I don't disagree, but for me this is a reason to avoid, rather than approach, DLP tech.
I will come clean here: I couldn't cope with the rainbows. Every time one appeared it felt like my eyes were being jerked across the screen to a new focal point that simply wasn't there. It made me feel sick.
And I should note that past experience is no guide to how likely you are to get sick because of rainbows. I am not a sickly person. I have a damn near iron stomach. I don't get travel sick, I don't get motion sick, I can eat almost anything... I did get seasick once, so I'm not impervious or anything; but the waves
were twenty foot high. Boy, I was a totally different kind of full colour projector that night, I've got to tell you.
Anyway: the point I would like to make is that, although I could not cope with the DLP projector I bought, and had to get rid of it, I would probably have tried another at some point were it not for the opinions-presented-as-fact and other bull poop surrounding the issue.
I took advice from what I think of as all the right places and it simply wasn't truthful, or accurate. And so now the only evidence I would trust would be that of my own eyes, in a demo. But even then, I don't know how things would be at home, or over prolongued periods, or at different settings.
So I'm done with DLP, and the reason is not my strong reaction - although I did have one - it's that I couldn't get good information about this, and I'm not sure I can even now. Once bitten, on that front.
Heck, just take a look at the wikipedia page on DLP projectors, and watch it glossing over stil current issues. It reads like it could have been written by Texas Instruments.
