I believe the colour wheels now spin twice as fast which may reduce the effect somewhat. But for me it's not a very nice effect which is why I use a 3 chip projector. Unfortunately 3 chip DLP is prohibitively expensive (cinemas use them), but JVC DLA projectors are good. Although it looks like the newer 4K models are also prohibitively expensive :/


I can not stand the DLP projectors, so I got an Epson 3LCD, and have no issues with it, not crazy expensive either.


LCDs have typically been considered inferior for home cinema usage. The only advantage of them is the price and that they have no colour wheel. DLA is a sort of middle ground that is technically an LCD but works more like DLP. None of this matters if your room isn't set up right or you're projecting in a not completely dark room, though.
