In Reply to: DLP, still need for separate video processor? posted by Audistic on December 3, 2002 at 18:10:40:
Make sure you do a lot of research before buying a projector, especially the DLP variety.Keep in mind that the image on the screen from a DLP projector is never correct. At any given moment, the image on the screen is only one color. Your eye/brain has to do all the work of combining the colors. Sure, the colors are alternating REALLY fast, but they're still alternating.
Some people complain of flicker and rainbow, and some even get headaches. Personally, I get the feeling that there's something "not right" when I'm watching a DLP image. They're getting better all the time, but just be aware.
On the other hand, you do indeed get better black levels with DLP versus LCD. However, LCD projectors with high brightness and contrast give a good illusion of black, when it's really gray. Interestingly, blacks on the screen look much darker than the surrounding wall. Our eyes are more sensitive to relative brightness than absolute.
If you have the money to spend, there's also DILA technology, which seems to offer the best of both worlds.
Good luck!
