cinema. In televisions and home theater systems, DLP
projection creates rich blacks and darker shades than is possible
with other technologies.
•
The Tiny Mirrors in a DLP TV are
mounted on hinges; they tilt toward the light source or away from
it, creating a light or dark pixel on the screen. The digital
signal entering the DLP’s chip tells each mirror to switch on
or off up to several thousand times per second.
•
When A Mirror is switched on more
frequently than off, it reflects a light gray pixel; a mirror
that's switched off more frequently reflects a darker gray pixel.
DLP televisions can reproduce up to 1,024 shades of gray,
converting the video signal into a highly detailed grayscale
image.
•
The White Lamp in a DLP television
shines through a color wheel which filters the light into red,
green, and blue. A DLP projection television can put more than 16.7
million colors on the screen.
•
Digital Movie Theater Projection is the wave of the
future. A three DMD chip system found in DLP Cinema projection
systems is capable of creating over 35 trillion colors; over eight
times more than is possible with film.
•
DLP Televisions deliver stunning
images in your home, and the all-digital nature of DLP televisions
makes them ideal for enjoying television programming, the Internet,
video games, and digital still images, all in one place.
•
DLP Technology makes rear projection
televisions more robust and more reliable. DLP TVs are not
susceptible to heat, humidity or vibration; factors which cause an
image to degrade over time.
• The DMD Chip at the core of DLP
televisions allows TV manufacturers to make slimmer wide-screen
televisions and portable projectors weighing as little as two
pounds that are bright enough for lights-on presentations.
•
A DLP HDTV should last a very
long time; the DMD chip is very reliable. There is no maintenance
or alignment required as they age. The biggest headache is the need
to replace the DLP lamp after 8,000 to 10,000 hours of use (about
$250). The micro-mirrors used in DLP are not subject to degradation
due to heat, humidity, vibration or "burn-in". Tests have shown
hinge failure on the micro mirrors is not significant.
•
Because DLP TV uses a mirror
technology there is no possibility of screen burn-in. Regular TVs
using CRTs or Plasma can sustain burn-in if a static image is left
on the screen for too long. There are no phosphors in DLP TVs to
degrade (get worse) over time. This means that unlike a Plasma, a
DLP TV can be used as a PC monitor or for video games without
fear.

Guide
To Plasma TV
• A DLP TV uses complex
technology to flip millions of tiny mirrors to provide a brilliant
image; it’s perfect for Home Theater, business or even
cinemas! You may need to replace the lamp in the TV after 8000
hours of use, but the TV itself should last a lifetime.
•
A DLP TV
will not suffer from screen burn-in like a plasma or picture tube
TV (CRT), and testing shows that the technology is very reliable.
The DLP TV screen is so bright because of efficient use of the
image light, outshining LCDs, Plasmas and CTRs.
