Rear-Projection TVs

Rear-Projection TVs are televisions that project the image from behind the screen.

The first rear projection televisions were sold commercially in the 1970s as a lower cost option for larger televisions, using CRT technology. They have evolved over the decades since, incorporating Liquid Crystal Displays, as well as Digital Light Processing (DLP) displays and Liquid Crystal on Silicon (LCoS) display technology to improve picture clarity.

There are several factors to consider when purchasing a rear projection television, the first of which is size. Rear projection televisions typically start at 36 inches and go up from there. It is important to pick a size that will fit with the area it will be placed. Most recent televisions are equipped to accept digital signals, which will be key after the DTV transition on February 17, 2009. Another factor to consider is if the model is high definition compatible. Many television networks are now broadcasting in HD, which provider a more clear and crisp image than analog broadcasts.
