I have a 5 year old lg dlp tv, i put a fresh new bulb into it and it a few days ago and the quality is still great. got my pictures coming through 1080i via component. (has no dvi or hdmi) but i would still put it up against the latest plasma, lcd. The only sad point is that you cant get dlp tv’s in the uk anymore, just does’nt seem to have a market for them. I crave for a full hd mitsubishi dlp set. you lucky americans !!
I’m shopping for a homeprojector right now and DLP still seems to be the way to go. Primarily, the contrast and dark levels are much better with DLP. I’ve never seen DLP and LCD side by side but I think I’m leaning toward DLP.
i have a 50” DLP that i bought back in 2005 and back in that time they were better than LCD now LCD’s i’ve been told is better my tv was a samsung and it has been worthless if not for my extended waranty i would have paid around 2500 dollars in repairs the same amount i paid when i bought it the good thing is that i got the warranty pay for the tv itself now i got a check for 2500 and i am going to buy much better tv for less hahaha cool
honestly doc the dlp u bought is just a waste …..they cant make the perfect colors and contrast ….and yeah it has a very low life span which is why they are so cheap……….lcd’s and plsma’s all the way………
I’ve been using DLPs since 2004 and have only had ONE (1) bulb burn out. That was on a Mitsubishi 65″ that I bought in 2005. This TV is located in our garage. Out here in Las Vegas, it gets pretty hot, so I’m not surprised the bulb went out. Fortunately, Fry’s Electronics, where I bought the TV, replaced it for free, due to my extended warranty.
I upgraded from a 2004 Samsung 50″ DLP to a 73″ Mitsubishi in 2008. I now have two 73″, the other from 2007.
-i dont know about you guys (doc) but i watch a tv for sports and movies
-plasmas don’t burn in anymore they don’t have a glare issue anymore
-most plasma are 600hz so why spend a extra 1000 bucks on 240hz lcd lol it’s pointless
-sure doc is gonna backup dlp he spent his money on one .. he’s not gonna say there shitty cause he probably already purchashed atleast 4 lamps for his
this video is old as hell .. if anyone is taking what he says serious your a idiot 2007 .. dlp is awful
dlp = burnt out lamps that he doesn’t mention
-lcd = laggy/ghosting unless 240hz
-plasma = better for sports and movies
I’ve heard from TV repairmen that if chip burns out on DLP televisions, they are as good as dead. Plus I’ve seen plenty of DLP televisions thrown out for this same reason. I bet chip either can not be replaced or can but cost so much that it’s not worth it.
Great video. I’ve been trying to tell people exactly what you just said for years. No one will listen.
I worked at Best Buy right around the time this video was made. I always tried to sell people DLP because it was cheaper, higher quality, and you could go BIG for less too.
Well, Best Buy fired me because they didn’t want me to sell DLP because they didn’t make enough money on them.
He is not saying Plasma is not the best picture. He speaks mostly of functionality. Plasmas & LCD WILL degrade. Where DLP never will. Plasma is very smooth, LCD is very crip & DLP is bright and colorful. DLP is far more movie oriented. Remember Plasma was designed as a monitor.
Don’t forget people this was posted in OCT 2007, LCD is MUCH better than back then. Maybe so close it really doesn’t matter. But I do know that NOW LCD can get blacker than DLP, which is VERY important to me when I watch HD in my dark room, I hope that changes though. Give me a DLP projector that uses LED’s for light and has high lumen, and million to one contrast and I’ll be VERY happy.
This was a very very helpful tip. I’ve been goin’ crazy on which I should buy. This just answered many of my questions that I had before I bought my Mitsubishi..
Now I feen better about it. Thanks Doc !!

@KINGJADEX It’s an awesome price, I got my Mitsubishi DLP 60” HDTV 3D ready tv for that price new.
February 9th, 2010 at 06:45
Thanks! Do you think an untouched Mitsubishi 73″ full HD 3D ready DLP TV is good for a price of 1,500!?

You must be one of those “people on the internet with their opinions” he spoke of.

Bulb change is easy and costs under $99. Most people don’t need to change them for over 3-5 years. It’s worth the money to me.

Something that the first generation rear projectors had that has been fixed in recent years.

What happens when the chip burns out on DLP?
I’ve heard from TV repairmen that if chip burns out on DLP televisions, they are as good as dead. Plus I’ve seen plenty of DLP televisions thrown out for this same reason. I bet chip either can not be replaced or can but cost so much that it’s not worth it.
February 9th, 2010 at 15:37
Why is audio all the way to the right….
February 9th, 2010 at 15:53
