Thanks XXXXXX for your inquiry. 3D Gamer should work with all DLP 120Hz projectors and televisions. Unfortunately, we did not get to test it on Panasonic AE4000. However, having looked at the specs, I don’t think 3D-Gamer is compatible with this projector – no mention of 120Hz compatibility.



We do have another product, 3D-Displayer, that will work with games/movies via PS3 and any other 3D-Blu Ray player and can be connected to all 60Hz/120Hz displays. The product is on our website.

Do write again if I can address additional questions. You may click on the Facebook icon on the website and download the flyer on 3D-Displayer with specs.



Thanks & Cheers!

I'm getting my 3d theater tomorrow or Tuesday, and I will be looking specifically at two things with my garden variety 60hz Viewsonic pro8100, the amount of flicker, and if brightness is adequate with a typical brightness projector.

Looking forward to your review regarding the flicker and brightness issues. I'm more concerned with flicker as I own a DaLite 2.8 so brightness won't be a big of an issue with me.

I'm more concerned if 60Hz LCD PJ will work and if they do how much of flicker
there is.


Thanks for the reply.

It's a very interesting device.

Cheeseburger reported success with his 60hz LCD projector so I'm hoping for the best.

Personally I'd buy a 120hz 720p DLP for $500 to $800 and one of the VIP products and hookup a 3D BD player to it and away you go - a solid 3D image with no ghosting or flicker. Right now DLP wins when comes to a "ghost free" image and price.

The advantage for VIP product is for those using existing 2D display and can tolerate 60hz 3D. Do I get eye strain watching movie? I found out it depends on the movie. If there is too much pop out effect, you might get eye strain and try not to focus on blurry object because no matter how hard you try, it will never focus as the director had set the lens to focus on object they want you to see.

VIP is located in Palm Beach Gardens, FL so why do we (USA) have to buy it from a Canada website ?

I don't understand...will someone explain to me what is going on here or am I missing something ?

Contact Jonathan at VIP directly. They are taking orders via paypal & shipping in the order received.

Are you stating this as an opinion or fact. The theaters use a polarity rotator
in front of the projector which allows the use of passive glasses whereas the
DLP link glasses are the active element to blank the video. Both schemes are sequential. Different methods to achieve the same result. Ideally the superior scheme would be true cinema stereoscopic mode.

Thanks,

Okay, finally had a chance to play with the Theatre.

I have scanned about 500 stereo slides into my home office PC and was looking forward to have the Theatre allow me to view them in all their glory on my i-inc 28" LCD PC monitor (yes, it's huge). I set the monitor resolution to 720p and I hooked the module up, usb and emitter. Powered up no issues. I then downloaded the IZ3D driver to test it out. Had several issues getting the driver to work. I tried both 720p and 1080i. Both worked with little difference in the image. Only could get the side by side working with some slight ghosting, however the flicker was unbearable so I uninstalled the IZ3D driver. I then downloaded the nvidia 3D vision player since I have an nvidia display card. That loaded fine and it easily went into 3D mode, but I could not get the Theatre to recognize it no matter what I did, flipping dip switches, pushing p1 button, unplugging resyncing,etc. It would show a skewed 3D image at best. I uninstalled that and downloaded the free trial of Tridef 3D player. It installed okay, and I selected parallel (side by side) mode since all my slides are in MPO format. It worked, but it insisted on stretching the slide to fill the screen--couldn't get that fixed. That said, the 3D image was dark with some ghosting, and the flicker again unbearable--sooo I gave up on seeing 3D slides on my PC. (I must add, that I am able to do this just fine on my ACER 5360 120hz 3D with tridef running and dlplink mode (no Theatre attached).

Another reason I bought the VIP Theatre was to watch 3D on our 55" 60hz LCD in the living room. Again I hooked everything up, switched to the xfinity 3D comcast channel, and after a few seconds I had the 3D image syncing, but with lots of eye flopping and ghosting. Again the flicker was really unbearable to me and with the ghosting the 3D was sub par. I then switched to HBO 3D Avatar On Demand. It appeared somewhat better with less ghosting, but with the flicker and ghosting, I found it unwatchable as well. Sooo I unhooked everything and put it on my desk.

Later this evening, I will hook it up to cable on my ACER 5360 at 120hz dlplink and see what it does on my 144" screen.

I also want to test it on my Mits HC3800 1080p projector, but I'm having the bulb changed, so it will take a while...

So far, I'm disappointed. I'm not saying you will be, just that for me 60hz is way subpar on the devices I've checked so far.

I thought the purpose of the VIP displayer & theater was to allow 3D viewing from NON-3D equipment but I keep seeing posts from folks getting one that already have a 3D capable projector, for just an example an Optoma 66. WHY? What am I missing? Is it to convert 2D content to 3D or ???
