Clickbait-ey title
A better one would be, “A Projector With Contrast You Haven’t Seen For Years.”
It’s not a projector. It’s an lcd tv screen backlit by a projector. The tv lcd is still what produces the image
So a projector, just like DLP. That’s the backlight technology in this case. Instead of an LCD screen being integrated into the projector itself, it’s on a larger screen in front of it. Same difference as far as lighting technology goes.
Not at all. A dlp projector doesn’t use an lcd panel to project an image, it’s completely different technology. You may be thinking of lcd projection, but either way you’re wrong.
And you’re being pedantic and missing the point.
I actually think that’s exactly what you’re doing. I’m not saying what this guy did with an old projector and lcd screen is practical, but it is interesting and pretty creative. One things for sure though, he didn’t just create a projector using an old projector
You’re saying that all backlit LCDs are projectors?
