[quote name='PiXeL' post='992328' date='Jan 30 2010, 05:56 PM']The screen you use has just as much to do with color representation as the projector. What type of screen were/are you using?[/quote]


Hi PiXeL,

I was using blackout cloth. What screen would you suggest? Could you please send me some links? There are too many screens available online and I could not decide which one to buy.

I am waiting for acer H5360 to be released in US so that i will have full driver support from Nvidia. So I would definitely try it with better screen.

Thanks
Arun

Never had a projector before so a complete beamer virgin, i have a lovely open wall painted white i could use the h5360 on....is this a plausible idea in terms of image loss or contrast problems or anything like that?

Do a projector wall paint search in this forum, you'll find some really, really good products.

I used to use (still do from time to time, gave it up for 1080p,120hrtz samy650), a Hitchi pj51 720p projector, displayed somewhere between 94icnhes, and 124inches.

I used Behr "Silverscreen" Paint. Rocked.

Basically, bought a house, hired a pro to drywall the basement.

Primed and painted 124inches at 16x9 with Behr "Silverscreen" Paint (used the best primer $$ could buy as well).

Sourrounded with basebord/trim

People were blown away at the image. (especially in a complete black environment, even with moderate lighting it was pretty impressive (would still be using it if it was 1080p)..

I own a h5360 and a Samsung SM2233RZ and and the depth on the h5360 isnt as good as the depth on the samsung but the popout on the h5360 is way better.

Im hoping there is some way to get more depth on my pj, its something to do with the nvidia 3d not knowing the screen size of your pj because its not a fixed size.
There is a way to do it by editing the registry but I havent figured out how to do it and would rather nvidia bring out a screen size option for pj's.

Here s's hoping they do, the h5360 looks fantastic and the depth is good but not what it should be looking at the samsung.

Does the lower resolution bother anyone?
I was thinking of maybe buying one, would be using it on a 92 inch screen.

Not really sure if I should wait for a 1080P, it would probaly be a lot more expencive aswell.

I'd like to see you run an 3d vision game in full 1080p. Not on a 295 GTX.

Honestly 1280x720 is fine. When 3d vision surround comes out it will be 2560 x 720 for me ;) Combined with a couple of Fermi's offcourse.

Last update was that it [i]is[/i] coming to the U.S., but no date announced. Andrew said he was looking into it, but that was a while ago now. I check pretty much every day for availability online. Sux. Really, I just want to know how much it is going to debut for in the U.S. If it's the same price as the Optoma HD66, I'll just get the Optoma and stop wasting my time waiting.

seemed more appropriate in this thread, so I moved it over.

other than hdmi, it sux that most of these projectors default audio output is mono only.

I got mine too yesterday, and after some wrestling with NVidia drivers I got it working. I had a IZ3D monitor before, but this is a lot better. It does not compare really, this is awesome...

NO GHOSTING!!!!

Also I saw an online review that mentioned some flicker, well I did not notice any.

This is great stuff...
