The biggest thing going against DLPs are the rainbow effect. DLPs
send out colors sequentially and when you're moving (which inevitably
you are in a club), you will see RGB color rainbows instead of the
image. To test, project a DLP on a wall and shake your head. It's
especially heightened for grayscale images. There are DLP models that
use 7 colors instead of 3 and I beleive they help mediate this effect.
There are also more expensive 3 chip DLPs that don't suffer from this
problem at all.
