In a recent article, ExtremeTech and Dr Raymond Soneira hold forth that LCoS is the best HDTV imaging technology available today, and that the JVC Professional model DLA-HRM1 is the best LCoS TV out there. And so by extension, the JVC Pro must also be the world’s best HDTV set.
Ray evaluated the 7 main display technologies on 15 points of comparison, and ranked LCoS first, with CRT a close second. Third was DLP, with the 3-chip version edging out the DLP 1-chip. Lumped togther in last spot were PDP (Plasma) and the direct and projection versions of LCD.
The author then had a look at the 6 LCoS HDTV models of which he was able get early or demo samples, and decided that the DLA-HRM1 from JVC is the best. The 1920×1080 48in monitor was described as ‘outstanding’ and as having very accurate colors and gray-scale. The $43K device is intended to be used as a reference monitor, so it’s unlikely ever to reach your local retailer.
The article concludes by remarking on 2 promising future display technologies: SED, which has good black levels & fast pixel response, and the use of LED backlighting for color stability.
