OK, quite by chance (I didn't take both these pix) I have what I think is
a good analogy for what I perceive to be the difference between analogue
and digital, valves and SS. See these very similar pix:

They are both handheld snaps of virtually the same frame from the same
film film - one from a DLP projector and one from an LCD projector.

Someone ought to tell you how to properly adjust the pickture on a video
projector.


Really? I didn't adjust the picture on *either* of those projectors,
asitappens..


Initially, the DLP image doesn't strike you as sharp as that from the LCD
and DLP projectors suffer from 'artifacts' that are not present with LCD.

The LCD projector pix has color shift up the ying-yang. Anybody with
non-trivial experience with video projectors should immediately notice
that some adjustment is in order.


I think you place too much trust in a digital photo, but you may be right -
that's my son's photo. The *amazing coincidence* is that he already had that
taken (be weeks or possibly even months) when I sent him the DLP shot. It's
damn near the same frame........



Also the DLP projector is noisier, runs hotter and is much bigger than
the LCD. If you have not seen a DLP projector and only use an LCD one, it
will satisfy you completely and they are very easy and convenient to use.

In fact I have one of each in use in the same room. The two projectors
aren't really comparable and neither are the applications. However,
there's no overwhelming advantages of one over the other for the given
application.


Intrigued. What different applications do you use them for?

(We use projectors for movies and, er, movies....??)


On paper the case for the LCD is strong, in reality the DLP ****es all
over it....

In reality, the differences in implementation and installation quality
outweigh most technical details related to the basic principles of
operation.


Nonsense...
