JVC D ILA HD (LCOS) Projectors

I know theres's a lot of alphabet soup in the title, but if you're interested in home theater projectors, you should keep reading.

Everyone who has researched projectors knows that there are two main types, DLP and LCD. Everyone has their opinion as to which is better. The truth is, they both have their advantages and disadvantages. For some time now there has been yet another technology that few were aware of. This technology is known as LCOS(Liquid Crystal on Silicon).

LCOS has many types. It seems that each manufacturer has their own version. One of the most popular is from JVC. It is known as D-ILA. JVC D ILA is a must for any videophile. LCOS technology hasn't taken off mainly because of the price. The price is effected directly by the fact that LCOS projectors tend to be on the higher end of the resolution spectrum.

LCOS projectors are also a bit larger in physical size typically. Price and size are about the only disadvantages, however. Pixels are super smooth. The display is very liquid in comparison to both LCD and DLP. LCOS uses the best of both worlds to produce a much higher quality picture.

So if you are in the market for a high quality projector for you home theater, do youself a huge favor and make sure it is an LCOS projector. You won't be sorry.
