Epson EH-TW5300 LCD Full High Definition 3D Home Theatre Projector?
Hi folks, any idea on whether the Epson EH-TW5300 is a good choice for playing pc games in 3D? I've looked at the manual; http://cdn.cnetcontent.com/a1/bb/a1bbb849-e201-4e38-93ce-1845a09f6e77.pdf but I'm unsure if it only runs at only 60Hz overall which would give 30HZ per eye which would be flickery/noticeable and induce eyestrain as the glasses aren't passive? *I do already have & use the v1 Nvidia 3D Vision kit with my 120hz monitor.

Thanks D-Man11, I was considering the EH-TW5300 because of it's short throw (I only want a 70 inch screen size - looked at tvs but projector would be better) but I did find some short-throw DLP projectors and the BENQ TH682ST DLP Short Throw Full HD Projector (http://www.justprojectors.com.au/th682st.htm) seems promising. Also it's available at an Officeworks store near me so I could actually try it out and return it if isn't good enough for 3D pc gaming, though they don't have the glasses so I'd have to buy some outright online.
