Optoma HD66: Will this work with this product or am I forced to wait for the 3D-Xl that is $500?

The mitsubishi adapter will not work.The options currently are Optoma 3d-xl ,viewsonic vp3d1,vip theater. I've seen the optoma for low as $300 with 1 pair of glasses and the viewsonic for $250 the vip is more expensive.

it has 2 hdmi imputs and one hdmi output so it should work. well sorta lol. this device doesn't give that great of a 3d effect. I returned mine. the colors are so messed up that it is distracting. And after wearing those glasses for a while it "stains" your vision so for 20 mins or more after wearing them, everywhere you look everything is colored with the same colors of the glasses. Check and see if your projector supports 3d. It might. You would be much better off going that route.

I ran into the issue of my Yamaha receiver not being 3D compatible. I had to run the HDMI directly to the projector and use a fiber optic cable from the player to the receiver for the sound. However, I have a 7.1 system and fiber optics only supports 5.1 so I am going to get a passive splitter that supports 3D to send an HDMI signal to both devices. If you don't have a receiver, you will need to get one if you want to get sound out to external speakers as there is no pass through on this device.

I have never used the 3D. It works GREAT in HD. One caveat: You do NOT want to view it in a well-lit room. You need blinds on your windows. I have it in my bedroom and it works GREAT. Think of the environment you'd want if you were watching a slide show or 8mm home movie on a projector screen.

Maybe.. But unlikely. Samsung went to a Bluethooth connection for their active glasses. Optoma does not use Bluethooth. Prior to 2011 Samsung used an IR emitter. These type MIGHT work but I doubt it. The ones you want for this projector need to be DLP link. Good news is I have had a lot of luck with cheap ebay DLP link glasses. Most come direct from Hong Kong and have worked awesome for me and we're under $35 each and even under $25 for the small kids ones.

If you plan on using a 3D source (TV 3D, BluRay 3D etc) then you will need a 3D enabled/ready amp. Almost anything made in 2013 and above $300 will have what you need (again make sure "3D ready"). I love my onkyo's TX-NR414 & 717

The ViewSonic PJD7820HD is a DLP Projector using DLPLink and these glasses do support that. I use these with my Optoma DLP projector and quite happy with them. I have 4 pair, one that I use quite a lot playing MLB The Show 3D on PS3 (many hours) and I have only had to recharge this pair once in 2 months. The others have been used for 2-3 movies on the initial charge. They automatically power off when the 3D signal goes off.

I honestly can't remember how I got them to work. I think there is an option in the Optoma menus that state what mode of 3D to use. I happened to find DLP Link was one of the options, but this was after about an hour of messing around with it. To be completely honest I sent these glasses back because of the comfort issue. I ended up going with a model from Quantum. Much more comfortable, and I don't feel like I'm looking under them. Once you get the projector set up properly you won't need to mess with it anymore. 2D movies will play normally and it will automatically go back to DLP Link when it detects a 3D signal. After you get the projector into DLP Link mode, keep in mind there is an 'invert mode' some movies you may need to press the power button once or twice to flip between modes, otherwise the picture looks funny. I can't explain it, but you will probably recognize it when you see it. It's like instead of projecting out towards you it's projecting in away from you. Good luck getting it set up. Again it took me awhile to figure it out, but hopefully you will have better luck.

anybody? nobody knows? What I am planning is to use my ps3 to play a 3d bluray bypass the signal through my denon avr receiver with PURE DIRECT AND let the hdmi cable connect to the projector. I know that it might not work otherwise there would not be any use for the 3D XL adapter that is coming in january. I would like to know if it will work this other way. A pc with all harware and software required for 3d bluray playback, then send the signal to my receiver with PURE DIRECT to get the audio and then send the signal through hdmi to mi projector. Will this setting work? I'm planning on buying the nvidia 3d vison kit. I would REALLY appreciate any input.

D. Reese,Thanks for the feedback. I more than appreciate it!I decided not to purchase the UN55B8500. I agree, 3D is worth waiting for. I saw the demo at Best Buy, and I must say, I'm pretty impressed. One a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being the best), I would put the 3D experience in at about a 7 or an 8. I wasn't completely blown away, however, I was impressed enough to wait until the UN55C8000. Plus, with the free 3D Starter Kit with the purchase of the 3D TV and the 3D Blu-Ray player, I really think it makes sense to go with the 3D option. The sales guy at Best Buy said the free 3D Starter Kit promotion starts on 3/21/2010, and that the UN55C8000 should be available in early April.Thanks! D. Reese,Thanks for the feedback.

Yup these guys already stated it right. I have the HD33 and two sets of MonsterVision Max 3D glasses. They work great. My only issue has been keeping them charged. I think that is only cause I rarely watch things in 3D but when I do it is amazing!! MonsterVision Max 3D Eyewear System with Active Sync - Glasses and Transmitterer Kit for Active 3D

I'm deciding between the same thing, and I have chosen to plan on buying the VT25 over the GT25 because it has deeper blacks and apparently (I still need to ask around more about this) has true 24p Cinematic Playback, which is very important to me, I'm a cinema snob. The VT25 also has like one additional HDMI port or something, which really does not matter. The one thing I hear that the GT25 has over the VT25 is the ability to convert 2D to 3D (as best it can I guess). I really don't care about that, though. If it wasn't intended to be in 3D, then why would I want to do a cheap conversion on it? I suppose it could be cool, but I'm just not interested in that. I just want to see things in the best way they were intended to be seen. I am waiting for a price drop for the VT25, that's just way too expensive at the moment.

Dear Dianne,Thank you for your question regarding the Optoma HD25. Of course you will need 3D glasses. There are 2 types that you can use. There is the Optoma DLP Link Glasses and the Optoma RF Glasses. If you use the DLP Link Glasses then you will be set to go. If you choose the RF Glasses, then you will need the optional 3D RF Emitter. I hope I have answered your question satisfactorily. Feel free to contact us anytime. Thanks so much! Charlotte

I haven't seen the BenQ W1070, but from what I've heard they sound similar in many ways, each with their pros and cons. I should add her that I just bought a BenQ 7000. If you have the cash I would highly recommend going that route. If not then I'm sure you'll be very happy with the HD33. I have been.

This unit has a HDMI cable that is 3D compatible. There is no difference otherwise. A Sony qualified 3D HDMI Cable is about $30.

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

Yes indeed. 3D confirmed with my Panasonic 3D Plasma. No hands-on experience with the 4K part, though.
