An interesting item about DLP vs LCD... http://plasmatvbuyingguide.com/lcdtv.html
That article is a bunch of nonsense and should be ignored.
They keep saying "Advantage LCD" but when you read the fine print it admits that the Advantage is actually to the DLP.
Then they flat out lied about the color saturation. My DLP has megafantastic color saturation similar to a properly tuned 1084S. It makes videogames look unbelievably awesome. Vastly superior to any LCD.
I have compared many LCD monitors side by side with my DLP. For example having multiplayer Dead Island parties. The DLP always looks very noticeably better. Everyone always wants to come to my house to play games.
Another dumb thing about the article is saying that DLPs have colorwheels? Say what? That was an ancient obsolete technology used a long long time ago. I bought my DLP 4.5 years ago and it has no color wheel. Obviously you should not buy a monitor with a colorwheel. As long as you buy any normal random DLP monitor it won't have a colorwheel and will have a great picture. The only way to get a better picture for movies or videogames is to get a plasma.
The only advantage an LCD monitor has for the consumer is for reading static nonmoving text on a webpage which has been rendered specifically to the native resolution of the LCD monitor. Other than that one use, LCDs are really a ripoff. LCDs exist to benefit the corporation, not the consumer. For gaming and movie watching you are always better off with either a Plasma, DLP or CRT monitor.
I wouldn't mind buying a giant 60" LCD monitor specifically for writing code. But that's all. Movies look much worse on LCD. Games look much worse on LCD.
My brother has bought many LCD monitors from Best Buy, brought them to my house, hooked them up next to my DLP and then said "HOLY CRAP! THIS LOOKS HORRIBLE!" and then he takes them back and gets a refund.
Common LCD Problems:
Everything looks super blocky and jagged all the time.
A lot of them cannot show a BLACK color. All they manage is a dark grey. Its really awful.
Lame viewing angle. If you are outside the viewing angle the picture turns to crap.
Weird fringing fx when certain pixels change from certain colors to other "far away" colors.
Smaller sizes.
Costs more per inch. (I haven't checked the prices in over a year so this could have changed by now)
Drinks more electricity per inch.
Generates more heat per inch.
Sometimes a pixel will burn out. (Dead Pixel Syndrome). This is really awful and I never saw it happen on any CRT, DLP or Plasma monitor. Why buy a defective unreliable product when there are so many other better products to choose from?
