Too bad your buddy has such problems w/ rainbows. When I first got mine, I saw them a lot more....to the point that I considered upgrading. However, over time, I began to notice them much less. Thank God.
Good point on the SDE. When I picked up my PJ, LCDs were supposed to suffer heavily from it, while DLPs were supposed to be much less prone to them. Even my X1 has it to some degree, if I get close enough.
Truthfully, I think that the two technologies have begun to converge in terms of picture quality, etc. I suspect that soon enough the DLP versus LCD arguments will begin to be a thing of the past.
