rainbow

Sony VPL-VW40 review

Reviews Even better, the outstanding sharpness isn't affected by any sort of video noise at all -- be it grain, dot crawl, scaling artefacts, motion blur or 'technology' issues such as DLP's rainbow effect or LCD's wire mess effect.

Samsung SP-A800B review

Reviews Our last issue with the A800B concerns DLP's rainbow effect. With the projection market getting ever more cut-throat, it's perhaps rather surprising that Samsung should decide now to hit the UK with the £2,600 SP-A800B.

Fujifilm FinePix Z20fd review

Reviews It comes in a rainbow of colours: light green, blue, pink, red, and black, all finished with silver accents. It's available now for around £100, with the price and the styling clearly aimed at the less demanding end of the market.

Nikon Coolpix P50 review

Reviews Although pictures taken at ISO 800 have a gritty feel, it isn't the rainbow-coloured pebbledashing we'd expect at this sensitivity level. We tested it to see if a stripped-down 8.1-megapixel version of such a top-end camera is worth having...

Sennheiser PXC 350 headphones review

Reviews The difference is akin to the difference between looking at a rainbow in colour and then in black and white -- although the sound still clearly exists, the overall feeling is a little dull and slightly washed out.

Fujifilm FinePix Z10fd review

Reviews The Fujifilm FinePix Z10fd stands and falls by its styling, and in a world of grey snappers its rainbow colouring and nu-rave marketing makes it stand out. Priced around £100, it's being promoted through social networking sites like MySpace and...

Sim2 HT3000E review

Reviews There's also no trace of the dotting noise over horizontal motion that plagues lesser DLP models, DLP's rainbow effect is remarkably well suppressed given how bright images get, motion looks crisp and sharp and perhaps best of all, the projector's...

Planar PD7060 review

Reviews Otherwise, the only area where we might fault the PD7060's pictures is on its rainbow effect, as it's possible to see flashes of pure red, green and blue colour strips in your peripheral vision. While most brands are tending to pull out of the...

projectiondesign Action! M20 review

Reviews But the M20 has plenty of other strings to its bow too, including really rich, deep black level response; lots of detail and sharpness when showing HD; and the suppression of almost all kinds of noise, including the rainbow effect and motion...

rainbow effect

Reviews A visual artefact that occurs in single-chip DLP displays, caused by the fact that the single DLP chip uses a colour wheel to create red, green and blue, and hence all colours. Occurs primarily when the eye looks across the screen or when adjacent...

BenQ PE7700 review

Reviews The high-speed colour wheel employed in the projector minimises rainbow -- an anomaly inherent in DLP technology. The BenQ PE7700 is one of the latest hi-def DLP projectors to hit our shore. At the heart of the video display is the high-performance...

BenQ W100 review

Reviews Also evident is DLP's rainbow effect, where especially bright parts of the picture produce almost subliminal flashes of pure red, green and blue stripes in your peripheral vision. We're getting used to seeing video-friendly projectors that sell for...

Roberts Rambler RD-76 review

Reviews Roberts has keenly demonstrated its appetite for retro. As a big player in radio for several decades, the company is lucky enough to own the rights to an impressive reservoir of classic chassis designs.

Sony NW-A1200 (8GB) review

Reviews It's a visual gem, coming in a rainbow of colours. Sony's 8GB NW-A1200 series is more or less identical to the 6GB NW-A1000. With an attractive design, good sound quality and some innovative firmware features, the A1200 should please those looking...

Cowon iAudio 6 (4GB) review

Reviews The new icon-based main-menu system is arranged in a slick rainbow curve, and the dedicated menu and volume buttons come in handy as you tackle the iAudio 6's array of features. The £190 iAudio 6, Cowon's first microdrive player, rivals most flash...
