Why do you ask? Are you not happy with the Projector that you purchased? If you Google the HD25e, there are a lot of user reviews and forum posts on it! (it's been out almost a year)

TsaebehT...lol I figured the reason he was asking, is because the HD25e had some kind of lighthouse beacon bulb in it. So I "Googled" it and found out that it was a normal projector bulb and rated at 2800 ANSI Lumens. If I wasn't so lazy, I'd perhaps check the AVS forums and see if anyone performed a test on the lumen output. Or I'd Google it again and check for some professional reviews from someone like Kraine. http://www.projection-homecinema.fr/ http://www.cinetson.org/phpBB3/projecteurs-f2/ http://www.avsforum.com/

i'm not seeing "nvidia 3d tv play" mentioned anywhere in the product specs... does this mean this projector simply will not work for pc nvidia 3d vision? considering the optoma hd25e over the benq w1070 for it's use of RF glasses, as i hear dlp-link causes contrast problems. or does this mainly just depend on the quality of the particular glasses?

DLP-Link doesn't have any contrast problems for me, on a W1070. I'd like it if the image was a little brighter in 3d, but I'm only projecting onto a wall - a proper screen would presumably be much better.

As far as I know it's a myth that DLP-link reduces contrast. It probably comes from the fact that the image appears to have less contrast when the glasses are off due to the image being mixed with the DLP-link flash (especially when the projector uses white instead of red for it). The DLP-link glasses simply filter this out though. That said, some cheap DLP-link glasses don't fully do their job of blocking the DLP-link flash, in which case contrast would be reduced. In reviews of such glasses, people will say blacks look a little reddish. This means some of the DLP-link flash is making it through. Even if the reviews say the glasses are overall fine, I would avoid them for this reason. There should be no problem if the glasses are of sufficient quality.

I've been using cheap £18 DLP link glasses with the H5360BD as well as an Acer pair that came with the projector that retail about £60, the image looks great using both. The main problem with the cheap glasses is that they lose the sync REALLY easily when there are white flashes or large areas of bright colour in the image, and its really bloody annoying.
