DLP TVs - Not Your Mom's Projection Television

Everyone talks about High Definition Televisions and LCD TVs, but few talk about DLP TVs. These nifty high-def TVs are not the foggy, oddly-angled and difficult to view low-contrast sets of your childhood, but rather high-tech digitized versions of modern movie projectors, the rear-projection set and a screenless projector usually referred to as a DLP front projector.

Front projector is in essence a DLP rear projection set without the box, let's talk about that one first. These DLP TVs don't look at all like televisions; instead, they resemble digital slide projectors, squat little boxes that have a lens on the front. The television picture is digitally assembled inside the DLP unit and projected to wherever you want, usually a wall or a screen. The great advantage of this sort of DLP TV is that you have a picture scaled to whatever size you like. The disadvantage, of course, is the quality is limited not only by the DLP's specs but also by the quality of your projection surface.

Rear-projection take care of that problem, but at the cost of the great flexibility of the front-projection DLPs. These units look much more like the projection televisions of yesteryear, but with an enormously improved picture. While a DLP TV does not approach the contrast value of a plasma television, they are as good as most LCD TVs and are much tougher units.

A rear-projection DLP TV is surprisingly slender - not wall-mountable like a plasma or LCD model, but still only a few inches deep. Models that are wall-mountable or near it are starting to come on market right now, so you can expect that option in the near future. They are also significantly cheaper than plasma TVs, and in larger sizes are cheaper than comparable LCD TVs.

While the picture with a good rear-projection is not quite up to the standards of a plasma, it is comparable with an LCD TV, and it has another major advantage: the backlight is replaceable. With an LCD TV, the light will dim over time, and repairing it is so expensive that it's cheaper to purchase a new television. A DLP TV light source will go out eventually, but the bulb is completely replaceable, in some models designed to be replaced by the purchaser, and much less expensive than a new set. If your television set is destined to get heavy use, a DLP TV is much more economical over time than a similar LCD TV. And a plasma TV? Forget about it! Once its light dims, it cannot be repaired and must be replaced.

The major manufacturers of DLP TV right now are Samsung, Toshiba, Mitsubishi, Panasonic, LG, and RCA. Most experts prefer Panasonics, but any DLP that uses mirror technology that comes from Texas Instruments is going to do well. The main thing to look for, besides picture quality, is a DLP TV that allows you to change the bulb yourself. Newer sets also use LED lighting instead of halogen lights. This is a distinct advantage for two reasons. First, LEDs last significantly longer than halogens (though halogens still have a long lifespan). Second, halogens generate a lot of heat, and the fan used to dissipate it in the set has a whining noise that irritates some viewers. LEDs emit very little heat and do not have the same problem.

Can anyone give me a list of good flat panel tv's, that are wall mountable? i cant seem to find any?

i was looking for a tv for my room, i dont want it to be incredibly large but anything under 30 inches would be fantastic. i cant seem to find any flat panel tv's that are able to be mounted on the wall.

Quite frankly, I have never seen a flat-panel TV that was NOT wall-mountable. You need a special mount that fastens to the TV in the 4 holes provided by the manufacturer, and fastens to the wall as well. If you spend more, you get features like tilt and swing.
