That red tint is the actual signal flashing that synchronises the glasses to the projector and allow for pretty much flawless 3D on dlp projectors. But it isn't always red. On my Benq, the signal flashing is green.

Red IMHO is the best for the DLPLink flash signal at least as implemented in AWOL/Valerion, looks like it can run at low brightness levels to avoid interfering with the 3D content itself (pretty sure the sensors in the glasses also pick up Red much more easily). I saw another projector using bright Green which was the worst colour possible as it bled through the 3D DLPLink glasses and it's also the colour humans are most sensitive to seeing so the 3D was barely watchable. How bright is the Green signal on the Benq - the same as the Valerion or brighter?

I would say the green flashing is visibly bright, but you only see it when you remove the glasses, otherwise the image is pretty much flawless. It might have something with DMD size. My Projector has a .65" dlp chip, and the other ones you mention all use a .47" chip.

The most unusual effect I am noticing (in 2D) is brief green and red flare-type flashes sometimes when I am blinking but every display has its own peculiarities and it's not enough to bother me.

In 3D now I have hooked up my old LG player again as I don't want to use my Sony player for anything other than Region A and 4K playback.

That might be the dreaded rainbow effect, that some people experience.

I was going to use the word rainbow but I don't see all the colours. It doesn't really bother me, I find myself watching more and more on the projector and less and less on my TV.
