I'm buying a projector....
  1 / 2    
Hey people, I'm thinking of buying an optoma 151x any taughts on this ?? I would like to inquire as to what my best options would be regarding 3D and Sound !! Do I have to pay nearly 60 quid a pop for the optoma 3d glasses ??? Or is 3d vision the better option ??? Also I've been worrying about the sound I suppose there is no point in having a 120" screen without good surround sound setup !! I was thinking of buying a yamaha rxv679 just not sure about the speakers ? Can I get a wireless speaker system that works really well ??? Do I put the center speaker under the screen or is it better over it..(i'm gonna hang the screen from the ceiling) ?? I will be connecting my pc through maybe a roku 3... I would like to connect my digibox as well. Do I need to run a really long HDMI cable ??? I'm gonna hang the projector out of the ceiling. As always all help is greatly appreciated, Regards, Jay

The Optoma 151x is an HDMI 1.4 compliant projector, so you would want to buy 3DTV Play if you plan on 3D gaming accessing Nvidia's middleware stereoscopic drivers. You can buy cheap DLP Link glasses, you do not have to buy the Optoma glasses. Are you planning on gaming or just watching movies?

You'll have to do some research on what speakers + receiver you'll want to get. I got an Onkyo 5.1 receiver with Energy 5.1 Take Classic speakers, but you may want to get different speakers depending on your room. I found this video helpful for speaker positioning: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1ib_lWdj-k

3DTV Play requires that you use the manufacturer's glasses or compatitble 3rd party glasses. 3DTV Play requires a HDMI 1.4 compliant display and only works via HDMI. http://www.nvidia.com/object/3dtv-play-overview.html Nvidia's 3D vision glasses do not work with 3DTV Play.

[quote="jaymc"]your not being helpfull at all D-man quite the opposite actually. all you seem to be doing is giving out ![/quote] It seems that you can't read, I told you already that you need 3DTV Play for this projector. I also told you that you could use DLP Link glasses instead of the Optoma glasses. I also told you that 3D vision glasses do not work with 3DTV Play. I also posted you the link for 3D Vision certified projectors So how the fuck can you say that I'm not being helpful? Because I didn't answer all 7 questions for you? Who cares about your Roku, I don't. Seems to me like you are just to lazy to bother doing a little research on your own. Not to mention that your impatient and expect people to reply immediately to your questions. But yah, someone else can help you because I'm no longer going to bother.

Long DVI cables are a bad idea without boosters. 3D Vision will work over any connection. 3D Vision will not officially work with your projector. Unofficially, who knows. Why the fuck would you want to game at 4:3 (12:9), when you can game at 16:9?

9 inches extra top an bottom of the picture..... Thats a foot an a half longer picture... it's a hell of a lot bigger an the 3d effect should be better with the bigger picture. I can just increase the resolution, but I will get a much larger screen as a result of using a square picture..
