LCD vs. DLP Projectors

There are two main categories of projectors that you can rent from projector rental companies for short term needs - LCD and DLP projectors. LCD stands for Liquid Crystal Display. An LCD projector produces images when light passes through its three separate glass panels, each with its own color filter (red, blue and green).

DLP (Digital Light Processing) is a technology developed by Texas Instruments and works on a different principle. A projected image is produced when light is reflected off thousands of tiny mirrors or DMD (digital micro devices) present on the DLP chip. While the basic functions of the two projectors are the same, they have their own advantages and shortcomings.

Pros and cons of using an LCD projector

LCD projectors have higher contrast ratios, thanks to their auto iris technology and inorganic panels. They possess greater image clarity due to a better pixel structure. The image quality that you get with an LCD projector is far superior to that of a DLP projector in the same price range. These projectors are very convenient to install. LCD technology is also preferred for its lower power consumption since the bulbs used in these projectors are normally of a lower wattage. You can rent LCD projectors at reasonable rates from projector rental companies.

One disadvantage with LCD projectors is the size of the unit. In spite of having the same number of lumens as a DLP projector, LCDs are visibly larger and bulkier to handle. The blacks can turn out in a lighter shade of gray than in DLPs. Its organic panels are also prone to degradation after long term exposure to heat. Images in turn, become discolored and there is a visible reduction in color contrast.

Pros and cons of using DLP projectors

The DLP projector chip does not require an air filter, which makes the projector easier to maintain as you will not need to change or clean filters frequently. DLP chips are sealed, keeping them free from dust particles. Another major advantage of DLP projectors is that they are easy to carry. Some models weigh as low as 3 lbs but still have the capacity to generate over 1000 lumens. As DLP projectors use a single imaging chip, they also produce bright images, which is an important advantage if you plan to use the projector in an environment with a lot of ambient light.

Projectors running on DLP technology are not easy to install. They do not have lens shift and long zoom as these features add to the weight of the projector and make them bulky. Color separation or rainbow flares can cause problems in videos, movies and other visuals where frames change quickly. These occasional flashes can be quite distracting.

Both LCD and DLP projectors are used in a number of situations like meetings, trainings, seminars, and classrooms. Manufacturers are constantly adding more features and the technology is moving at a rapid pace. If the price tag is stopping you from using one of these devices, you can use the services of a reliable projector rental company to rent latest projector models.

How do many hours are left on my DLP projector?


In the installation menu it says at the "lamp time" function 8H. Does that mean 8 hours used so far or 8 hours left on the bulb? I bought the projector last year and have not used it a lot.

Assuming it is actually working (or that no-one reset the counter unbeknown to you) it is hours used. Note that at best it is a guide since bulbs generally dim slowly and when they need to be replaced is a judgment call. Also depending on whether you use it at full power or on the eco setting, or how you treat the bulb can make a huge difference to lifetime. See the link for what's necessary to get maximum lifetime.

3D Technology Checklist This product is 3D-related. To help you get a great 3D experience, use our checklist below to ensure that you have everything you need. If you have any questions or want to learn more about 3D, we invite you to visit 3D 101--our center for everything 3D. To get started with 3D, please ensure that you have: A Display The first--and most important--item you'll need is a 3D-ready display--whether it be a 3D HDTV, 3D projector, or 3D computer monitor. These displays usually have a higher processing power than older models as they need to display one image for each eye to create a 3D effect. A Source While your display is ready for 3D playback, you still need a device to read 3D content (i.e., a movie or a show). This source can be a cable box with a subscription to a 3D channel, a 3D Blu-ray Disc player, or a PlayStation 3. Content In order to watch 3D, you will need to get some 3D content. This 3D content will come from the source mentioned above in the form of a 3D program, movie, or game. Please ensure that your 3D movies are in the Blu-ray 3D format, as this new format will provide the best 3D experience. 3D Glasses All 3D HDTVs on the market require Active Shutter glasses to create the 3D effect. You will need to buy one pair of glasses for each viewer. Also make sure that the Active Shutter glasses you buy are compatible with your display--for example, buy the glasses from the same brand as your 3D HDTV. HDMI Cable To connect your source (such as a 3D Blu-ray Disc player) to your display, you'll need a hgh-speed HDMI cable. Cables with this designation--with bandwidth speeds up to 10.2 Gbps (gigabits per second)--will be able to carry the 3D signal without any loss of quality. If you want to get more information about 3D, shop our 3D products, watch videos, or interact with other customers, visit 3D 101, our customer center about everything 3D.
