Question:
Saw this or sale for less than 2 grand. I was going to buy a 42"plasma, but I hear the burn in with dogs can be quite bad.
Then this 44" DLP TV came along, and I'm looking for a reason not to run out and buy one.
They aren't supposed to suffer from the same viewing angle restrictions as standard RP tv's, and are only 340mm thick.
Any bad points I should be aware of?
I hear you guys know your elbows from your @rses :notworthy
Saw one yesterday in Currys (Newtownabbey branch)
A) It wasn't very bright (might have been due to setup)
B) It did have very solid image structure i.e. smooth image, no visible pixel structure.
C) Viewing angle seemed to be the same as all the other RPTVs i.e. directly in front = good, any more than a few degrees to either side = who turned off the TV? :D
Just popped out to Dixons in Liverpool for a look.
It seems to suffer the vertical viewing angle limitations, but I thought the horizontal viewing angle was much better than the other RP's they had.
I must admit, I'm now quite taken with it. Just need to find somebody doing interest free credit, and I'll open my wallet.
Probably a silly question but I know Plasmas are not affected by unshielded speakers and magnetic interference. What about DLP RPTV?
No. Only CRTs use magnetic techniques to distribute the image onto the screen of the CRT. A DLP image is projected purely optically (using a glass lens) and magnetism has no effect on the path of light.
