If SDE is a concern, I would expect LCOS or SXRD, like the Sony, would be better than LCD from Epson of Panny. The model is a few years old, but I've got a Sony now and sitting around 1x screen width away, SDE is not an issue for a 1080p display with a 1080p signal. That said, it's time to upgrade myself, and I think I'll being going back to DLP. I'm somewhat sensitive to rainbows, but LCD has it's own color persistence artifact. I can't see buying another LCD based projector, if the image is going to yellow at only 5,000 hours, considering, from what I've been told, they design these things where, to fix it, they have to replace the entire optical block, rather than just the bad panel itself, making it more affordable to buy a new unit than get it fixed. I suspect I'll miss the colors of LCD, but DLP produces better clarity and better ansi contrast, which are worthy tradeoffs. Think I'll go the cheap route though - sub $2000 - until the 4k market matures, so the trick will be finding a model with some measure of reliability and a color-wheel that isn't too distractingly loud. Might take some looking to find one that isn't a light cannon too. Unless it has a much darker low-lamp mode, 2000 lumens is a bit much for my high gain screen.
