Yes, yes, looking forward to The Man of Steel in 3D. DLP is short for Digital Light Processing, it uses a little mirror with many tiny little switches – one for each pixel (so a 1080P DLP TV has a mirror with 2,073,600 little switches!) They shoot a white light through a coloured wheel that spins very quickly and the mirror rapidly change for the image. So basically it draws a blue image, then a green, then a red. Some newer ones have more inbetween colours.
When you look at it, its kind of shimmering, and when you move your eyes, many people will see a rainbow effect of colours. It’s cheap, so something like 80% of the Cinemas in the States use them. I never want to waste another dollar for a DLP movie. I would describe it as watching a movie and having little ants that can not sting you or hurt you in any way crawling over you body at the same time – including your eyes. They are just doing their thing as you watch the movie, and there is nothing you can do to stop them from crawling. It will not kill you, but kind of ruins the whole movie experience. Plus, it’s from Texas Instruments, which is a really bad company. 24P refers to 24 frames per second. It was adopted as a standard by the motion picture industry around 1930 as it was ‘good enough’ for most people. The developer of motion film warned, “Anything less than 46 frames per second would strain the eye.” As some people, like the baseball player Lou Garret, can see much faster than the average person. (The rumor is he did not like movies because of the flicker.) Some human eyes can see things as fast as 200Hz – that would be 200 frames per second. Do you notice the blinking of LED car lights? Of some LED Christmas lights? Most people can not see them, but those that can, find them highly irritating, distracting and annoying.
Others can tell you which way a helicopters blades are spinning - and count them. Approximately 3% of the USA has this 'mutant vision.'

Well, my eyes seem to adjust recently when I go to see a motion image at 24p & 30p & 60p. I think it's because of all the time I have spent playing the Nintendo 3DS 60P with 3D ON, while spending the rest of my time watching a standard Defintion 30p TV.
My eyes seem to adjust to make motion images look like a motion image.
And I'm not surprise to hear DLP is from Texas instruments, once you had described the stupid idea of a bunch of little mirrors, LOL.
But 60 fps became the standard for 3D motion pictures back in the 1930's, and recently they have started showing some 3D Movies in their original High-Frame-Rate format, like the Hobbit.
I have found 24P fine for most parts of G.I. Joe Retaliation 3D. But I know what of mean when watching certain 3D scenes in 24P.
Are you one of the 3% with mutant vision, LOL?
FYI if you see "HFR 3D" for a movie, then go see that 3D Movie and in HFR 3D version at that, for a minimum of 48 fps, and as high as 60 fps, like what Avatar 2 will have its frame rate and premiere be in. But I don't like Avatar, but I do want to see it for the 3D effect, and 2 & 3 for the 60P per image 3D.
