Front Projection Television
2006-05-14 02:00:00
Front Projection An Affordable Big Screen Option for your Home TheaterA great deal of consumer appeal for rear projection TV systems arises out of the shear simplicity that this product offers as an immediate solution to getting a bigger TV. In addition, most big screen high street retailers seem to give the impression that rear projection television systems are cheaper than most front projection TVs. This may be true in retail stores, but not necessary so when buying online. On the internet, it is most likely that for a given budget level, front projection TVs will deliver a much more cinema-like experience in terms of picture size and quality than any other TV picture technology. (Should you decide to buy online, please check out Projection TV Buying Guide for more information.)Clearly, there is market for both - the main decisive factor being your home theater room size.At the same time, one cannot ignore the fact that front projection TVs seem to offer a number of advantageous over

Sony KDFE42A10 - The Review
2006-05-13 05:16:00
By J. B. Mccord (San Diego, CA) Well, after wayyy too much research and hemming and hawing, I finally decided on this 3LCD RPT by Sony . What finally swayed me was the sweet combination of picture quality (PQ) and price. In side by side comparisons I just couldn't detect enough (with my eyes at least) PQ difference between this RPT and the plasma tv's to justify spending twice the money. While standard definition signals are only mediocre, the HD and DVD signals are simply awesome. I use component cables and a Motorola set top box (stb) provided by Adelphia. The side to side viewing angle is greatly improved over previous generations of projection tv's (as is the brightness and crispness), but beware; the vertical viewing angle is quite narrow. My built-in media niche is elevated a bit, which puts the tv above my head when seated on the couch. There is a very slight dimming from this angle. However, it's nothing that I haven't been able to compensate for with some picture adjustme

Bring a true cinema experience into your own living room with the 42-inch Sony KDFE42A10 rear-projection LCD TV, which features a new design with a thin dark black bezel, a compact body and invisible speakers located at the bottom of the set. It features built-in analog (NTSC) and HDTV digital (ATSC) tuners. (Digital high-definition programming is available via terrestrial signals (over-the-air) or unscrambled cable signals provided by your cable company.) It's also Digital Cable Ready, so you can enjoy digital cable without an additional box or remote. The KDFE42A10 uses the 3LCD video projection system, which combines three LCD panels to produce an image for a brighter picture in well-lit rooms, intensly vibrant natural colors, and spectacular HD performance. It's driven by Sony's WEGA Engine System, which delivers superb picture quality from any video source by minimizing the signal deterioration caused by digital-to-analog conversion and stabilizing the signal processing.

What are the Projection Television Technologies Available For Me?by: Bill Ransom There are four types of rear-projection TV's available currently. These are the older CRT rear-projection, DLP rear-projection, LCD rear-projection and LCoS rear-projection. Most available today are HD ready and can display digital signals. CRT Rear-projection : these are the projection TV's that have been on the market for years. CRT or Cathode Ray Tube technology is the same technology that your old TV set's used. There are three tubes in these projection TV's each for a primary color and they project the light onto the TV's screen. Since they require three CRT tubes these TV's are very big and deep. Most CRT projection TV's come in 50 inches or larger screen size. CRT rear-projection TV's are becoming extint and many companies do not make them anymore. They need to be adjusted frequently to keep the colors in line and the image quality and viewing angles are not as good as the next three rear-p

The transmissive projection types include CRTs and liquid crystal displays (LCDs). Here's a brief overview of how they work:CRTA CRT projector uses much smaller tubes than a standard television. These tubes create the picture the same way a standard TV does -- by firing electrons at a phosphor-coated screen. A CRT projector can include:One color CRT with red, green and blue phosphorsOne black-and-white CRT and a spinning color wheel that adds the colorThree CRTs, one each for red, green and blueLiquid crystal display (LCD)Electrical currents can cause liquid crystals to change their shape. This allows them to act as light valves -- different amounts of current allow different amounts of light to pass through the crystal. This lets the LCD device create a greyscale image. To add color, most projectors use a series of mirrors that split the light into red, green and blue beams. Each beam passes through a separate LCD, and a lens collects the three beams and projects the image on the scr

Are Plasma Or Projection TV's Better For Your Home Theater?
2006-05-23 03:58:00
Which One Is Better, Plasma Or Projection TV?By Tim Gorman When you are setting up your home theater you need to decide on what is the best way for you to watch. Many people would not have anything other than a projector as it adds to the cinema theme as well as giving you a very good image as big as you want. But many others do not want to deal with projectors and screens and would rather have the convenience of a TV style screen that you just turn on and play the DVD in as you would in any other room but on a bigger screen.If you are using a projector then it is a good idea to make sure that your room has good thick curtains so that you can block the light from the room. As the image is produced through a projected light then it is best to use a projector in a fairly dark room. With some of the latest projectors they have a light sensor so that if the light is too bright for the image then it brightens the light to make it stronger. You also have to set up a projector for the movie a


Rear-projection Television

Rear-projection Television If a very large screen size is important to you, look into rear-projection televisions. These sets don't have the same size constraints as direct-view televisions because they don't use the cathode ray tube for the display. Instead, they use a projection screen. There are lots of different types of rear-projection televisions. They include: Cathode ray tube (CRT), which uses three CRTs, one each for red, green and blue. These can produce a great picture with good contrast but can also be heavy and bulky. Digital Light Processing (DLP), which uses one or three digital micromirror devices (DMDs) to create all of the pixels that make up the image. DLP sets also create a good picture, but gaps between the micromirrors can produce a screen door effect. Some users also notice a rainbow effect when moving their focus from one part of the screen to another in sets that use only one DMD. Liquid Crystal Display (LCD), which directs light through liquid crystals and ma


"LIGI HDTV", The New Projection TV
2006-06-26 02:47:00
“LIFI HDTV ”, I have never heard of this product before, but it is a very bright and beautiful LCD rear projection TV. I was not familiar with it, but it's a new model prepared for this year's CES.The application of the new “LIFI” light source is one of its key developments; it has such a long lifespan that you no longer need to change the lamps, and it has an extremely short start-up time of 1-2 seconds. Furthermore its range of color reproducibility is 1.44 times more than the HDTV standard. In addition to this phenomenal color reproducibility, it has many other alluring specifications. Although “LIFI HDTV” is a new line-up that has just been introduced, it certainly has joined the ranks of other alternative full high definition flat-screen TVs.

Lens Flare - The Hidden Enemy Of Rear-Projection TVs
2007-07-04 04:33:00
While one expects CRT-based rear projection televisions to deliver good black levels, there is a factor that can compromise black level performance in any rear-projection display. This factor is something called lens flare. Lens flare is most commonly seen in photographs. It usually occurs when the photographer is shooting in the general direction of the sun. Bright sunlight enters the lens at an angle and bounces around inside the lens body. As it reflects off of the interior parts of the lens, some of it ends up getting on to the film, usually in the form of bright circles or shapes, broad smears of light, or lines. Binocular, telescope, and camera lens manufacturers all try to make the inside of their optical assemblies as dark as possible and also add light baffles to try to waylay the misdirected light so that it does not spoil the image Rear projection televisions also suffer from lens flare. The best place to see lens flare is usually during the end titles of a film. Often the t

Rear Projection LCD TV Secrets

The least expensive type of large TV is a rear-projection LCD TV. Some projection TVs have three cathode-ray picture tubes (CRTs), which are like smaller versions of the tubes used in conventional sets. The images from those small tubes are projected onto the back of a 40 inch to 60 inch plus screen, giving them the name rear projection TV. Other rear projection TV sets use LCD, digital light
