Disadvantages:DLP screens can be viewed from a fairly wide angle from the center of the television with no problem, but they absolutely must be viewed at eye level for the best picture as the brightness of the picture falls off rapidly when viewed either above or below eye level. This can restrict where you place them for best viewing position in your room and should be a point taken into consideration before purchase.
Advantages: DLPs are inherently brighter than other display technologies because it is a reflective device. Its higher-than-average light efficiency means that a DLP TV will perform exceedingly well under most ambient light conditions. Brightly lit rooms won't wash out the pictures on DLP televisions. DLPs can achieve deeper, more realistic shadows and blacks than other fixed-pixel display technologies because DLPs create blacks by reflecting light away from the screen. And you don't have to worry about eyestrain, since DLP TVs don't flicker the way old-fashioned TVs do.
How it works: DLP technology is based on an optical semiconductor, called a Digital Micromirror Device (DMD), which uses mirrors made of aluminum to reflect light to make the picture. The DMD is often referred to as the DLP chip. The chip can be held in the palm of your hand, yet it can contain more than 2 million mirrors each, measuring less than one-fifth the width of a human hair.
