Utilization Issues for Large, Consumer Video Displays

The acceptance by US consumers of large screen, rear projection video receivers has grown until this segment of the TV market accounts for approximately a million units per year and the largest share of profit from sales. The near term availability of high definition digital television (DTV) signals in the US, Japan, Europe, and elsewhere will continue to drive growth in this sector. New market opportunities will emerge for rear projection, front projection, and flat panel large screen displays. — This presentation will briefly review the diverse technologies available to serve these three types of display. Comparisons will be drawn between the quoted/expected display specifications (which tend to be driven by engineering and marketing criteria) and the actual performance required and/or likely to be achieved in the consumer's dwelling (which tends to be determined by architecture, furniture, children, pets, school, work, dinner, and the limits of personal wealth).
