GT750 Thread, HDMI 1.4 Capable - Page 3

can anyone else comment on this? maybe its a problem with the glasses? I mean I've seen things pop out at me when watching dvd movies with red/green glasses. so I can't imagine that it wouldn't work well on a 720p projector. i'm buying it mostly for 3d. don't want to spend double the price if not necessary.

Depends on your use the 720p projector might be the better option

For my use it's
console games (99.9% are 720p or less)
HDTV Channels (most are 720p, i don't know of any that's 1080p)
Streaming movies 720p for me most of the time

Only case where i want a 1080p is when i watch bluray movies but i rather watch 720p blurays with good color/brightness over cheap dim 1080p entry level so not sure if it's worth the sacrifice for my use when contain 1% 1080p usage

Others who watch 1080p matrial most of the time though getting 1080p projector is obvious

After all optoma marketing GT750E as a gaming device, being short view (Wont break motion gaming like other projectors) and 720p is perfect for consoles

It's night and day on the right projector. My JVC RS40 is night and day compared to a Panasonic ae4000. But a 1080p projector in its price range is not night and day. I use my 720p projector 85% of the time compared to my 1080p projector. 720p projectors are cheaper, brighter, longer lamp life, and most content is in 720p.

I laugh at your 720p consoles, ha ha.

Popular games even got less resolution than 720p lol like call of duty and halo run at things like 600p, the wii is not even 720p but still SD 480p resolution

1080p = heaven for PC gamers/bluray movies

well the main issue is 3d, if its working much better on another projector that is 1080p, then its worth the extra money.

not sure how this is really the case though as I understand the 3d isn't actually 1080p.

be interesting to see when people get this projector if it actually has good 3d performance.

just checking the throw distances, this definately would work better for me than the hd33. so hopefully someone gets one and can comment on the 3d soon. i can't really imagine things not popping out at you in 720p and popping out at 1080p especially when cheap anaglyph movies pop out at you.

Doesn't really matter, if you play native 1080p 3D it will look better and sharper (bluray movies) but 720p 3d videos downloaded/streamed/ PS3 gaming 3D wont be as sharp as 1080p native content.

If you don't have the money to put into a pc, there is no reason to not go the 720p route. Even though a pc with 1080p 3D will look much better, it will add to the cost. The cheapest 1080p 3D projector is almost double the GT750, then a good gaming pc will be at least the price of the GT750. Me personally, I'm gradually building a pc that is powerful enough for 4K. Everything is going to look amazing.

i think you guys are missing the part where someone said that 720P projector didn't have any pop on 3d but the 1080p projector did. doesn't make much sense to me either as unless he is just comparing 1080p bluray material, it wouldn't make a difference. but certainly I don't want to spend the money for this projector and have crappy 3d.

That's stupid, I have both 1080p JVC RS40 and a 720p Optoma GT720. My Optoma is bright but doesn't show as good as 1080p material just like anything 720p to 1080p.

right but the issue is the 3d performance.

I don't understand what you mean? It's just 720p vs 1080p, just like any other projector. Both would work the same, one would just have a higher resolution

see post 60 on this thread.

No reviews yet on the GT750e?

are these out yet at local stores? i'd love to find a store like best buy or something that had one running. or at least a place that i could buy it from and ship it back if I don't like the 3d aspect of it.

There's a review at Amazon now that's very positive: http://www.amazon.com/Optomas-GT750E...owViewpoints=1

i saw it earlier, wish they said more about the 3d though.

" What's in the Box

This package includes the Optoma GT750E projector, one remote control with batteries, RF emitter for 3D glasses, one composite video cable, one lens cap, an A/C power cord, multilingual CD-ROM user's manual, quick-start card and warranty card."


does it really come with the emitter? how awesome would it be if that emitter works with the 45 dollar glasses from 3dtv corp?

Exactly what I was thinking. Apparently all these are Bit Couldron glasses & emitters. Chances are good that they will work together ... if someone who has nvidia / 3dtvcorp glasses already can checkout, that would be great.

BTW, this is the response I got from 3dtvcorp ...

well i looked at the manual, it says rf emitter is optional, but on the site it says it is in the box. would be interesting to see if it doesn't come in the box if we could force optoma to send it for free.

Atleast HD33/3300 buyers are reporting getting the emitter with the projector.

Maybe the E they added stands for emitter?

I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on this. $800 is a lot of money, but not compared to $1500. I changed the resolution on my monitor to 1280x800 and it looks workable. I also just bought a PS3/Move bundle for working out, so the short throw might be good for that in my new place.

Being able to see the screen door effect is one of my main concerns, but I think someone mentioned it's not really noticeable. When I did the Qumi and D538-3D demo at Vivitek I remember only being able to see the screen door effect when you're up really close. I guess it will depend on the screen size. I move on the 24th, and I was thinking maybe I should wait to check the dimensions for short vs long throw, but I think I will need the short throw to be able to use the Playstation Move, since you have to stand and wave your arms around.

In a year or so there will probably be 1080 projectors like this for $800 or less.

Well, I ended up ordering the thing from Amazon.

Is 3DTVCorp the best (and most inexpensive) place to get a pair of 3D glasses from?

i thought amazon was out of stock, they were last night when i looked.

anyway, 3dtv corp is the cheapest, they have the rf kit with emitter and glasses. but it really depends, if this thing comes with the emitter already, then i'd be more inclined to just find cheap optoma glasses.

if it doesn't come with the emitter, then the RF emitter and 3dtv corp glasses would probably be a good bet, but you need to make sure he includes the vesa cable for the RF emitter that he said he would include when I emailed him previously. Since this RF kit was originally made for computers, it comes with usb cable.

Do check the HD33 thread. There are reports of dlp-link vs rf glasses. For the extra money, rf glasses may not be worth it.

provide some links then, I'll be happy to read, but that thread is getting very big and I have no time to read it.

i did take quick look and my original reservations still stand. still talking about eyes getting out of sync. RF should be synce and if its coming with the emitter. seems like a no brainer, plus rf glasses are supposed to be lighter especially if you sitting for 6 hours.

yea, I don't put a lot of stock in the sole person that says 3d sucks on 720p projectors. optoma provides you with an RF emiiter, why do you think that might be? i'm guessing because RF is better than DLP link but what the heck do I know. I'm also betting that with some light in the room, that dlp is going to go to crap quickly.

I've looked high and low and can't find any more reviews on the net, I was hoping for something in another language.

I found one person claiming that it could do a 120 inch image from 6 feet away. Went to the web site and it seems to be the case.

Anyone have information on cost of replacement bulbs, all I could find was off Pcentral specs

The price for a GT720 replacement seems to be around $200 on the net, would the 750 be about the same?
