Hi have seen this projector has replaced the 5360 , but nowhere states if it is 3d vision compatible . Has anyone used it or have any info on how good it is? thanks in advance

I have this projector. It's not 3D [i]Vision[/i] compatible, but 3D [i]TV Play[/i] compatible. If you have Nvidia 3D Vision glasses, you won't be able to use them (unless you use a hack I think). It requires DLP-link glasses, of any kind. It connects through HDMI only. The advantage is that the H5360BD works with PS3 and any 3D Blu-ray player.

Thanks for your explanation Airion I need it to work with a gtx 680 gpu for gaming .The old acer5360 did just that so I thought its replacement would .I wish the manufacturers would work with NVidia more , then maybe more people would buy their products.

Oh, it will definitely work with your GTX 680! The difference is that you'll have to get DLP-link glasses if you don't have them, and pay $40 to activate 3D TV Play. I'd recommend adding them to the cost of the H5360BD and think of it as a single package. If all you're interested in is Nvidia 3D gaming, then there's no advantage. It's otherwise the same as the H5360. But, the advantage of the BD version is it's compatible with other 3D devices such as Blu-rays, PS3, PS4, etc.

Thanks Arion so you can use any dlp projector for 3d gaming? (just need to buy their glasses and buy 3dtv play ), its only taken me 2 weeks to get that answer lol.If that is correct I have much more options .I am basically looking for a good 3d projector for under £1000 including glasses and 3dtv play then .Any ideas? cheers

Not [i]all[/i] DLP projectors are 3D TV Play certified. Most of the mainstream, popular ones are though. Just be sure it's specifically stated as supported.
As for recommendations, I think the Acer H530BD is a solid option for gaming. It's native 720p, which is the limit for 3D frame packing over HDMI. If you want a 1080p projector, I'd recommend the Benq W1070. It's more expensive, and it won't offer much advantage with Nvidia 3D games (limited to 720p), but it would be a plus for 1080p 3D Blu-rays. It would also work well with Tridef.

Ok will check out your recomendations , the benq keeps coming up as a good projector.Nvidia don't give the info out because they want you to buy their glasses obviously.As for tridef that's a 3d conversion? Lots of info to take in . Am gonns keep reading the forums before I make a decision , thankyou very much for your help.

I realize I've made at least one mistake:
I have the H5360BD, with a 6, and you're talking about the H5370BD, with a 7. If I remember correctly the 7 just had a minor change with iPad compatibility or something like that. As far as 3D is concerned, they're the same as far as I know.
For 3D TV Play, previously there was a list of supported displays and receivers. It didn't really make sense that compatibility would be limited, give then it was using the HDMI 1.4 standard. Any HDMI 1.4 device should have worked. Anyway, I couldn't find that old list of compatible displays. But I found this:
"NVIDIA 3DTV Play supports most HDMI 3D TVs, receivers, projectors, and head mounted displays (HMDs) using Release 313 drivers or later." ([url]http://www.nvidia.com/object/3dtv-play-system-requirements.html[/url])
Sounds like they fixed that issue!
As for Tridef, I've never used it, but it's not just 3D conversion. It gives the choice of native 3D or reprojection (conversion) 3D. However, it doesn't support 720p frame packing, only 1080p side by side. The two are equivalent in terms of overall resolution, but for side by side you need a native 1080p display for it to scale properly.

One more question if you don't mind telling me , Does full 3d on a projector mean it comes with a built in emiiter? or do you have to buy one to use the third party glasses?

As far as "supports most HDMI," there's a link on that page to submit your display for a fix if it doesn't work. I think their intent is to be honest about unforeseen bugs. The HDMI standard is imperfect and it has a lot of issues with various devices that should in theory work together, but don't. Nvidia isn't responsible for HDMI, they're just trying to support consumers by being compatible with it.
If you're using a 3D TV Play DLP projector, there's no need for an emitter. Using the projector's DLP-link 3D mode, the image itself provides the sync signal for DLP-glasses. All you need is any brand of DLP-link glasses. I'd recommend avoiding the cheapest ones though.
