Damn it cant seem to to work wid 3d vision at 85... How do you do it on the optoma?

Anyone tried the same trick with the 1.25?

Or has nvidia closed that loophole too.

Does the Optoma HD66 really enable DLP-link 3D mode automatically when you feed it 120Hz signal?

On the Acer H5360 there is an separate setting to enable the DLP-link "white light" mode.

Sorry, not meaning to kill your mojo rikun. I have just successfully configured Optoma HD67. Running on 1.23 and on the inf file from our master in here. I also took out the two pins for edid first. First I had issues with VGA- out of range, but after around 3 restarts, the driver sticks. It seems to me it does turn on 3d automatically for 120Hz 720p, however not Dlp-link but the ir I think? I dont know as I now cannot change 3d settings like inversion for dlp-link-based glasses like Xpand or Optomas own. it just states "3D".

The projector doesn't really need to turn any 3D mode on if using an IR emitter on the computer... It may say 3D, but it probably changes nothing?

If it would enable the DLP-link mode, the blacks would seem substancially lifted and the contrast lower in overall.

I'm asking because I'm contemplating whether or not to change my Acer to the Optoma, since most likely the Optoma has a superior picture quality.

Have just tried to get the HD67 to work with this solution but I am afraid it didn't work.

The HD67 is the European version of the HD66.

You can install it and get the nVidia 3D setup to think it is a CRT but when it tries to enable 3D the Optoma reports 'VGA out of range'.

I have tried a number of supported custom respoltions at 120hz but to no avail.

There is one thing I noticed that may give us a bit of hope though.

In the HD67 manual there are references to Nvidia 3D vision. In the appendices section on pages 49 and 50 there are codes relating to RS232 Protocol Function Lists.

Now I know this doesn't mean we should all start jumping up and down for joy, but it does prove that the HD67 supports nVidia 3D vision, enough for it to get a mention in the manual.

I hope that Optoma and nVidia can sort something out or I will ditch the nVidia solution and jump ship to ATI, I am sure I won't be alone.

You can download the Optoma HD67 manual and see the passages refering to nVidia 3D vision here

Hmm that probably means you could switch those 3D modes on/off via the RS-232 port.

Rikun,

The Optoma HD66 does automatically turn on DLP-Link white light mode when the 3d is turned on and reduces the black levels in the process ALOT! It sucks BIG TIME and makes 3d gaming on the projector virtually unplayable on any dark game, such as metro 2033. A true driver for the optoma hd66 may fix the issue, but not at the moment, and looks like theres no hope for it yet either. I cannot speak for the HD67 though.

Coppershark,

this may be an easy one to fix, but I'm not sure.

You must have the projector plugged into the first VGA or DVI port on your GFX card. I too get the VGA out of range when it's plugged into the second port.
