lwang makes a few points, here are some more

1. Each genre has worked on its weaknesses so now the rainbow effect is much diminished in DLP and contrast and brightness is much better for LCD's.
2. Certain things have not changed. The only projectors that do a true black are CRT's. One of the reasons is that the screen door effect makes blacks grey and gererally diffuses contrast. ALL DIGITAL PROJECTORS have screen door effect. The gaps are largest in LCD, in the middle for DLP and smallest in D-ILA. Even so, choosing a LCD with better resolution makes the pixels smaller and the spaces between them correspondingly smaller.
3. Another critical issue is colour fidelity, in general reds are orange red (and blatantly so) in all but the newest and best DLP projectors. Some people claim it doesn't bother them. I do not belong to that group.

The ProjectorCentral site is indeed a wealth of information and reviews. As others suggested, a visit there is well worth your while!

Whichever format you choose, the best of luck. I love my setup, I wish the same for you!

Cheers!
