Image caption
[edit]The caption mentions the text being from a specific paragraph in this article. I don't think it's necessary to specify which paragraph, or even that it's from this article at all, especially considering the fact that it could be confusing if the page is edited. I removed this from the caption; feel free to revert if you feel it's necessary. 'FLaRN'(talk) 23:35, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
The image is not showing a screen-door effect. It is merely showing pixels and subpixels. For this reason, the image should be replaced if possible. At least removed until someone can provide an appropriate image. 92.252.54.255 (talk) 23:26, 6 May 2013 (UTC)
How old is 'newer'?
[edit]The article contains an URL to DLP site:
which is flagged as {{dead link}} since March 2011 . The link was added in October 2006 in this edit as a source for
- 'Newer DLP chip designs promise closer spacing of the mirror elements which would reduce this effect'
but the WWW page linked no longer exists (or was moved to another location and I can't find it).
Anybody can verify whether those 'newer' chips are already on the market? Is the problem in DLP technology still noticeable after 6 years passed? Should we keep those information in the article in present form or rather re-edit it as a 'history' subsection? --CiaPan (talk) 20:48, 25 September 2012 (UTC)
- Is this related to Digital micromirror device? ---— Gadget850 (Ed) talk 22:25, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
- Yes, exactly. As the first sentence of Digital micromirror device says:
A digital micromirror device, or DMD, is an optical semiconductor that is the core of DLP projection technology.

Etymology
[edit]Can someone explain why this is called the "screen-door effect"? I think I know what a screen is (computer screen) and a door (gate) but not sure how to relate the two with each other when describing this effect. 78.21.171.227 (talk) 08:42, 25 June 2017 (UTC)
- "Screen" doesn't refer to a computer screen. It's named like that because the effect is similar to looking through a screen door. -- intgr [talk] 07:56, 26 June 2017 (UTC)
- Of course... Thanks a lot, that explains! I'm not a native English speaker so pardon my lack of understanding. 165.225.80.61 (talk) 14:28, 26 June 2017 (UTC)
Should we put Template:Extended reality here?
[edit]Since the screen-door effect is a commonly addressed issue in extended reality, should we put Template:Extended reality at the bottom of this page? 67.209.130.190 (talk) 09:02, 5 October 2024 (UTC)
Regarding the controversial edits that happened here
[edit]That was only a flashmob and they didn't even persist. The only change that was brought back is the alphabetic order of the see also section. Discuss them here if you want. 67.209.130.55 (talk) 11:34, 4 January 2025 (UTC)
