Editing Digital light processing (section)

=== Pros ===
* Smooth (at 1080p resolution), jitter-free images.
* Perfect geometry and excellent grayscale linearity achievable.
* Usually excellent [[Contrast ratio#Methods of measurement|ANSI contrast]].
* The use of a replaceable light source means a potentially longer life than CRTs and plasma displays (this may also be a con as listed below).
* The light source is more-easily replaceable than the [[backlight]]s used with LCDs, and on DLPs is often user-replaceable.
* The light from the projected image is not inherently [[Polarization (waves)|polarized]].
* New LED and laser DLP display systems more or less eliminate the need for lamp replacement.
* DLP offers affordable 3D projection display from a single unit and can be used with both active and passive 3D solutions.
* Lighter weight than contemporary LCD and plasma televisions.{{CN|date=April 2025}}
* Unlike their LCD and plasma counterparts, DLP screens do not rely on fluids as their projection medium and are therefore not limited in size by their inherent mirror mechanisms, making them ideal for increasingly larger high-definition theater and venue screens.
* DLP projectors can process up to seven separate colors, giving them a wider color gamut.
