DLP listings

Just enter your zip code. Or search the whole US. They're listed by states.

A little off-topic but i have a question about DLP theaters.Can you see rainbows while watching something in a DLP theater or is that restricted to DLP tv's?

I would think that theater projectors use a 3-chip DLP system which would mean no rainbows. The rainbows are a result of the color wheel in the 1-chip system used in most consumer sets.

I've seen about 10 movies in digital over the past year and have yet to see a rainbow.

I would just like to mention the DLP search doesn't list all theaters. There are three theaters in Vegas capable of playing films in digital (two of them are playing Episode 3 at the moment); but they are not listed in the DLP search on the website.

I think Fandango had a DLP listing as well.

The site doesn't bring up any DLP Cinemas in Georgia... does anyone know if there's at least one? I'm surprised there aren't DLP Cinemas in Cleveland, OH or Atlanta, GA.

I get that message if I try to search for a theater by zip code. However, just go to the worldwide search box and search the USA. It will list the states and the theaters that are showing digital releases. There are none in Georgia, at least none listed on the site.

I'm tempted to stop off at AMC Pleasure Island 24 by Disney World to catch Episode III on my way from Tampa to Savannah this Thursday. I have yet to see the movie, but those of you who have seen a digital showing, would it be worth my time? I'll probably end up seeing it with some buddies in Savannah, so should I just wait and settle for a standard film print?

There is one in Cleveland... but I guess it probably isn't clear to people that don't live around here: http://www.fandango.com/TheaterPage....4125&tid=AANHI

Valley View is a suburb of Cleveland. Maybe there's one in a suburb of Atlanta?

The BEST theater in the Cleveland area, by far. not to mention it's next to one of the best wing places in the known universe.

Really?? I know about it (obviously), I know where it's at... but I've never gone to see a movie there. Guess I'll have to change that.

Here here. Except that I used to go to the original in Sharon .

Wow. The digital cinema rollout is crazy. In Texas, there's two in the Dallas area, one in Austin and one in middle-of-nowhere Big Spring? I'm surprised there's a theater at all in Big Spring.

Does anyone know if there's much of a difference between TI's DLP and Kodak's Digital Cinema System?
