Bill H. Posted January 23, 2009 Author Share Posted January 23, 2009 My bad.........I realized after I posted that this was probably Old technology (DLP) that was discontued by Samsung (Song technology)............ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted January 23, 2009 Moderators Share Posted January 23, 2009 Does the age of the technology matter if it's 1080p ? The only thing possibly bad is the price of the bulb, although some are not bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverSport Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 and sometimes come with one spare...and some places will give you or sell you an extended service policy that covers the bulb...might be worth it... Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark1101 Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 If I'm not mistaken those big DLPs have a "viewing range". Is that correct? I vaguely remember this. Basically, the proper focal point of the TV is a certain distance back from the TV based on the size of the screen. You have to be able to get back far enough to get the best picture. I can remember at Best Buy some of the big screens were in the 20Ft. range. They had the floor marked. So you need a big room. Does this sound right or am I thinking about a different TV technology?

Not sure how the different technology affects that but I think it is mostly what they call screen door effect. It's like looking through screen, the point when you can see an affect of individual pixels(if I remember correctly). The better the picture like 1080p would help with that. With standard def if I walk up to our TV I can see it from about 3 feet, but on a HD channel the Tv is 1080I and you can get a foot away and not see it. We sit about 12' back from a 65'' and even on regular channels it's good just not as clear as the HD, the colors are even better in HD. We got this TV about 3 years ago just when the technology was changing to DLP, it's a CRT rear projection, they are rated very well for blacks and life expectancy but were about a foot deeper and much heavier #260 compared to the DLP.

toddvj Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Yeah, it's crazy how cheap DLPs are now. 5 years ago they were the hottest thing on the market. Now, according to a friend of mine who manages an Ultimate Electronics store, they can't give the things away. 5 years ago they were selling 46 inchers for $4000 and couldn't keep them in stock. They wouldn't even give you a discount on them because of the high demand. And those TVs were only 720p. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USNRET Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 5 y.o. 62" DLP here sitting at about 12-13'. My only complaint is the cable card fan noise (runs even when TV is off). They need a way to disable if you don't use cable card. I might have to 'snip it'. Bulbs are about 150 if you buy them with cartridge. I am on my 3rd bulb counting original., they never failed just reached the hour marker and the lamp change advisory came on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe one of the major drawbacks of DLP televisions is the more narrow viewing angle when watching. (The image gets progressively worse as you move off to the sides).
