When I was looking for my first projector around 5 years ago, I viewed a DLP full HD projector and noticed the rainbow effect in a few scenes of the demo film. Due to this, I only really had the option to buy an Epson 3LCD projector, which was the EH-TW6100.
This has been a brilliant projector to be honest, and I am only just coming up to 2550 hrs on the lamp, so no doubt this will need changing soon.
However, I am now looking to go 4K UHD, so I will be in the market for a replacement. I noticed that the Epson 4k projectors are not true 4k, but enhanced 4k whereas all of the 4k DLP projectors are. I understand that there is a quality difference between the enhanced and true 4k, but is it massive, or only noticeable to purists?
My main question though is, due to newer technology, has the rainbow effect in DLP projectors lessened in the 5 years since I last watched one, or is it about the same? If so, I would more than likely stick with an Epson model, which is a shame because there is more choice of DLP projectors than 3LCD projectors.
I am planning to do a few projector demo's anyway, but just thought I would check in advance.
