HDTV gaming

You are incorrect sir. DLP has NO LCD. You are thinking of the Sony
rear-projections.

I bought a Viewsonic HDTV LCD and I hated it, it got edge burn in where I
had been watching SD TV at 4:3 ratio so took it back for a refund. May get
a DLP now and see how that goes. I used to have a Samsung LCD for my
computer too but traded that to someone for a 21" IBM P275 CRT and much
prefer that for gaming on.

OK, I was confused by the this review of the Sony as it says it uses LCD
and the site lists it under DLP TV's. I remember reading once about some
issue using the mirrors cause but can't remember exactly what it was.
Something to do with the color reproduction or something like that - color
wheel maybe?

Probably referring to Rainbow Effect. Some people see rainbows in the image
with DLP.

Yea, that's it. How much of an issue is this? I have fairly critical eyes.

Some people are effected by it, others are not. Has nothing to do with
having a critical eye, its just some thing that only certain people see.

OK, thanks, I'll have to go view some and see if I notice it. This website
says the issue is more of a problem with older DLP sets.

What is the Rainbow Effect? The DLP 'rainbow effect' is an artifact unique
to single-chip DLP projectors. The artifact appears as a rainbow or
multi-color shimmer briefly noticeable when changing focus from one part of
the projector screen to another. It appears as a secondary image that
appears at the viewer's peripheral vision and is generally noticeable when
shifting focus from a high contrast area or bright object. For a quick
video sample of the effect, click here (warning: 5MB video).

3-chip DLP projectors, higher wheel speeds, 7-segment color wheels, and
archimedes color wheel designs (pending) are minimizing or may altogether
elminate the effect.

No problems with color wheel here, and none that I have generally read
about.

It has nothing to do with eyes. It has to do with brain wiring from what I
understand.

All you have to do is look at a DLP. You either have it, or you don't. You
don't 'catch' it. You are born with it.

The site brings up another important point, and that's the DLP Chipset used
in the TV.

And you can't go just by the number, thinking higher is better. This is not
necessarily the case.

When I bought my HLP-5085, the mainstay for a long time was the HD2. Then
TV's came out with the HD3 chipset, which was not in fact technologically
more advanced, but packaged cheaper so manufacturers could sell TV's
cheaper.

The HD3 was, in fact, inferior to the HD2 in most cases.

The high-end at the time, which is what my TV has, was the HD2+. I think it
is still the high-end except for the new 1080P sets. I'm not sure what the
chipset number is for them.

The HD2+ also uses the 7 segment color wheel, improving contrast.
