| KBG29 said: It is an absolute shame that consumers killed rear projection TVs. SXRDs were so much better than LCD, and so much cheaper as well. People unfortunatly misunderstood the bulb going out with thinking their whole TV was broke. All they had to do was call the manufacturer and request a free replacement bulb which was standard from any respectable manufacturer. You could easily get 4 - 5 years from a TV on the 1st bulb, and then another 4 - 5 years on the 2nd before having to spend a minuscule $300 for the 2nd replacement bulb. SXRDs had absolutly zero screen door effect, no judder, no artifacting, extreamly good black levels, and as low as 4ms response times. Now we are stuck with LCD, LED, and OLED, all of which suffer from many issues, and have input lag around 20ms at best or 35ms average. Great example of consumers ruining the industry with uninformed purchases. |
Maybe this will catch on someday

Cheaper it's not for now. Also still kinda bulky. Yet maybe laser projection can solve all the woes of LCD/LED/OLED
