Text/Appliance Evaluator Andy
Although it is a cliché topic, there are still many people who have difficulty deciding between "projector" and "LCD TV". After all, in the current popularity of various Internet celebrity decorations and Internet celebrity appliances, the popularity of "projectors" has not decreased, even if it is full of shortcomings.
In order to allow more and more people to step on the pit less and pay less tuition in the purchase of home appliances, this issue of Andy will objectively talk about the projector and LCD TV "love and kill", maybe after reading it, you will find that LCD TV, is still the big brother in the industry...
First, behind the popularity of the projector
When many young people decorate their living rooms, they abandon LCD TVs and replace them with projectors. In fact, behind its popularity, it is inseparable from the following reasons:
1. The size is larger, basically between 75 inches and 180 inches, and there is a "giant screen" viewing experience;
2. The installation is simpler and there are few restricted factors (elevators and entrance doors can be freely entered);
3. It is considered to be "more eye-protecting" (in fact, it is a misconception, which will be discussed later);
4. Compared with LCD TVs of the same size, its price is lower.
Although there are many advantages of projectors, in fact, many people invest, the core is 2 points:
(1) think that it is more protective of the eyes (good for children's eyes); (2) The price of the same size giant screen is lower.
In particular, the factor of "eye protection" is even the core element that promotes the development of the entire projector industry (and it is also the focus of business promotion).
But is the projector really eye-protecting? As a home appliance evaluator, let's tell you the truth.
In theory, the projector is more eye-friendly, after all, it is not a light source itself. This is significantly different from LCD TVs.
But everyone overlooks the point that the visual effect of the projector during the day is very poor, in other words, many people have to reduce the light in the room in order to achieve a good viewing quality. In this way, for children, when the surrounding light is too dark or the picture quality is not clear, it is more likely to cause visual fatigue.
And "laser TV", because it is essentially a kind of projector (ultra-short throw projector), so its viewing experience is the same as that of traditional projectors in terms of picture quality and viewing environment. There are many people who do not understand this before investing, so they pay tuition.
It is undeniable that saying that "projectors / laser TVs are more eye-protecting" is really completely misleading!
Speaking of which, it is not difficult to find that relying on this alone dooms the projector to go far.
And the reason why people used the projector for 2 years, they switched back to LCD TVs, in the final analysis, are inseparable from the following 3 disadvantages:
Second, why do many people install projectors and finally switch back to LCD TVs?
1. The picture quality is too poor, the brightness is greatly affected by sunlight, and the light dies;
2. The noise is relatively high, which is far inferior to the silent level of LCD TVs at this point;
3. With the reduction of panel costs, the price of LCD TVs with large screen giant screens (98 inches and above) is getting lower and lower, which is a dimensionality reduction blow to the projector.
Speaking of which, many people may think that "laser TV" is more reliable than ordinary projectors.
In fact, as mentioned above, the essence of laser TV is actually a projector. This means that it is still incomparable to LCD TVs in terms of picture quality and contrast.
To sum it up:
Picture quality clarity (color vibrancy): LCD TV> laser TV> projector;
Degree of influence by daylight: LCD TV< laser TV< projector.
Like noise value, viewing experience, etc., in fact, there is no need to compare, without exception is not as good as the traditional LCD TV.
3. What changes will be made in the experience from projector to LCD TV?
"Give me another chance to choose home appliances, I must not choose a projector, the difference between the two is too obvious"!
"After changing the projector twice, I chose laser TV for the second time, and finally found that the 98-inch LCD experience is cooler"!
……
Everything is afraid of comparison, and so are home appliances. When you have really experienced a large-screen projector, and then switch back to the LCD TV, you will know how big the gap between the two is.
1. LCD TV is not afraid of strong sunlight during the day;
2. The color gamut value is higher, the color is very vivid, and the picture is more realistic;
3. There is almost no noise at all;
4. The game entertainment experience is cooler;
5. The hardware configuration far exceeds that of projectors and laser TVs.
Looking at the entire TV market, I believe many people have found that
This price is actually not too stressful for many families. Coupled with the many contrasts between projectors and laser TVs, more and more people are gradually understanding a truth:
LCD TVs are still the big brother of the industry, and there is no substitute for this.
And the projector, under the "company" of many shortcomings, fades out of the Chinese family, perhaps it is only a matter of time.
