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 ;)

    The LCD isn't deteriorating after 4000 hours, your eyes are.

    This may come as somewhat of a surprise, but not everybody has a cushy job that lets them get away with working 5 hours a day.

    and the "bright light" is really the paramedic's flashlight as he checks your ocular dilation.
