Projectors What connection do they use for 3D vision?
I'm looking to buy one but i dont know what type of connection is needed, with a monitor its just DVI-D to DVI-D. Is it the same on projectors? because some of the supported ones in nvidias list do not have DVI connections, only the d-sub vga connection which i thought you couldnt use?

If you have a projector, what cable do you use to play in 3D?

Thanks

I use DVI to HDMI adapter on the video card, and then a regular 1.3 HDMI cable to the HDMI port on the Acer H5360. Works great... It also works with the HDMI to DVI cable which came with 3d vision, but its too short for my setup...

Cool thanks for the reply, that is the projector we are currently looking at because it has HDMI, they say the VGA connection quality is not as good as DVI/HDMI so thought it be best to go for an HDMI projector. I didnt get any cables other than the 2 usb cables with my 3D vision set, but cables are only like £6 off ebay so will get one from there.

Cheers
