It's been estimated that between 5 - 10% of the population sees the rainbows on DLP sets. What is usually not mentioned is that many people who say that they don't actually see them are affected by DLP sets in other ways. Symptoms vary, but can be as minor as headaches and eye fatigue to as major as dizziness and nausea/vomiting.

So before you decide on a DLP set, spend a good deal of time watching SD, DVD and HDTV material. The more time you spend watching, the better off you will be in making a decision. If you still don't see rainbows, you're half-way there. The other half? The rest of the family.

I'm not trying to steer you from DLP: I just don't want you to make a decision that has the potential to to negatively affect other members of your family -- or you! If neither you nor other family members experience any problems, you're home free.

Just don't try to mount it on a wall...
