What is Anti‑RBE?
“Rainbow effect” (RBE) appears on some DLP projectors when a color wheel cycles quickly, producing brief colored flashes along high‑contrast edges. Valerion says Anti‑RBE uses software to blend color sequences faster than the eye can perceive, effectively smoothing those artifacts without major hardware changes.
Verdict
The VisionMaster Max targets enthusiasts who want DLP brightness and contrast without the typical color‑wheel artifacts. Its feature set and smart TV integration make it a premium option — but the $4,999 starting price puts it squarely in the high‑end market.
