Does the glasses support dual view/play? it is not specified on optoma website,but i've read that you can switch 3D to 2D modes pressing the on button

You can switch them off by pushing the button, wich would go back to 2D mode.

These glasses do not have a button for DLP Dual View/Play. Only an on or off mode, there is no "left eye only" or "right eye only" button, which is required for Dual View. Although I haven't actively looked for this specific feature, the only DLP Link glasses that I've come across that have this functionality are the "XPAND Edux 3 3D Glasses" but they are difficult to find. You apparently have to contact XPAND before buying them so that they can upgrade the glasses to include Dual View. http://www.xpand.me/technology/dual-view-gaming/

There is no such button on the glasses. 3D to 2D conversion is a feature of BD player.

I have not tried it with Minecraft (I don't have the game). The glasses create a 3D effect in every game I've tried, but the image is off (it seems like a distorted depth perception) for any game that Nvidia does not list as supported.

Hi Carl, most Optoma projectors have a 3D 'DLP-Link' emitter built into them. People often purchase this '3D-RF' emitter in conjunction with the Radio Frequency glasses because they give a better & brighter image compared to DLP-Link. I personally bought an emitter and pair of glasses which are fantastic to watch 3D through.If I've missed anything let me know,Kind RegardsCarlos Thrasy

Thank you so much Hassan for taking the time to answer my question. This TV you can watch 3D while another person can watch in 2D wearing glasses. It comes with 2 pair. Again, thank you.

Some games have it in the settings but for most you need to change your TV 3d Settings (LG has this setting) not sure if others do. It should be under Dual Play

In order to use 3D on this 3D ready projector, you need to purchase a 3D converter from either Optoma or Viewsonic. Plus you'll need active shutter glasses. I bought both from e-bay for a good price. The glasses seamlessly connect to the projector wirelessly. The converter just requires plugging an extra hdmi cable into.

You can use in 2d and show anything unless its formatted for 3d. It shows normal hd channels in great picture do not need glasses unless you choose to upscale to 3d

Yes, that is true! i have this projector at 1 year ago with 2 viewsonic active shutter glasses and a PS3 320Gb (move) with the last fw 3.56 for 3D support and NEVER, "NEVER" can see in 3D... grrrrrr!!! i do try softwares to generate 3D with the laptop like Tridef, etc with no lucky... i am an experimented technical user and reading a lot about this think the last thing to do is wait the last presentation of Viewsonic, the VP3D1 3D converter box to use with the projector... is the same of the Optoma 3D-XL, but i hope the VP3D1 are cheapest!sorry my bad english! :)

Active 3D glasses. I purchased the Sain Sonics because they were a reasonable price. The brand hasn't seemed to make a difference in function. The big thing to know is that you require a 3D converter to make the projector visible to the blu-ray player. They run about $200 from Optoma and Viewsonic. Totally worth it though because it's still less than an actual 3D projector, running over a thousand dollars.

I think these 3d glasses will be compatible with Optoma W316. The Optoma is a DLP projector and the glasses are DLP Link type. You will not be able to enjoy full HD 3d, however, as the projector is WXGA, not native 1080p. If you buy both the glasses and the projector from Amazon and they aren't compatible, you should be able to return the glasses for a full refund. The first pair of glasses I bought were not DLP Link compatible; they were for an LCD projector instead and I had a DLP projector from Viewsonic. Fortunately Amazon took the glasses back and gave me a full refund. Good luck and I hope this is helpful. I think these 3d glasses will be compatible with Optoma W316.

Under settings, go into "Picture and Display", then select "3d Settings". Turn on "3d display" and then select the "Simulated 3d" option.I can't comment on good the effect is as I am still waiting on my 3d glasses to come in. Supposedly the best glasses are the PlayStation branded glasses.

Not completely sure. I hardly have used the 3D feature. I don't remember any switching and I believe I don't have a simulated 3D. I know my other Sony TV does have that feature.

Yes the tv allows for both viewing modes. I watch non 3D the majority of the time. Great tv by the way. I love mine.

At this point I cannot recommend these glasses over now existing products. I would checkout Nvidia's 3D Vision instead. Though to answer your question, these glasses have an adapter for a VGA/DSub monitor output (meaning no DVI/HDMI) that acts as a mediator giving a passthrough to your monitor and a syncing signal for the glasses to sync to the monitor refresh. And as mentioned in my review, you need to be careful with using these polarized filter glasses on LCD monitors (which also are polarized), as you'll likely get a very dark or no picture at all. However, either way, you need an external monitor to make it work, these glasses only blank out each eye at one time to sync each eyes view to the proper perspectives frame, they are not video monitors themselves.

The glasses don't have to be connected. Each glass opens and closes one of the eyes very fast (you won't notice) and this is how the 3D picture is made. Best is to check youtube with the words "3d shutter glasses" you'll find a bunch of videos explaining to you.Also the amount of people watching isn't important, since the glasses aren't connected with the TV. I also have a Samsung TV and they work fine. Just remember you have to charge them before watching a movie.

I did correspond with a person at Dimensional Optics and they were great to deal with! We ended up buying the glasses and have used them with success. Now if only we can figure out how to watch actual 3D discs through the Playstation, not just 2D --> 3D. We are happy with them though - definitely as good as the Samsung ones we tried.

If you have a 3d DVD player and a 3d capable projector you would beable to watch a 3d movie. Of course you would have to wear compatible 3d glasses to view the movie.
