Temporal characteristics
Different display technologies have vastly different temporal characteristics, leading to claimed perceptual differences for motion, flicker, etc.
The figure shows a sketch of how different technologies present a single white/grey frame. Time and intensity is not to scale. Notice that some have a fixed intensity, while the illuminated period is variable. This is a kind of pulse-width modulation. Others can vary the actual intensity in response to the input signal.
Single-chip DLPs use a kind of "chromatic multiplexing" in which each color is presented serially. The intensity is varied by modulating the "on" time of each pixel within the time-span of one color. Multi-chip DLPs are not represented in this sketch, but would have a curve identical to the plasma display.
LCDs have a constant (backlit) image, where the intensity is varied by blocking the light shining through the panel.
CRTs use an electron beam, scanning the display, flashing a lit image. If interlacing is used, a single full-resolution image results in two "flashes". The physical properties of the phosphor are responsible for the rise and decay curves.
Plasma displays modulate the "on" time of each sub-pixel, similar to DLP.
Movie theaters use a mechanical shutter to illuminate the same frame 2 or 3 times, increasing the flicker frequency to make it less perceptible to the human eye.

DLP Projector Color Issue?
DLP Projector color wheel malfunction?
I have an Optoma 739/745 with about 1400 hours on the first lamp. After about 1hour of operation the image gets color banding (gradients look bad) then the color begins to flicker and the image turns green. Blues look red, etc ...
What is the issue and how can I fix it?
A quick test to verify color wheel problems is to LOOK at the built-in menues on the projector....if they are off color then it MIGHT be a color wheel problem OR it could be a problem related to the interface cable (aka LVDS cable) or the final video processor IC.....
A good way to verify it is OUTSIDE the projector is to KNOW what type of cable is delivering the Video to your projector....
Component cables do have a tendency to "slowly disconnect" over time causing intermittant color changes....so definitely check and RESEAT those connections on both ends....
And if the color shifts, you can disconnect the Red and Blue connectors and see if the problem exists ONLY with the GREEN connector connected....
The Green connector by itself produces a Black and White picture which you can use to verify if the BANDING is actually caused by your SOURCE and not the PROJECTOR....
In my job, we always "Divide and Conquer" the problem first....using the Menu to see if it's in the projector and the Green-Only connection to see it it's outside the projection unit.....
Or we might try another source on the same cable, like another DVD player......that would isolate it to the cable or the projector if it's also a bad signal.
