Until relatively recently, "huge screen TV" meant pretty much one thing: a rear-projection cathode ray tube (CRT) set. But if you go to the electronics store today, you'll see several big screen options - plasma, liquid crystal display (LCD), liquid crystal on silicon (LCoS), front projectors, and digital light processing (DLP) television.

In this article, we'll see what's inside a DLP set that makes it different from other TV technologies.
