LCD Projectors

June 21st, 2008

LCD projectors are the modern equivalent of the slide and overhead projector. LCD projectors use a small and usually colored LCD panel placed before a bright lamp, with the images on the screen provided by sources such as a DVD, VCR or a computer. LCD projectors are generally smaller in size and more easily transportable than former systems. Armed with a lens capable of projecting the images on any surface with a flat plane and not requiring supporting furniture like a big-sized television would, LCD projectors are getting increasingly viable with each passing day.

There are certain things to take into account when purchasing an LCD projector. The projector’s resolution generally determines the price; the higher the resolution, the greater the price. If the need is for minute details to be precisely displayed, then higher resolution projectors are the way to go. The LCD projector’s light output depends on the lumens rating, i.e. the higher the lumens rating the brighter the light output. For classrooms, projectors of 1000-2000 lumens suffice; for big conference rooms, the ideal projectors would be those between 2000-3000 lumens.

The ratio between the brightest and darkest spots of an image is called the projector contrast. When purchasing LCD projectors, it is feasible to go for contrasts of 400:1 or higher. This way the best and the clearest pictures are achieved.

If the projector is to be carried around to different locations, then it is best to purchase a light projector. Many LCD projectors today weigh below five pounds. The lighter projectors generally cost more though. Also, it is viable to get an LCD projector with multiple ports, in the event that you want to connect multiple video or computer sources to the projector simultaneously. Another factor that should be considered is the durability of the lamp. Replacements can be an exorbitant deal. A lamp life of 2000 hours is just about ideal.

LCD Vs Plasma

June 20th, 2008

LCD TVs have a florescent backlight that sends light through a polarizing substrate and liquid crystal molecules. LCD TVs work with green, red and blue pixels. When electric current is applied to the pixels, they darken and stop the backlight from coming through. LCD displays can serve as computer displays with a conventional analog VGA input; it is a good way to save budget and space. LCD displays are thin and lightweight and have excellent longevity.

Plasma screens are a network of green, red and blue phosphors placed between two slender layers of glass. Natural gases neon, xenon and argon are used to produce the information, light and color. These gases fade over time. Unlike LCDs, Plasma screens have no backlight or projection; the phosphors give a bright, rich-in-color display along with a broad viewing angle. When plasma screens first entered the market, they gained instant attention for their large screen sizes and flat presentation. Presently, there are some screens over 80″, and big plasma televisions generally gives a sharp picture. The drawback is that plasma displays are power hungry, and, its fragile makes means that it needs to be professionally installed, especially when it has to be mounted on a wall. Though thin, Plasma displays are quite heavy.

LCD screens are starting to catch up with plasma technology in the market, with companies coming up with bigger (55″ and more) and cheaper models. LCDs are usually inferior to plasma technology when it comes to viewing angles (particularly older versions which have narrow angles) and contrast ratios, though they have worked on the “blur” effect, or the slow refreshing of pictures in the latest models. However, LCDs are developing at a distinctly quicker pace compared to their competition.

Plasma technology could be completely overtaken by LCDs in the near future. It would take a massive effort for plasma displays to keep up with the ever-improving LCDs in terms of longevity, contrast ratio, brightness, etc.

Have You Seen LCD Projection TV

June 7th, 2008

Have you seen LCD projection TV? No, really. I don’t just mean a picture online or in an advertisement on a normal tube television, but have you actually seen LCD projection TV? It really is completely different that what even the hardest of hardcore couch potatoes have ever witnessed. It is impossible to properly describe the effect of LCD projection TV, but roughly the LCD projection TV is to normal TV what the CD is to the cassette tape. Leagues of difference, I say. LCD projection TV is the bee’s knees, the cream in your coffee, the sprinkles on your donut, theaw, enough. Let’s cut to the chase.

Big yet sleek and impressive without ostentatiousness, Toshiba has a pair of outstanding 42″ LCD projection TV sets to draw the consumer’s eye. The featured Toshiba LCD projection TV, the 42″ LCD projection TV, is but one representative of the “Diagonal Cinema Series” bunch. Just under thirty-five hundred dollars (see Toshiba.com for ordering information), this 42″ LCD projection TV comes replete with Toshiba’s “adaptive LCD projection TV technology,” which makes feasible the addition of innumerable extensions to this LCD projection TV, thereby allowing all your favorite doodads all the benefits of LCD projection TV, up to and including Dolby-based sound systems.

Speaking of sound systems, have you heard the Sony LCD projection TV line? No, I mean have you really heard a Sony LCD projection TV? Well, it’s Sony and that right there says a lot. Audio has been at the heart of Sony business since time immemorial (okay, the 1950s to be precise), thereby levering LCD projection TV sets against the competition as in other audiovisual fields.

Sony product information promises the LCD projection TV to be at center of a complete audio “suite.” Stuff like Focus technology, TruBass and SRS 3-D dot the T’s and cross the I’s of the LCD projection TV experience. It is said that good sound can save an average movie, but poor sound can ruin a great movie. If one of the prime selling points of LCD projection TV in general is the technology’s presentation of movies, Sony LCD projection TV should be a must on any serious LCD projection TV shopper’s priority list. See Sonystyle.com for the entire LCD projection TV line, not to mention a tantalizing description of SRS WOW technology; you can rest well assured that this will warm the movie goer’s cockles.
