Understanding The Latest Technology Called Digital Light Processing

By Jared Silver


It is not common to see a living room without a television. This technology has been developed dramatically throughout the years until now to satisfy viewers in both clear picture and style. The industry has never been this exciting as several advancements have been made and a lot more features were added which made it a must have for every home.

You have a lot of choices if you plan to purchase a new television. They differ not only in brand, style but also the display technology that each of them carries. There are some companies who manufacture televisions which utilize Digital Light Processing Technology. If you are uncertain as to what this technology is, this article will answer all your questions.

A proof about the efficiency of DLP technology is the fact that known electronics manufacturers which include Sony and Panasonic applied it on their products. Clarity is a factor that made this technology known and the possibilities are endless as its development continues.

The main component of a DLP television is a DLP lamp which is a vapor arc lamp made of mercury. Although the technology has been extremely developed through the years, it still has a limited lifetime which only range from 1000-2000 hours which also depends on the lamp's rating.

This would lead us to a conclusion that a lamp replacement is needed every two years on average. The manner of use will also affect the product's life. Sad to say, this maintenance is not a part of the benefits that most manufacturers entitle the owners after the purchase so it is a must for you to know as to where and when you should be searching for a DLP lamp.

One major sign of a DLP lamp close to its limit is a situation where the color starts to fade. There are other manifestations that you can look out which all affects the overall quality of the television's output.

Replacement can be delayed. Although color degradation is evident, the process is slow which will give you some time to search for lamp replacements before all of it would turn black. There is no point in rushing things because you might only end up spending more or having a lamp with less quality.

There are several affordable DLP lamps out there priced below 100 dollars. Some reputable brands sell their lamps at most 200 dollars. It is important for you to consider quality and pick one with a rating of 2000 hours. By doing so, you will avoid frequent replacement.
