(sigh) I've sent an email to Nvidia telling them I'd be willing to pay for a supported driver if optoma won't pony up for it. I saved 40 bucks over the Acer and have a much more tweakable image and a considerably longer bulb life. BTW, there is a known issue with the H5360 reverting to bright mode on it's own resulting in far less bulb life. It was a great idea in theory but horribly executed on acers part. Their support is completely nonexistent, you have to PAY for support even on new products! Ridiculous.

Wow, it's pretty shocking to see how your viewpoint has changed. Did you ever try have the source turned on first, like that one dude was talking about?
It's a 3000 lumen 3d projector that has nvidia support (kind of). I bought it after checking nvidias website for other supported projectors b/c I really like nvidia's setup. Unfortunately, with unsupported projectors you can't get recent games to work well. Plus, 3d blu ray support is just around the corner and anything supported by Nvidia for vision will be supported for 3d blu ray (with certain hardware minimum requirements). This projector has a great, bright picture, good colors, little to no rainbow effect. A normal remote control that works all the time (and has a laser pointer which the 12 year old in me loves). it has quite a few inputs, is quiet, and doesn't revert to non economy mode like the craptastic acer did. And get this....a 6000 hour life bulb!!! That's double to triple the Acers is! it has lots of tweakable color settings unlike the acer and though it's contrast ratio is the same as the acer I can play dark games with very good greys instead of black and black. I'm very happy with this projector and my only complaint with it sofar has nothing to do with the projector itself. Soon after recieving it I installed nvidias drivers only to find out that their most recent beta driver is buggy with this particular model and won't recognize it. However, I spoke with nvidia and they assured me the fix was on the way and since all other projectors are supported with 3dbr I am comfortable that this one will to. Especially since the Acer is...I do wish I would have known about the ceiling mount fix with the acer before i'd returned it but this one works just like a champ in any way it's placed. I'm keepin it... whew! Amazon must HATE me.
