Digital Rear Projection
Larger living spaces require bigger screens. If you don’t want to take the plunge with one of the larger flat panels, then a digital rear-projection display may be the ticket. By "digital" we’re referring to displays that use a digital technology to create the image. These include rear-projected LCD, DLP (digital light processing) or LCoS (liquid-crystal on silicon) technologies. The internal projection requires slightly more cabinet depth than a plasma or LCD display, but the image can be substantially brighter and picture quality can be excellent. Digital displays, however, don’t require the large, deep cabinets that CRT-based rear-projection sets need, and the digital image is not susceptible to burn-in. Burn-in occurs when a really bright object (e.g., the CNN logo or the white-lettered news ticker that scrolls on the bottom of the screen) becomes a permanent imprint in a plasma or CRT display’s picture.
