CR Quick Recommendations

The Ratings list models by performance. Quick Picks highlights models that you might want to consider based not only on how they scored, but also on factors such as price and features. With DLP sets, make sure you're not troubled by the rainbow effect--a perceived flash of color that you may see along the edges of bright objects on a dark background. The Guide to the Ratings is on page 24.
