The earliest Digital Projector were based on Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) technology. We have podcast episodes in the archives all about it, but most of them were lost in the transition to our new website. Bottom line, LCD is a tried and true technology. It typically has very vibrant color and provide a very sharp, crisp picture.
On the downside, LCD’s vibrant color and crisp picture tends to produce video that doesn’t looks quite as real or lifelike as other technologies. Many describe it as looking more digital. It also doesn’t have the contrast capabilities of the other technologies, which is critical to home theater applications. For the office, LCD is great, for the home theater, it hasn’t quite won the hearts and minds of the masses.
Bottom line, LED Projector is bright, vivid and inexpensive. DLP projectors are darker, provide better contrast and don’t cost as much. LCoS projectors probably give the best picture, but they cost a lot. You have to weigh the pros and cons for yourself and see what your budget will allow. In the end, though, no matter what you choose, there’s no denying that a 120″ screen is pretty darn cool.
