One question. I have h5360 and nvidia 3d vision. If this proyector is 3d ready, can I play (for example) avatar the game in 3d (xbox 360 version) with my pj with nvidia 3d glasses or I need other kind of glasses to play it?.
I,ve heard xbox 360 is going to 3d too. Anybody knows if this will run with h5360?

Any important feature that is not included in H5630 and is present in the becaming proyectors in next 2 or 3 months ? I´m not informed about new proyectors, so I can´t know if H5630 is a good buy today.
Personally I do not need full HD support (1080p). But any problem with image quality or color reproduction? any stereo problem? not enough zoom? not enough bright? very noise? expensive por the money it cost today? .... I don´t know, if you would have to make a review today what is the cons for this PJ comparing with new hardware releases ?

Until I can afford another PC, I am now running a 20 meter HDMI cable so I can put my projector in the room which already has a screen and surround sound. Then I have another cable for coax digital (as I need to keep the sound separate to go to my amp), and then a third long USB cable for the transmitter.
Finally I could see how good the H5360 is for the money.
By the way the 20 metre cable is a new type which has an active repeater half way down the cable (uses power available on the HDMI connection).
The only problem I still have, and I have had it from day 1 with nVidia 3D is the intermittent flickering issue which many others have. All suggested cures so far have failed, including an OS re-install. I think its partially motherboard related unfortunately so it may never be cured.
But other than trailing 3 long cables down staircases I am ready and waiting for the first 3D blu-rays! :)

I have read that brightness of this H5360 pj decreases a lot when in 120hz mode, so if this is true using Nvidia 3d Vision may produce very dark images. Please, write impresions about how important is this thing.

It has been narrowed down to enabling sli, having any sort of system monitoring enabled and external light sources. I removed all three, used driver removal from guru 3d, did a fresh install of the latest drivers, re-enabled sli and i haven't seen a flicker since buddy!... i used to get it alot.

The 5360 is VERY bright. Yes it is brighter at 60hz than it is at 120hz, but the brightness at 60hz was hurting my eyes... I needed to go to eco mode, otherwise - too bright.
I am 8 feet from the screen with a 123" screen on white ScreenGoo paint.
For the flickering - for me it has been the USB port that gave me the most grief. Having a long USB cable was bad, have a "regular" USB to Cat5e converter did not work consistently, I moved to an active fast USB to cat5e repeater ($300...) and that seems to be OK. Sometimes when it loses its power, it also loses the emitter. I need to disconnect and reconnect manually. Otherwise, it's pretty good.

Thanks for the reply. I have a GTX295, so the effects of SLI may be a little different. But I wanted to understand what you meant by system monitoring? Do you mean something built-in to Windows (7 in my case), or you meant those extra programs that come with graphics cards or available to download. I haven't installed any of them.

I find this projector very good and quite bright when in 120hz mode.
The only problem I have at the moment is colours... I need to know what the best setting is for this.. I watched avatar on it and although it was good I found that they wernt very blue.

Perhaps but it does require sli none the less. System monitoring is exactly as you thought aswell as cpuid and speedfan and anything like that. Hope you get it sorted soon /wave.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':wave:' />

I don't know where you got the 750 lumens, but the specs are:
Acer H5360 DLP Projector Specifications
General Aspect Ratio 16:9 (Native)
Brightness (ANSI Lumens)
2500 ANSI Lumens (Normal)
2000 ANSI Lumens (Eco Mode)
Contrast Ratio 3200:1
I would qualify 2500 lumens pretty high. I used to have a CRT projector at 1200 lumens and it was OK. Not good enough for 3D though. The Acer IS bright.

All the current 720 120hz projectors drop in lumens something shocking when running at 120hz, it's just how it is with them.
@Sdumas he is saying whilst wearing the shutters plus the projector dropping in lumens when running at 120hz comes to about 750 lumens and is pretty much bang on.

It would be nice to know from the vendor the different levels of luminosity available at different frequencies.
I supposed that when the glasses are on, they are somewhat a demultiplier of current luminosity. Can we say by more than half though? What the projector is sending to the screen versus what comes to your eyes must be measurable somehow.
Just curious, nothing else in that case. 750 just seems very low. My older CRT was 1200 and was not as bright as this one even when I wear the glasses at 120hz.
I guess that perception is also a big factor. I also have a room that's totally dark; -no windows, no nothing. That makes "almost" anything bright in that room. LOL.

Personally I do not need full HD support (1080p). But any problem with image quality or color reproduction? any stereo problem? not enough zoom? not enough bright? very noise? expensive por the money it cost today? .... I don´t know, if you would have to make a review today what is the cons for this PJ comparing with new hardware releases ?

For the flickering - for me it has been the USB port that gave me the most grief. Having a long USB cable was bad, have a "regular" USB to Cat5e converter did not work consistently, I moved to an active fast USB to cat5e repeater ($300...) and that seems to be OK. Sometimes when it loses its power, it also loses the emitter. I need to disconnect and reconnect manually. Otherwise, it's pretty good.

Actually its not much brighter than a 2233rz in 3d, which I consider close to unplayable. I regulary set +30% brightness in nv control panel.
Oh and prepare for 30% brightness drop once you pass 800hours on the bulb.
