But OLED can get burn in and degrade over time. This will too, but you can just replace the light bulb.
That was once a lot more true than nowadays since the software has ways to mitigate the degradation. Once you’ve gone to a display with true black like OLED, nothing no else compares honestly. They even make movie theater screens look bad. It’s not possible to have a projector give you true black. Better contrast sure, but not true black. There is a limit to contrast anyway since human eyes can only see so bright.
I've had my OLED since 2017. I use it for gaming. It's perfectly fine still.
Projector bulbs ain't cheap either. And the overall picture quality will still be crap despite the contrast.
Or plasma?
Do they even still make those? Probably stopped that before they stopped doing CRT...
I don't think they do but mine still works perfectly and is pretty awesome. Also, it uses less power than a lot of modern TVs
It has modern connections but is only smart in a minor way so no laggy menus etc.
Damn dotcom bubble. Can't have anything nice around.

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.
