Optoma not the optimal choice. Lack of support to kill 3d interest?
I work in a retail-store, I have been a gamer since 1984, I have worked in Gamestop, and I stand behind the counter and give advice on purchases, new tech, 3d, HD and we sell both Optoma HD65 and HD67 btw.

This is a time where the industry is pushing 3D to the masses. 3D tvs are up and running in demo, everyone has seen Avatar, and an unusual large number of people ask about 3D.

So, an Optoma representative stated they are working with nVidia to gain support for HD66/67. (Us/Eu).

nVidia states here that they are working with Optoma to get the support right.

Really? Threads about this issue are a year old soon. In January it was just a matter of time? Now its MAY.

Isnt it really just about nVidia making Optoma pay a high price for the label of 3d vision-ready? And by doing so, possibly killing Optoma all together, and handing Acer of all brands the leadership of 3D, and the lesser evil as a dual-fuction homecinema?

If nVidia gets its act together, they should allow Optoma access, as the HD67 is very good in many ways also for 2D.


Again, its the era of 3D and the pushers arent ready with the supplies?

What are these companies doing? Wearing glasses with total shut-out technology?

Yeah, it's right up there with Mitsubishi's checkerboard conversion box only supporting Mitsubishi DLP TV's. They would sell more of them if they stopped the proprietary BS. As far as Nvidia licensing practices, it just doesn't make sense as they consider it all a hardware solution. Actually make the drivers a sellable product, include the cost in new 3dVision purchases, sell your driver on the open market just like others are doing. Open up supported displays faster and sell more software.
