{mosgoogle}DLP TV

Digital Light Processing (DLP) technology TVs are rear projection units offering a sharp and extremely bright image in a fairly lightweight cabinet. At the heart of every DLP TV is an optical semi-conductor which contains more than one million microscopic mirrors, each one less than one-fifth the width of a human hair, that sways back and forth to create the picture.

Pros: While  DLP TVs may not be thin enough to hang on the wall, they don't take up as much space as traditional rear projection - Some units are less than 20 cm deep. The main advantage of DTP TV is their price; they are far less expensive than their flat panel counterparts. You can pocket the savings or you can spend it to get a much bigger size display.

Cons: DLP TVs contain a large lamp that will burn out so you have to budget spending a few hundred dollars to replace it every few years. DLP screens require viewers to sit farther back than flat panel TVs or else the image may look pixilated. Some DLP sets may suffer from a "rainbow effect." However, 7 out of 10 people can not see this effect.
