DLP (Digital Light Processing) is a great technology, and as Om Malik reports, it’s making serious inroads into living and board rooms, with sales of DLP televisions outselling plasma in North America. RCA just dropped a release today saying that their extremely slick Scenium DLP HDTVs are now available in Best Buys in So-Cal this week and I’m sure they’re going to be a big hit—61-inch televisions that are light and thin enough to be wall-mounted are trés chic (RCA, love you, love your TV, dahlink! Call me!)
And Om gets it right again when he talks about the up-and-coming success of budget DLP projectors like the new Toshiba TDP-S80U and SW80U that Engadget pointed out this morning contributing to the success of the technology. I’ve owned two low-end DLP projectors in the past and there just isn’t a better large-format display technology for the money. When Sony (or someone else) finally works out the kinks and sells an ultra-high-gain screen that will allow front projection to remain bright when there is a lot of ambient light, I think the market for DLP projectors is going to explode.
