LCD Projo:

1. No rainbow effect

2. No issues with video games and control delays

3. Less moving parts so less can break

DLP:

1. Generally, a brighter picture

2. No screen door effect

I'm a little out of it right now to remember everything, but those are key points to consider.

Well DLP is cheaper and is considered to last longer, because of the fact, that if the bulb dies, is easy to replace it, just by a new one and replace it, but LCDs are supposed to be a sharper crispier image, and they last around 60-70k hours, i think. If you got the money for an LCD go for it, but if your prefer a big screen for cheaper, then go for the DLPs..

He's talking about LCD Projection, not Flat Panel LCD, as far as I can tell.

That TV is fine. It's cheaper and brighter then most LCD TV's you would of found.

I personally find DLP to be superior when compared to LCD, but if you read comparison articles around the web you'll find that there is no "better" answer as it's all a matter of opinion

Noone can directly tell you LCD>DLP or DLP>LCD

Your choice is fine, not point in worrying

Also every tv will look different..even if you compare 2 CRT's side by side the picture won't be exactly the same.

If your happy with the tv there is no point in thinking you could of done better, etc

That's actually a pretty nice set man. We have the xxHM95's at work and had th xxHM84's last year. The sets can actually out perform the Samsungs with certain images. I think you'll be happy.

The BB website says its HD2+, but I'm pretty sure that set is actually HD4.

edit: Before I forget, try not to use the buttons on the front panel too often. They tend to break easily. Just stick with the remote. Aklso, make sure to always power it down properly and don't just unplug it or turn off a powerstrip. The sets go through a cooling down process when turned off. If that process isn't allowed to trigger, you'll lose lifespan on the unit.

    • Valve finally confirms Steam Machine prices, starts at $1049 for 512GB option

      The memory and nvme can be swapped and upgraded with standard parts. But the GPU cannot, which is the weakest part of the box. It's a dead product at these prices.

      Sounds like the debloated build you are running is missing some components that the Photos app and Snipping Tool rely on.

    • Apple and Tesla trade secrets reportedly exposed following a Tata Electronics cyberattack

      Apple and Tesla trade secrets reportedly exposed following a Tata Electronics cyberattack by Hamid Ganji Image via Depositphotos.com Tata Electronics has confirmed that it detected a cybersecurity incident in some of its systems. The Indian company is a manufacturing partner of both Apple and Tesla, and the incident may have exposed some trade secrets belonging to the two American companies. The World Leaks ransomware group is said to be behind the attack, and it has reportedly posted up to 200,000 files on the dark web, including component designs and specification documents related to Apple and Tesla products. Tata Electronics told Reuters that its response protocols were deployed immediately and that the “incident has had no impact on our operations across businesses, which remain unaffected.” The ransomware group reportedly sent a ransom demand to Tata Electronics, while Apple has launched an investigation into the incident. World Leaks claims it stole more than 200,000 files totaling over 630GB from Tata Electronics. Some database files on the ransomware group’s website are titled "com.apple.factorydata," which could refer to Apple’s iPhone production operations in India. Moreover, some documents reportedly contain material specifications and quality inspection standards for iPhone circuit board components. However, Apple is not the only affected company. A folder found in the World Leaks database is titled "NV36 Chargeport Controller - North America," which may refer to Tesla Model Y components. Additionally, other files in the database reportedly contain drawings related to Tesla’s Project Highland, the internal codename for the EV maker’s updated Model 3 sedan. To support the authenticity of the stolen files, World Leaks has published documents containing footers that read: "This document contains proprietary and confidential information of Apple Inc." and "information contained herein is deemed confidential, proprietary, and a trade secret of Tesla Inc." Cybersecurity researcher Rajshekhar Rajaharia told Reuters that the database also contains emails, event logs spanning several years, and passport copies of employees, including foreign nationals. Both Tesla and Apple have declined to comment on the scale of the incident.
