My Acer PH530, which replaced an epson home 20, died about 1 month ago. I decided to go with the HD66 for the brightness levels, but to my amazement, I apparrently suffer from Rainbow Effect. I never really knew what it really looked like til I got this projector and it irritated the heck out of me. I have about 1 week left to return it to JR.
I never knew that I suffered from RBE as I never saw it on my dads RPT and I never noticed it on my Acer. I think it is because my Acer used a 7 segment color wheel while this Optoma apparrently uses a 5 segment.
I also don't want to take a chance on guests getting distracted by it.
I really liked my Epson that I had years ago, but the Acer destroyed it in terms of black levels. I read some reviews, but am wondering if anyone has had any experience with the 705HD and how it compares to DLPs with blacks. I have a light controllable living room, but like to have the lights on with all but movies (which is when RBE is affecting me the most).
PS: My kids are convinced I am making this RBE thing up. kids....
I am on a budget and don't really want to go over the $700 mark (single dad)
