) But then I was reading on projector central that an lcd's contrast ratio even if it's spec'd as higher than a similiar dlp unit, the blacks will still be better on the dlp. Hello Tristan. As you probably already know LCDs tend to be brighter and DLPs tend to have better contrast. There are exceptions to this as there are with most things, but this is true generally speaking. From what I can tell there has been a slight inflation of contrast ratios. I wouldn’t say anyone is necessarily being deceitful, but they may be using a different system to determine that spec. At any rate, the new generation of LCD projectors have actually improved their contrast, and it’s noticeable. Have you had the opportunity to see any of these new models in person?
I've seen the new Panny, Sanyo, Epson, BenQ, and Optoma in person. Since we had a couple DLP projectors set up with them, it made for a great 'shoot out' of sorts. The LCD projectors held up very well when comparing contrast, they did very well with ambient light, and there was virtually no 'screen door' effect.
