hi, i have the acer h5360, i use a blackout cloth as a screen, movies look amazing on a 70 inch screen in a pretty dark room, especially avatar. With gaming, i tried out ff13 wasn't excellent but good, when i tried killzone 3 it was amazing but overall most of my games looked really good. I haven't tried 3d yet but 2D is amazing with the h5360

I don't know about the optoma hd66, but i would check out some youtube videos

hope this helps

NVIDIA really needs to focus on getting some short-throw projectors certified for the 3D Vision kit. The only short throw of note is the Optoma GT720 which is impossible to find. The GT700 is the same with a bit dimmer bulb though.

Here is a short list of projectors I'd recommend.
Optoma GT700: http://www.projectorcentral.com/Optoma-GameTime_GT700-projection-calculator-pro.htm
Optoma GT720: http://www.projectorcentral.com/Optoma-GameTime_GT720-projection-calculator-pro.htm
InFocus IN146: http://www.projectorcentral.com/InFocus-IN146-projection-calculator-pro.htm
BenQ MW811ST: http://www.projectorcentral.com/BenQ-MW811ST-projection-calculator-pro.htm
Dell S200: http://www.projectorcentral.com/Dell-S300-projection-calculator-pro.htm
Dell S300W: http://www.projectorcentral.com/Dell-S300W-projection-calculator-pro.htm
ViewSonic PJD7583w: http://www.projectorcentral.com/ViewSonic-PJD7583w-projection-calculator-pro.htm
Optoma TW610ST: http://www.projectorcentral.com/Optoma-TW610ST-projection-calculator-pro.htm

Optoma GT700 is 0.72:1 short-throw. 2000/2300 ANSI lumens. 3D ready. 3000/5000 bulb life.
Optoma GT720 is 0.72:1 short-throw. 2000/2500 ANSI lumens. 3D ready. 3000/5000 bulb life.
InFocus IN146 is 0.48:1 short-throw. 2700 ANSI lumens. 3D ready. 4500/6000 bulb life.
BenQ MW811ST is 0.49:1 short-throw. 2500 ANSI lumens. 3D ready. 4000/5000 bulb life.
Dell S300 is 0.52:1 short-throw. 2200 ANSI lumens. 3D ready. 5000 bulb life.
Dell S300W is 0.52:1 short-throw. 2200 ANSI lumens. 3D ready. 5000 bulb life.
ViewSonic PJD7583w is 0.49:1 short-throw. 3000 ANSI lumens. 3D ready. 4000/6000 bulb life.
Optoma TW610ST is 0.52:1 short-throw. 3100 ANSI lumens. 3D ready. 3000/4000 bulb life.

Problem is many on this list are not certified for 3D Vision yet. NVIDIA needs to get on the ball because there are no short-throw viable options on their list other than the GT720 at the moment. Short-throw is more or less a requirement for anyone doing multi-projector like I do. If you want a big picture with limited projection distance, a lens between 0.7:1 and 0.5:1 short-throw is the answer when looking for what to buy.

The way around the lack of certification on any of these projectors is to force the Acer_H5360.inf on the projector. That way the drivers will see it as a viable 3D Vision projector. It's a hack way of addressing the issue, but until NVIDIA certs other 720p short-throw projectors for 3D Vision, that is the way to address the problem.
