Using this way, the Panasonic 300BDT blu-ray player will output checkerboard pattern 3D, and should then work fine with the H5360 projector[/quote]
Hi,
I have an extra pair I could sell to anyone. They are located in Finland, but shipping to UK wouldn't probably be that much. They are brand new, used probably less than 2 hours a piece. Anyone PM if interested :)

Incidentally, as I was quoted in the reply I wanted to correct a wrong assumption. The acer projector can NOT accept DLP 3D checkerboard format. It ONLY supports 720p 120Hz frame sequential. But you CAN use DLP link glasses at the same time as Nvidia ones. If you enable DLP 3D mode it will work with both the nVidia glasses and DLP link glasses the same time. In fact, you don't need to use any nVidia glasses at all and can just use the DLP link ones. This means if your projector is in another room, and you have a long HDMI cable, you don't need to worry about using a USB cable as well.
The only downside of DLP link glasses, is that it affects the contrast ratio of the projector. With DLP 3D mode engaged, it inserts special frames into the video to signal the glasses. But black is no longer black and becomes grey/blue. This looks dark grey once you wear your glasses though, but naturally as black is no longer as black as it was, the overall contrast is affected. It seems to have the effect of de-saturating some of the colours in the overall image as well.

[quote name='tritosine' post='1063374' date='May 27 2010, 07:42 PM']Haha I would never engage DLP link I know it does that. Engaging nvidia only applies color boosts.
But in reality you dont have to engage either for the pj to work in 3d. So xpand glasses wouldnt work instead of nvidia you say?[/quote]
I couldn't get my Optoma DLP link glasses to work without engaging the DLP 3D mode. Are you saying they should work always? I don't see how because enabling DLP 3D inserts the special frames that the glasses detect and synchronise to. The only problem is it messes up the picture. Once you put the PJ in DLP link mode....then both nVidia and/or DLP link glasses work at the same time.

Really? I only see the contrast change when switching to 120hz. Turning DLP Link on and off doesn't see to affect black levels for me...

Try displaying a partly black screen (such as a film with borders top and bottom), and enable DLP link...and tell me if the black areas change when you enable DLP Link 3D in the Acer menu. Don't wear any glasses when doing this so its easier to see.

I would sacrifice everything for on/off contrast (blacks) , ONCE I have the brightness Im looking for.
I want to try 85hz somehow too with shutters.
