I am looking for a new projector for my home and I was wondering what the pros and cons of LCD and DLP projectors were. The projector would be in a room with windows so there would be ambient light conditions during the day in case this affects the decision on which type of projector to get.
Lance gave you info on HDTVs … not projectors.
DLP and LCD projectors are two of three common technologies (The third is LCoS … a variation on LCD). At one time DLP was considered to provide better contrast ratio than LCD, but to be more prone to causing visual field issues (so called “rainbow effect” .. caused by the relatively slowly spinning color wheel used in DLP projectors) in susceptible viewers. While LCD projectors were more prone to “screen door effect” … visible lines between individual pixels (LCoS’s big advantage was the absence of “screen door effect”).
In modern projectors there is no longer an automatic superiority by DLP projectors re contrast, “rainbow effect” is no longer a concern (due to higher color wheel rate) and with 1080p projectors fairly common, screen door is no longer a significant issue.
While not universally true, LCD projectors tend to have greater mounting flexibility (due to lens offset and greater zoom lens capability) than most DLP projectors, but due to the three LCD panels required are more expensive and more prone to degradation of the LCD panels with time.
That all said, I’d suggest considering the specs and features on the models in your budget range as being more important than whether the projector is based on DLP or LCD (or LCoS) technology.
