it will still have rainbows... @ Jan 7th 2006 3:06AM

Rainbows come from having progressive color. That is, by having a single display element that does all 3 colors in succession instead of 3 elements that do them simultaneously. (1-chip vs. 3-chip)

So, this may have different looking rainbows, but it'll still have rainbows. Also, since DLP still cannot do any other luminance value other than full on and full off, it will still have that "live" picture from the rapid flicking on and off of bits to simulate greys. It'll still have trouble rendering near-blacks since the flicker becomes apparent with the low frequency signals used to simulate them.

Will it look good? Well, I dunno. It stands a good chance of it. But my money at this time is still on LCoS.

The price is rather meh, I could at this very moment buy a true 1920x1080 Sony S-XRD (LCoS) 60" for $4299 at Fry's (until 1/10).
