Everyone rates them, I’ve tried a few like the Optoma HD142X... but they make me feel sick.
What’s up with them?

Why do projectors make me feel sick?

DLP rather than LCD? Do you see "rainbows" in the picture? If so, try an LCD projector. How are you in the cinema?

This could be a balance thing.
We use the fluid in the inner ear and the our eyes to clue us in to our balance. When the messages are mixed then some of us get what we know as seasickness.
There's a bell curve with how sensitive people are to this. At one end there are the folk who can eat dinner during a storm on a fishing trawler, and at the other end there are those who feel queasy on a pedalo on a boating lake. The rest of us are somewhere in the middle.
You'll probably ask why you're unaffected watching the same things on TV?
The answer is that the TV picture isn't big enough to dominate your field of view, and you watch with some ambient light on so you can see other parts of the room. The messages from your eyes agree with the signals from the inner ears.
When you watch a projected image it's much bigger and you may be watching in complete darkness so all your eyes have is the the projected image.
There's also a difference in the way some people watch a large image. Most people find that their eyes settle on the central portion of the screen most of the time.
Others have been observed that their eyes are constantly moving from spots all over the screen. They're the ones more susceptible to rainbows and to nausea.
