Where you'll really see the value of PhotoJPEG is in native DVI matching pixels and refresh rates with your native output device. Still though, LCD and DLP will have different levels of clarity.

The bottom line is to stick with AIC unless absolutely necessary to change.
and photojpeg has much worse performance than aic.
much worse.
and at 80% photojpeg and greater its usually very bad-

on a recent show i changed a photojpeg 75% file to aic and it halved the time per frame - 12ms for photojpeg to - 6ms for aic. same image. same computer - no other changes.
and this can be the difference between things working well or not working well at all.
