Thoughts on DLP...

[ggiese]

Well now it seems that you are the one taking "offence" to my posts.

I'm nowhere close to being a qualified DLP/LCD projector expert. All I was saying was that I'm not stupid when it comes to DLP/LCD projector repairs.

Based upon my own admission I'm an expert? I'm pretty sure I said quite the opposite in my last post.

Do I know that your brother in law is not qualified? I sure don't, hence the reason why I asked what certs and manufactors training he had recieved. Once again with you failing to provide this information I can only assume that he holds none of them.

As well I asked for your projector model and make information so I could review the specs. I don't know of any projectors in the $2500 range that can rival the 10000:1 contrast ratio that plasma's provide.

Am I humble? I sure am, if I'm wrong about something I'll own up to and by no means am I an expert in the field.

At 27 years old am I smart? Thats not for me to judge. But I can tell you I've met some people quite older than me and realized that wisdom doesn't always come with age.

Either way this has gotten way off topic. The OP wanted to know about DLP monitors, not DLP projectors. And I provided my input on the topic and the misinformation that was being spread in the topic.
So for my last post on this topic I'll address the OP's questions more directly.

Oh, you certainly are a smaht one... Excuse me while I clear up the mess you've created with your ego...

First of all, harv - your view of the world is not the world. Just because you believe it does, does not make it so. 27 years on the face of this earth obviously leaves you a tad light on experiences to draw on. Given your sharing your experiences with re-stocking fees at Best Buy, I'd say it fairly obvious you would not be satisfied with anything you purchase - despite the incredible wealth of knowledge you believe you possess... You're exactly the reason Best Buy charges a 15% restocking fee - you don't like the way the thing looks in the living room, it's a tad to dark, it's a tad too light, it doesn't do HDTV to an exacting standard - whatever - and you drop off a "used" set at Best Buy expecting a full 100% refund? Puhlease... I actually love your type... You're exactly the reason why I buy some of my electronics with an immediate 15% discount...

And yes - undeniably - there have been problems with the DLP's despite your denials. My LCD projector does have a very clear picture in a well lit, sunny room. It does have crisp colors, very black blacks - in other words - it does work extremely well despite your "clearing things up for us".

As far as my bro-in-law being certified... What - you want me to provide scans of his credentials??? That's as assinine as your moving parts in car comments. Given your obvious ego driven diatribe in this thread I'd say no matter what I told you, or what evidence I presented, it would not be nearly enough to overcome any "non-expert" opinion you may have...

Specs? You want specs? For what - so that you can do your "non-expert" expert review so you can clear up any misunderstandings?? Yeah - okay...

Wisdom does comes with age, harv - and you're obviously not quite there... Bottom line - don't be such a dick.


BTW - "manufactors(sic)" is spelled manufacturers

It's "i before e, except after c" - so "reciepts(sic)" is actually receipts

and "winnar!(sic)" is winner
