The best 3D projector: Acer H5360 or Optoma HD66? Can they support HDMI v1.4a stereoscopic format?
hi guys, anyone can help to compare and comment these two projectors? which one is better in terms of:

- picture quality (brightness, color, rainbow effect, etc)
- compatibility (3D Vision, DLP 3D, HDMI v1.4a format, etc)
- C/P ratio

I see "HDMI v1.4a stereoscopic format" is actually came out along with BD3D which was much later than NVIDIA 3D Vision. It even support input signal of "Top-Bottom" and "Side-by-Side" which NVIDIA 3D Vision only output as frame flipping. Can either these two projector support it?

Please help to discuss. Thanks!

I think these two are 90-95% the same.

Owned both of them. Started with the HD66 and was quite disapointed.

it was quite loud and i got a really bad rainbow effect from it. (I am suseptable)

I took it back and got the Acer and I am much happier. it runs quieter and i get no where near as much rainbow from it (zero in 3D mode).

The only issue with the acer is that I use DLP link glasses and the "3d mode enabled" message really does my head in! (stays up for like 30 seconds)


As for 1.4, I beleive that there are no 1.4 projectors out at the moment - but they all work fine for 3D vision, blu-ray and games alike.

OH, then I think I shall hold my purchase to wait till HDMI v1.4 LCD monitor / projector then.
I cannot ensure every where (living room TV and bedroom monitor) can hook up with nVidia, right?
3DBD player / PS3 are target as well~
