There are three chip DLPs that are for theatrical use - they do not have the
flicker I wrote about.  Each DMD chip gets its own primary color, rather
than using a rotating color wheel to "time share" a single panel between
different primary colors.  They run well over $10,000, to even many times
that.  The systems that use only one chip do have a benefit of a simpler
light path and allows fewer optical pieces to be used - so it is in that
case easier to get better contrast.

I don't pretend to be an expert, I just did enough looking around and
weighing the tradeoffs before settling on an NEC brand LCD projector.
