Hi,

They're both good and at the same time, they both have their specific problems, depending on the manufacturer, size of screen and intended uses.

The LCD sets are becoming higher in resolution and are now comparable to the dlp sets. What I would suggest though, it that you decide which one you like looking at best and then at least decide on what type, LCD or DLP you'd rather have.

Keep in mind that the big box stores spend a lot of money on making sure the TV's displayed in the showroom display the highest quality picture. That's usually a high definition DVD or at the least, a HD satellite feed. Chances are that when you get it home, and unless you have all HD equipment, you'll not see the same picture quality you saw in the showroom.

With all that being said, this is where you have to do some homework. Check Consumer Reports, keeping in mind that they usually rate the new models and product's service history hasn't been established since the TV's are so new. Also check 'blogs and answer boards on the internet. Usually there, you'll hear about TV's that are a year old or older. Why do that? Because the manufacturer's past product lines and complaints could be a good guideline on what to expect.

Once you've gathered all your information and have made your decision, do one last thing: BUY THE EXTENDED SERVICE CONTRACT! The costs to have service come out and the costs of the parts could prevent you from being able to repair your set once the factory warranty runs out. The parts for today's TV's are very expensive and sometimes as much as the original cost of the TV.

Hope this helps,

Each one is better than the other for different reasons. CRT is best for longevity and is way more durable as you can take a Baseball bat to a CRT screen with a very considerable amount of force and suffer no damage while a whiffle bat will destroy an LCD. LCDs on the other hand are much easier to transport, light weight and considerably smaller. Now that CRT TVs are no longer being produced we don't really have to asking ourselves this question any longer.

If you where to look at rating for the most reliable MFG of TV's it would be

Panasonic. If you are asking about the best picture, then it is usually the most expensive

models. I would have to say Samsung. Buy this falls on you as to the best picture.

Find a store and check the picture before you buy.

Good luck in finding the right TV.

DLP or Digital Light Processing uses mirrors and a colour wheel to create an image from a incandescent light source. LCD uses liquid crystals that align and block or permit the passage of light from a flourescent or LED light source.

DLP was used in projection televisions, which are now almost completely replaced with LCD and Plasma displays on today's market. DLP is still used in home and commercial video projectors.

LCD is the currently the most popular method of television and computer monitor image creation.

How do you know if your TV is digital or analog?

"Standard-definition" (meaning 480i) Cathode-ray tube televisions are analog. CRT TV's are easily identifiable by their immense weight and the fact that their depth nearly matches their width and height. Newer, hi-def (720p, 1080i/p) televisions are almost all either lcd, plasma, or dlp, all of which are digital. for digital TV monitor shouldnot be of CRT.


Can you compare the picture quality of LCD TV's with plasma TV's?

Interesting question. Having worked on LCD, DLP and plasma sets, I've found that a lot of it depends on several factors. Truth is, they can all provide fantastic pictures, but they also vary from model to model. Much of it depends on your signal source, and one of the things you need to keep in mind, is when you're in a store looking at all the displays, the store will have provided the highest quality HDTV signal they can afford in their system, and they'll all look great. When you get it home though, it's going to be a different story. It depends on whether you're taking the signal off air, whether or not you have analog or digital satellite or digital cable, how good the signal is from the receivers or cable box and whether or not it's a HD receiver/cable box. But that's just the beginning. Are you using the HDMI (High definition Multimedia Interface) connection, RGB cables (quality varies greatly) or the regular RF inputs. LCD TV's now have 1080 resolution, so does DLP and Plasma. So taking all the other items into consideration, it's really a personal choice of appearance, how it's mounted and optional features as well as personal budget. The "best picture" comes when you have an extended warranty contract, and a reliable company to back it up. The reason for this is simply because some replacement parts and service calls would cost you as much as the TV did originally. That's something I've seen time and time again.

Will glass plus with jet dry ruin your dlp tv screen?

If your DLP projection TV is anything like my Samsung DLP than no. On mine the screen is a piece of plastic which from the front is flat and the back is designed to better project the image. I have used glass cleaners to clean mine and no problems yet. I would recommend that you spray the cleaner onto the cloth so it doesn't drip down the screen into the electrical components of the television.

What is a DLP television?

A DLP is a digital light projection tv. Sometimes it's a projector and sometimes it's a rear projection tv, The advantage lies in the price advantage gained at very large screen sizes.

What is a DLP television and is it good?

DLP (Digital Light Processing) technology utilizes a small Digital Micromirror Device (DMD) to tilt more than 1.3 million micromirrors-each of them less than the width of a human hair-toward (ON) or away from (OFF) the light source inside the DLP. This process creates light or dark pixels on the face of the projection screen.
