Why Buy DLP

DLP® technology is the only display solution that enables projection systems to create a purely digital connection between a digital video or graphic source and the screen in front of you. While all other technologies are analog and compromise some image quality in translation, DLP® projection unleashes the full potential of the content you want to see-whether it's in a movie theatre, the office, or your own living room.

The standard for projection excellence.
With more than one million chips shipped since 1996, DLP® projection is both a tried and true and cutting edge technology. The advantages are clear. See why DLP® projection is brighter, sharper and more reliable than alternative technologies.

DLP images are brighter and sharper than images from other display technologies.
The Digital Advantage: Brighter in Any Light
DLP® projection outshines analog technologies because it brings more light from lamp to screen. The Digital Micromirror Device at the heart of DLP® technology works more efficiently than the cathode ray tubes (CRT) and D-ILA systems found in many televisions. While these analog technologies tend to lose a certain amount of light in transit, DLP® projection's greater efficiency creates exceptional brightness that increases with resolution, and does not degrade over time.

In home entertainment systems, DLP® technology produces a stunning show that plasma televisions and CRT televisions cannot match. And in the office, the superior brightness of DLP® projection gives presentations maximum impact-even in rooms where ambient light is difficult or impossible to control.

The Digital Advantage: Sharper at Any Size
Images and video displayed with DLP® projection's unique reflective technology appear seamless at any resolution. That's because the hundreds of thousands of mirrors making up the Digital Mirror Device in a DLP® projection system are spaced less than one micron apart, resulting in a 90% fill factor. Because the gaps between pixels are minimized, DLP® projection comes closer than any other technology to producing the exact mirror image of an incoming video or graphic signal.

The difference is easy to see. DLP Cinema® projects a crystal clear movie onto every inch of the screen, every time-eliminating the scratches, flutter and focus problems that come with film.

And the close spacing of the DMD mirrors means that presentations, videos and other projected images never have the pixilated or "screen door" effect apparent in LCD-projected images at higher resolutions.

DMD can turn on or off at up to 5,000 times per second. The Digital Advantage: The Best Projection, Every Time
DLP® projection systems are more reliable than the analog alternatives because, being digital, they are able to recreate their incoming video or graphic source material every time they project it. Unlike cathode ray tubes, which move out of alignment over time, or DILA systems, which are susceptible to distortion, or film, which inevitably ages, DLP® projection quality does not deteriorate with ongoing use. In other words, projection systems using DLP® technology enable you to see the creator's original vision at full impact again and again, no matter how many times a video or graphic has been projected.
