Advantages and Disadvantages of LCD
Advantages
LCD gives a sharp image which is preferable in high detail data applications.
LCD has more colour saturation which increases the perceived overall brightness.
LCD projectors are more “light efficient” than DLP projectors meaning given the same wattage lamp, the LCD projector will produce a brighter image.
Disadvantages
Older models suffer from the “chicken wire” effect, although newer model have improved and it is less visible on higher resolutions such as XGA and higher.
LCD projectors don’t achieve as high a contrast ratio as DLP projectors and black and dark colours tend not to be as dark.
LCD panels being organic, they degrade over time. The less the machine is used each day, the less of a problem this is. Projectors that are used for over eight hours a day however will have a shorter life span.
