From 21 inches in the 80s and 90s to the mainstream 55-inch LCD TV today, the biggest difference belongs to the size of the TV. It seems that, in terms of the viewing experience, the larger the screen, the more enjoyable the viewing, so in the case of a sufficient budget, we are seeking larger and larger screens, so with a 100-inch screen laser TV will be a good choice?
Understanding what is laser TV
When it comes to today’s mainstream viewing equipment, LCD TVs and projectors are familiar equipment, so what is a laser TV? As we all know, TV technology has experienced three technological iterations of black and white TV, color TV and digital TV represented by LCD TV, PDP, OLED, etc. Laser TV combines DLP digital film projection technology and TV technology using a laser light source to form the fourth generation of TV display technology.
Laser TV essentially also belongs to the projector, but the picture size of laser TV is larger than the general projection, the projection ratio is also smaller. Even if the device is placed against the wall, it can project a picture of 80-100 inches. At present, the maximum projection size of mainstream laser TV is generally around 100 inches.
Laser TVs offer these advantages
1, 100-inch large screen, watching movies is cool
Compared to LCD TVs, laser TV size advantage is very obvious. Although the price of large size LCD TV has been reduced several times this year, such as the emergence of entry-level 75-inch LCD TV within 5,000 yuan, 20,000 yuan of 85-inch TV. But if the rise to 100 inches, the price will be much higher. From the display area, 100 inches in size is about 221 cm X 125 cm, 78% larger than a 75-inch TV, and 38% larger than an 85-inch TV. The current mainstream laser TV with 100-inch light-resistant screen, the price ranges from 20,000 to 50,000, more advantageous.
Not only that, laser TV is essentially a combination of ultra-short-throw projector and light-resistant screen. If users want a bigger picture, they only need to replace the screen, and the cost is not too high. For example, BenQ recently launched a new laser TV i960L, equipped with a 100-inch black grid anti-light screen, also provides 120-inch or even larger screen upgrade services.
2, excellent picture quality, happier night viewing
Next, the picture quality, users who are used to watching LCD TVs during the day may not appreciate the picture quality of laser TVs. As we mentioned earlier, laser TV is actually a short-focus projector that reflects light imaging and is susceptible to environmental interference. Despite the efforts of major manufacturers to overcome, still can not do as LCD TV direct light as bright and eye-catching. Although the picture looks very clear during the day, but still not bright enough compared to LCD.
But for the daytime work, only home at night to watch TV users, laser TV daytime viewing disadvantage is negligible. So for this type of user group, laser TV is a good choice.
3、Longer life, more convenient
As we all know, generally speaking, the projector will have the problem of insufficient brightness after a period of use. This is when the user needs to purchase another replacement projection lamp. The laser TV uses a laser light source, not only the brightness is higher than the general projection, and the brightness decay rate is very slow, tens of thousands of hours of use, enough to meet the needs of the family.
And in terms of convenience, laser TV can be said to cast where you want to cast. Compared to LCD TVs, laser TVs are smaller in size, which greatly facilitates users to move their position. We all know that in some real home environment, oversized LCD TVs are often not conducive to installation. And in the process of transportation is also not conducive to handling, some residential elevators can not even put in the large size of the LCD TV. Compared to these laser TVs are more compact, while laser TVs generally come with an auto-focus function, so there is absolutely no need to worry about the need to refocus after moving.
4, radiation is small, more advantageous to health
As we said before, laser TV because it is reflective light imaging, the picture effect is greatly affected by ambient light. But also because of this, laser TV is softer than LCD, can better care for the eyes. Laser TV image acquisition from the laser TV screen reflects the light from the laser TV host, and the human eye to watch the principle of the world, compared to the LCD TV, the human eye damage is small, even if a long time watching will not feel tired.
At the same time, many laser TVs are equipped with automatic rest screen function, when the user is close to the laser TV, it will automatically rest screen, and automatically restore the screen after leaving, to protect eye health.
There are also these shortcomings
1、Price is still high
Although the price of laser TV has fallen to within 10,000 yuan at this stage, but compared to the increasingly cheap LCD TVs, it is clear that the latter is more approachable. Laser TV for the average family, still belongs to the “luxury”. Of course the price is expensive, not the fault of the laser TV.
2, more serious impact by ambient light
Although the brightness of the laser TV is much higher than ordinary projection, but compared with the same size LCD TV there is still a certain distance. To put it more bluntly, when the ambient light is brighter, the laser TV’s picture color will be greatly discounted.
Write in the end
Watching movies with laser TV in the end does not smell good? The answer is yes. Whether from the volume of the body or the effect of the picture, laser TV has a great advantage. Although in the daytime viewing will be affected by the ambient light, but with the anti-light screen can get the best viewing effect. If you have a certain demand for home viewing and have a certain budget, then laser TV is a good choice.
