Projector Torture Test: LCD versus DLP

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the putting-it-to-the-test dept.

An anonymous reader writes "A ten month torture test of five LCD and two DLP projectors shows LCD images deteriorate during extended use." Not surprisingly, if you run an LCD projector for 4000 hours, it deteriorates... of course, if you're staring at a projecter 8 hours a day, for 500 straight days, maybe you should go outside ;)

    Ten months...500 days...something's wrong here.

    Sure, but if you practice "stopping and thinking" for a moment, I'm sure you'll figure out what. You'd be surprised, this "stopping and thinking" behavior comes in handy in all sorts of situations.

    Hint: the length of the study does not have to be as long as the length of time during which a monitor might undergo "normal use". If you're still having trouble, try asking your Mother. Or perhaps the dog.
