How DLP Works

In general, DLP combines microscopic mirrors, a specially designed semiconductor, and a color wheel to adjust light to display the most brilliant, accurate images! Your DLP HDTV doesn’t use red, green, and blue phosphors like Plasma or Cathode Ray Tubes (CRTs), which means you don’t have to worry about screen burn (fixed video images burning onto the screen permanently) or convergence (realigning the CRTs). The diagram on the left illustrates the complex system.

Thin and Light

The efficiency of DLP technology enabled our design team to create a high-performance HDTV that is about 7 inches thin and weighs approximately 125-140 pounds (depending on model).

Lamp Replacement

DLP technology uses a special lamp. Eventually, you’ll need to replace this lamp, which you can do yourself by following the replacement instructions on page 76. To order the correct lamp, you’ll need to know your TV’s model number, serial number, and lamp part number. The TV’s model number is located under the front panel piece towards the bottom left corner. Go to page 10 for information on removing the front panel piece. The serial and lamp part numbers are listed on the Service Model Number sticker (example shown on the left). The sticker is located on the lamp handle (see page 78). For future reference, write down the information in the space provided at the left.
