The good news, with a 40" to 60" TV, there's no reason to get anywhere near that close! Unless you've lost your remote that is.

I own the Samsung 46" DLP and it's great for games. The only problem is if you use the Xbox dashboard a lot. It runs at 480i and the component inputs on the current DLPs are two 480p/720p/1080i and one 480i/480p. I have mine on the higher-end compoent since I don't use the dashboard at all.
I have seen the rainbows, but it's few and far between. I can see them if I do a quick glance at the screen, but it's never been a problem. Unless you see them with direct viewing, the DLP is a great tv to have.

Of course, that doesn't help you, but if I buy one in the next few months, I should be set.

480i/480p input --> PS2
480p/720p/1080i --> Xbox (no dashboard)
480p/720p/1080i --> Gamecube
DVI --> Samsung HD931
I do have to deal with not having another DVI input for the upcoming HD-Tivo, but a switcher should fix that.
