It’s something of a surprise, should you own a CRT TV to go with your retrocomputers, when you use it to view a film or a TV show. The resolution may be old-fashioned, but the colors jump out…

      But OLED can get burn in and degrade over time. This will too, but you can just replace the light bulb.

        I’ve had my OLED since 2017. I use it for gaming. It’s perfectly fine still.

        Projector bulbs ain’t cheap either. And the overall picture quality will still be crap despite the contrast.

        Do they even still make those? Probably stopped that before they stopped doing CRT…

        It’s not a projector. It’s an lcd tv screen backlit by a projector. The tv lcd is still what produces the image

          So a projector, just like DLP. That’s the backlight technology in this case. Instead of an LCD screen being integrated into the projector itself, it’s on a larger screen in front of it. Same difference as far as lighting technology goes.

            Not at all. A dlp projector doesn’t use an lcd panel to project an image, it’s completely different technology. You may be thinking of lcd projection, but either way you’re wrong.
