A lens about Digital Processing Television

All about DLP HDTV Reviews and News on the latest digital light processing televisions.

DLP - Digital Light Processing was invented at Texas Instruments 20 years ago. The concept behind it is that each pixel of the television is represented by a tiny microscopic mirror.  In current HDTV this means millions of tiny micromirrors make up the projection.

In DLP technology there are two ways to project color onto the mirrors. The single chip design is done with a single spinning color wheel.  This is found in cheaper DLP tvs and projectors.

In newer DLP televisions you will find a three chip design which uses a prism instead of a spinning color wheel and each color goes to it's own chip which processes that specific color. This makes for a better picture without rainbow effects or flicker that is found in single chip DLP designs.

For more on the background of DLP see Wikipedia's DLP HDTV page.

Cables and Connectors for your HDTV 

When purchasing your HDTV you will need to purchase cables. They come seperately.

The best type of cable connector is called HDMI. It allows full quality HDTV even with High Definition DVDs such as Blu-Ray and HD-DVD.

If you can purchase an HDTV with 2 or 3 HDMI ports you will find it easier to connect up to your equipment. For example my DVR has one HDMI connector and my DVD player has a second. So I need 2 HDMI ports on my TV. And that doesn't account for connecting up a Playstation 3 or Xbox 360.

HDMI connectors look like the attached image.

Below I've listed some of my favorite cables. I really like the Monster cables. Feel free to vote for your own favorite cables.

Some of my favorite HDTV accessories

Here are some more of my favorite HDTV accessories.

I love my Logitech Harmony remote control that allows me to control all my devices from one easy to use remote. You simply plug it into your pc. Go to their web site. Type in what model number your tv, dvd, vcr, dvr, etc. are. Then tell them which ones you want turned on. You tell it which one you want to be the control for audio (My AV Receiver for example.) Then you hit the button for "Play DVR" "Play DVD" "Play Games". Super awesome.

Here is a list of some of the other HDTV accessories I suggest everyone invest in.
