DLP technology has evolved over the last few years to become a great force in digitally driven TV display technology. While LCoS (Liquid Crystal on Silicon) promises color fidelity comparable to that CRT driven displays and a much higher resolution of 1080p, companies such as Intel have failed to make LCoS a consumer reality. DLP, in the meantime, has been evolving and through that time companies have reduced DLPs shortcomings to make it into a very promising technology for home theater displays, projectors, and commercial theater use.
For all but the last few years, consumer electronics TVs consisted of continuously better products coming forward, and advances in new technologies bringing about better video quality than before. Today, with so many different technologies available, it’s hard not to go into the old mindset that the newest technologies are the most superior, but it’s not necessarily so.
Home theater enthusiasts will attest that it is a great time for home theater. Equipment quality has improved tremendously, and innovation is pumping out at an extraordinary rate with most changes taking place in the realm of video technologies and formats. This staggering number of new technologies is a technogeeks heaven, but a general consumer’s nightmare.
