My cousin bought a 50" DLP even though he saw the rainbow effect while shopping at Tweeter because he was told he would get used to it by the sales rep. After 3 weeks it was worse, he couldn't even make it through a single football game on Sunday afternoon without getting a killer headache. He brought it back under Tweeter's 30-day money back policy and walked out with a 42" Panasonic plasma (which I recommended since I have one and love it).
To make a long story short, he no longer gets headaches, likes the better picture of the plasma, but has 8 less inches of screen and spent more money on the plasma.
So my recommendation is if you see the rainbow effect on a DLP, do not buy it unless the place you are shopping at has a great return policy.
