Impressions later gentlemen.

Please check for the following!

Brightness relative to projection size.
Ghosting at the top and bottom (hopefully not present like on the Samsung)
Checkerboard or full frame sequential 3d? (Hopefully full frame!)
What inputs, if any, can be used for 3d?

so, i plugged in it, put some games to the res it supports, it will only accept 720p annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnndd


its amazing!

the monitor just isnt enough anymore. batman is superb, Shift is amazing, mass effect is like watching a 3d movie.
i get the rainbow effect slightly, nothing major at the moment. all in all it seems ALOT smoother than the monitor, i dont know why.
Anyways, thats some fast impressions, i will formulate something better after a few hours of fun.

This is sounding quite promising, thanks for your feedback it's really appreciated (i have been following this thread since you said you had one coming)

A couple of questions if you don't mind.

Do you have it connected and working in 3d using a HDMI cable? (how long is the cable?)
Do you notice a drop in brightness/image sharpness when going in to 120hz mode?

I have quite a few more but understand you're probably busy enjoying your new toy!

Cheers.

Nope, I sent it back after 2 weeks of frustration.
I've seen you've had more luck recently with the latest drivers but i've been holding out for a 720p PJ

No worries gentlemen, i have to wait until my son goes to bed anyways, so i have a few hours of 'normal' time.

To answer your questions:
I tried dvi to hdmi for the pc and hdmi to hdmi for the xbox360, all worked as they should.

No noticeable drop in sharpness when in 3d mode, of course the image seems darker with the glasses

In 3d mode, the brightness seems to be at a similar level to normal mode.

"nice, no ghosting at the top?? what size screen are you running with it? and how's the image quality overall?? man i need one know

I didnt see any ghosting at all, running at 720p with a throw distance of 4m and i get a nice 2.5m x 1.Xm image.

Smoothness, i dont know, it just 'seems' smoother, i dropped the res down on the monitor too, but the effect wasnt the same as the Acer


I will check later on with avatar to see what 3d method it uses.
But so far, its outstanding.
Seeing Killer Croc coming out at you on the Arkham death scene was well worth the price of the machine.

Congrats! I am happy and encouraged that this projector is working for you. I just bought the Optoma pro350w and have my fingers crossed that i will get similar results. Let us know more once you have some time on it!

Thats weird as several retailers in the US state they have them in stock and ready to ship. Google Optoma HD 66 and you will see what I mean...
