A new projector that looks promising and projectors in portrait InFocus IN116 Mobile DLP Projector
Any chance of this projector being added to the 3D Vision supported list? Or is there some kind of hack I can use to get it to work?

I'm planning on buying 3 and running them in portrait mode, most likely with some fans to force air in to prevent them from overheating. If necessary I may even modify the projector casing or take the workings out of the casing entirely so the bulbs can be cooled properly.
A response from someone with experience in portrait projector setups would be awesome. I know you guys are out there! /thanks.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':thanks:' />

I don't like bulbs, bulbs age, get dimmer , change color spectra after 800hours , colors are not saturated enough, while LED projector looks twice as bright than a bulb with same lumen, because saturated colors. Especially bulb RED suuuuucks.
(This also means that LCD screens are very bad compared to RGB LED, and plasma is very dark)

Can projectors not on the official list still work with 3D Vision? Or do I have to pay more for certified models like the Optoma ones?
That would suck as I want 3 so all extra costs are multiplied...
The projectors I'm looking at would cost around $1500 for all 3, which is less than a 3D TV but obviously would allow for a much higher resolution and a much bigger screen.
How can I direct/ask this question to nvidia so I can get some form of official response?

I have no idea about that particular projector, but some people do run projectors not on the compatible list by either using hacked inf files to make the projector appear to be a compatible projector or by using a VGA connection and the generic CRT setting.
I have no idea if projectors run this way will work in surround or in portrait mode since portrait mode is only available for projectors with 3D Vision.
Any direct response from NVidia will be that the projector is not supported.

This is not too good idea , because this is not how you attain extra resolution with DLP.
Ideally, you only need 2 projectors sitting on eachother, and instead of 1:1 pixel mapping, one of the pj's is offset by half pixel diagonally, and thanks to zero DLP screendoor, resolution can be overlapped , then you have ~ 2560*1200 with only two projectors, without the black lines (!!!).
Needs custom digital front end between PC and projectors, all doable, people should set up a fund and hire hackers.

Ah yes, the vga option may work... I wish there was a way to test it before buying them :( The hacked INF option though is a good suggestion. Although I'm thinking maybe I should just buy the Optomas and avoid all the hassle :-\

I see... I'm after solutions that are available now though - otherwise I'd wait a few years until actual 1080p @ 120hz projectors become available, or more LED based projectors become available. But even then we'd need nvidia support regardless, unfortunately. iz3d and tridef are unworkable until they get SLI and Surround support, which is unlikely.

Truth is, 720p 3D is not distracting at all, if it was, we would ve solved it already. Not even flicker is distracting, 120hz per eye wouldn't hurt tho.
720p -800p bulb is still the best buy and will be for a while, looks like Texas Instruments is neglecting LED intentionally.
