The flicker in your peripheral vision vs. in your central vision is a function of the anatomy of the human eye; rods have shorter persistence of vision than cones and there are more rods/less cones in your peripheral vision.
DLP (mirrors thing) is for projectors and projection TVs only, not flat panels. The only company making actual projection screen TVs anymore is Mitsubishi; the size/price ratio is pretty impressive with them.
Basically a very bright light source shines on a panel of mirrors; there is one mirror per pixel and each pixel turns on and off *extremely* rapidly to shade/color that pixel.
On that DLP thing. I just remember this little girl in a TV ad saying “It’s the mirrors” and it was for a flat screen. I saw the DLP flat screen at Best Buy and was impressed but the price was almost triple that of an LCD TV.
Mmmmm, ‘kay. just went and searched on DLP TV’s and you’re right. Projection TV. Couldn’t have been a flat screen if projection. Found too that DLP stands for Digital Light Processing by Texas Instruments. Are they still popular?
