@Wiggo That happens on DLP projectors that have colour wheels. The screen is refreshed in colour passes, and through persistence of vision you experience a colour image. If you flick your eyes across the screen quickly, or there a high contrast image (white text on a black screen for example) some people see the rainbow effect where they’re seeing a bit one pass and a bit of another.
You need to consider a 3LCD type projector, there are more expensive as they generate three colour images at the same time and combine them through a prism and the whole image is output in one go.
I have an Optoma UHD30 4K60 projector and PS5 is incredible on it at 120”. (It’s a DLP chip with and RGBWRGBW colour wheel). My goto game for showing it off is Horizon Forbidden West. So many people overlook that game but it’s stunning. I can run my projector at 240hz 1080 from a PC and there is no noticeable rainbow effect as the refresh rate is so high, but that mode isn’t compatible with PS5. (Though it will do 120hz 1080 for games that support 40fps)
