ARGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!! ...well sort of !
Went to see a demonstration of the Optoma H30 yesterday. I had never seen DLP before and was wondering what to expect.
Well the picture IS amazing....no doubt about it. the PJ was wall mounted 14 feet from the wall, (7 feet up) and gave a roughly 7 foot wide picture.
First DVD they put on was Shakespeare in Love (i know I know...) but there was no rainbow effect, (except the one about to come from my stomach if they didn't turn the nauseating rubbish off!!)so it was quickly replaced at my request by Apollo 13.
Hmmmmm.....no signs whatsoever of this fabled Rainbow I thought.
However.... joy turned to horror when the next DVD was put in.
I heard that rainbow effect was caused when fast moving images flash by and your eyes try to keep up by darting across the screen...so I asked for the Matrix to be loaded in.
Now keep this in mind...I was DELIBERATELY looking for rainbow, so I was flitting my eyes across the screen quite a lot....and there it was....rainbow!!! But no problem I decided, just stop darting your eyes and TRYing to find it...BUT... there was one scene where it was SO noticable and I was just watching normally
( I don't know a great deal about the Matrix , but for the fans amongst you, it's the scene where CYpher has just killed Dozer and Tank and is on the 'phone to Trinity who is in the Matrix. she is standing in front of some WHITE vertical tubular flourescent lights and boy were they colourful....al thre colours of the....well you know the rest.
Now question: the picture is so good, am I willing to put up with the odd flash of colour here or go buy the PT AE300 and just be done with it.
