The only real difference between LCD and DLP is the way they display color. LCD projectors contain three separate glass panels, one each for the red, green, and blue components of the video signal, whereas the DLP chip is a reflective surface made up of thousands of tiny mirrors and color wheels that consist of red, green, blue, and sometimes white (clear) filters.

The 65’’ Sharp AQUOS Widescreen LC-65D90U (from $17,999)
ViewSonic 42’’ NextVision N4200W ($2,699)

Match that kind of easy set-up with near-perfect quality of image (1366x768 resolution) and you’ll be hugging this TV every time you use it — if you can even get your arms around it.
If you’re looking at top-of-the-line LCD televisions, this is it. It is amazing! Sharp’s LC-65D90U is the largest commercially available LCD-TV in the world, with features as grand as the TV itself.
