A better one would be “A Projector With Contrast You Haven’t Seen In 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

Unless you have an OLED TV.

But OLED can get burn in and degrade over time. This will too, but you can just replace the light bulb.

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.

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.

Or plasma?

Do they even still make those? Probably stopped that before they stopped doing CRT…
