Over the years, they've added colors, increased the speed of the wheels and even changed the "bulbs" to LEDs. These changes have decreased the percentage of people who get ill or experience headaches, but the problem has not been completely resolved. Only the more expensive 3-chip models eliminate the problems because all 3 primaries are shown at the same time (ie, no alternating colors, which caused the "rainbow effect", like the single-chip models).

I saw the rainbows when viewing DLP displays, so I never considered getting one. But even if I hadn't, I wasn't going to get a DLP display because I didn't want to take the chance that my wife or kids would be part of the estimated 10% of the population that experienced headaches, nausea or dizziness from single-chip DLP technology. That and the fact that plasma technology was better in just about every area.
