New Optoma HD33 HD3300 1080p 3D Projector Review - Page 6

Yes - 3D mode can be optionally setup as DLP-Link. It is in the 1st page of this thread - and also confirmed from the user manual.

I think you're going to see rainbows with any DLP projector on a Silverstar...

it can, but why on gods earth would you want to? unless you already have the glasses, then i could understand, but i really haven't read one good thing about them. plus this comes with the rf emitter and I'm pretty sure these glasses will work.

and even if they don't work. you could get the glasses with the rf emitter made to replace the nvidia vision and all it needs is a cable to use the rf emitter with this projector and from talking with the prerson there, they said they will get that. so now you can get two glasses and an emitter if needed for likely less than those crappy dlp link glasses.

Well...here may your first !

I was super impressed with the Optomoa DLP-link glasses that came with 3DXL and went ahead and ordered a second pair for $60. I am impressed because they are big (good for giving you complete immersion and also if you wear prescription glasses) and are was very surprised that they were super bright and comfortable with changeable nose pieces. They work extremely well with HD66 DLP projector with ZERO ghosting and rarely lose sync (when the scenes are very bright)...my only gripe is they are not rechargeable.

other glasses i tried are Panasonic IR glasses which always lost sync and very tight when worn on my prescription glasses. I also bought the one you show in the above link and found them to be way too dark, very small and have terrible ghosting and i promptly returned everything and bought the HD66 instead and couldn't be happier with 3D (except of course the 1080 is missing)

I read somewhere that DLP-link will washout blacks and I proved to myself that this is false information. To do this i switched the HD66 to Nvidia mode and i saw the darkness/brightness was same as when I put it in DLP-link and adorned the glasses (ofcourse DLP link looks washed out without glasses due to the white sync frame they insert...which goes away when the glasses are on).

I just called Mike at AVS. You might be surprised about the good pricing on the Optoma HD3300. They may even do a pre-order.

What is it ? BTW, how do you reach Mike ?

Are you claiming dlp link glasses are "crappy" compared to the one you have linked to because of personal experience or are you repeating someone else' oponion as fact ?

falafala above atleast seems to have actually tried both. So, I would place more trust on his report.

Thanks, will call him soon myself. The warranty extension alone is worth it. I was unaware that AVS sold Optoma's "CEDIA dealers only" units.

As for the dlp-link versus ir debate, here's my personal experience. I have an Acer H5360 and initially purchased the ultra-clear dlp link glasses. For some reason, I just felt that the image looked a little flat. It doesn't look washed out, but just didn't pop. I then purchased the ultra-clear ir glasses. I could instantly notice more pop. The amount of pop was more like it was in 2d.

This is just my experience with that specific hardware/glasses. One thing that could be causing this is that dlp link will cause a lot of light to bounce around in your room. If you put up an all black screen, it will still be very bright. The glasses will remove a lot of that light, but not all of it, as some may be bouncing back on the screen due to room reflections. I can even see reflections off the frame of the glasses in dark scenes.

I wouldn't say dlp link looks bad. In my specific experience, I just feltl that I was getting cheated of the full contrast potential of the projector.

based on every review i've seen, only dlp link glasses that rated well are the ones that are 400 dollars.

plus RF doesn't lose sync. as I said, if you already own them, it would be viable, but buying them instead of using rflink glasses seems not the best option to me.

That is not what I've read. Infact almost all posts I've read say PQ on dlp link is better.

I was not considering the RF because of the price. The one you linked doesn't work with HD33, right ? falafala above says his impression was the opposite of what you are saying ...

ps : Look at this thread for eg. http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showt...8#post19393478

The "poll" got 16 for DLP 4 for IR.

I am planning of upgrading my HD65 to HD3300. Besides upgrading the HDMI 1.4 cable do I need to get a specific screen for 3D to get a 3D effect?

Thanks

We are authorized and expect to have pricing tomorrow. As soon as we receive, Mike or I will post some numbers for you guys or at least give you guys a heads up to call either of us to get price.

Benito,

Let us also know whether you guys plan to sell HD33 too. One more thing - what do you expect to be the shipment time ?

I started my DLP journey with a Davis-450 from Alan a decade back !

That's something, my first digital was also a Davis 650. That's what brought me to AVS 11 years ago!

It depends on players...Samsung 6700 does a decent job, Panasonic DMP-BDT310 is really bad.

But nothing like the real 3D stuff....

have fun !

Here is a first look from The Art of Home Theater Projectors site.

I actually low ceiling mount/high shelf mount with a High Power and a dlp with no lens shift. I like it better than low table mount because all the light isn't hitting the ground. I was doing this with a Mitsubishi HC4000, which has a larger offset than this pj. High Power ceiling mount works very well if you are willing to drop your screen low to the ground.
