Optoma H79 HD Home Theater Projector
Near-Perfect DLP Projector
This is my fourth projector and my second unit using a DLP chip.  I can easily see rainbows in single chip DLP projectors but this one almost completely eliminates them.  I can still see a few rainbows, especially when there are bright objects in a mostly dark scene, but it's hardly noticeable to me and none of my friends have been able to see them yet.  If you are one of the few people who are bothered by the rainbow effect, you may still want to demo this projector before purchasing it online.<br /><br />I was originally using a gray screen in a light-controlled media room but the blacks with the Darkchip3 are so good I moved to a Stewart Filmscreen Studiotek130 screenwall and the picture is spectacular.  I recommend using a white screen with this unit.<br /><br />There are no gaps between pixels or mirror dimples so the image is silky smooth.  After calibrating with DVE, the colors are incredible.  Colors pop, blacks are black and whites are white.<br /><br />Optoma has a zero dead pixel policy and a nice warranty.  They also offer affordable (cheap, imo) extended warranties and upgraded service plans to meet your needs.<br /><br />If you are in the market for a top-of-the-line single chip DLP projector, I honestly don't think you can get much better than this.
