You're wrong about the mirrors not being fast enough for fast action. The
only problem is with rainbow effects for those who see them (and I do, but
I'm highly sensitive to monitor flicker too). I only see them when the
scene is dark with bright spots, and usually when moving my head sideways.

Hehehe.. When I worked on upright video games there were some that
had no horizontal deflection. Just a vertical line. If one stood
looking at it, and shook one's head side to side, one could see the
entire screen in that single vertical line. Pretty cool stuff, CRTs.

It's a color wheel issue, the newer double speed wheels apparently help
allot, but some still see the effects.

There is a rear projection display that uses LEDs, for the light
beams. Pretty interesting stuff, and I am not a fan of RP, but it
looks and sounds like good technology...

That isn't the link I was looking for, but that HD mag is at work
right now.

They're not that annoying to me (and
believe me I annoy easily) so I can live with them. Brightly lit scenes
(like NASCAR :-) are incredible, the Daytona 500 finish was worth the price
of the projector alone. Colors are very brilliant, some people say plasma
like, but I don't know if I'd go quite that far.

I think Plasma sucks.

I do know that in a dark
room even on low lamp mode, it's friggin bright, almost too bright. Way
better black levels than LCD, good flesh tones too. No affiliation, yada
yada, just majorly impressed.

I think OLED will usher in better FPDs. I ain't doing the projector
thing yet.
