Projector vs. TV: The biggest drawback of projectors that makes them fail compared to TVs..
Projector vs. TV: Nowadays, everyone wants a large screen for their home. People want a big display for movies, cricket matches, or gaming. There are two options for this: a projector and a TV. Both have their advantages. People are often confused about whether to buy a projector or a TV. But projectors have a major drawback, which is why most people prefer TVs. That drawback is that the projector lens can become blurry, and even attempts to clean it are often unsuccessful.
The lens starts to blur.
The most important part of a projector is its lens. This lens projects the image onto the wall or screen. However, over time, dust, moisture, and dirt accumulate on this lens. It can be cleaned from the outside, but if dust gets inside, it becomes very difficult to clean. Sometimes, fungus grows inside the lens, creating white spots.
Spots often don't come off completely.
Even if you try to clean it, it doesn't get completely clean. As a result, the image appears slightly blurry or shows spots. White or black spots appear in the middle of the screen. No matter how expensive the projector is, this problem usually occurs within 2-3 years. On the other hand, a TV panel is sealed. Dust doesn't get inside. The picture remains clear for years. This is why the lens blur problem makes projectors less desirable than TVs.
Requires frequent covering
Operating a projector requires a lot of care. It's essential to let it cool down after each use. If you turn it on and off frequently, the lamp will wear out quickly. Also, to prevent dust from getting into the projector, it needs to be covered after use, which is not the case with a TV.
Drawbacks of projectors
The room needs to be completely dark. Even a little light makes the picture appear faded. A TV provides a good picture even during the day. The image projected onto the wall needs to be perfectly straight and at the correct angle. Even a slight tilt distorts the image size. With a TV, you get a straight picture no matter where you place it.
For sound, you need to install a separate sound system. Projector speakers are very weak. TVs have good built-in speakers.
Projectors generate a lot of heat and draw dust from the air, which causes the lens to get dirty quickly.
