Lots of 3d tweaking options, works quite well.

So I rip to full-SBS.

My question is, is anyone else playing this on the 7000? And what are your thoughts? Any tweaks?

I see ghosting in Sonic Generations as well. Motorstorm is pretty much perfect and most of the movies I've watched in 3D have been ghosting/crosstalk free. So I think it is just certain games that have this problem.

I just realized the fan actually might work quite well as a hair dryer...

I think this is more the source than the 7000 itself. I tried playing with a bunch of things, brightness, contrast, lightness of the glasses, everything, and could not smooth it out.

IT did seem to diminish later in the game though.

I used the 3d on and off as I found it was causing me some eye strain in the darker scene, that and the visual quality pales in comparison to the 2d. Once I finished it I went back to some of the bigger action scenes to play them in 3d for fun.

My experience with 3d in games has been really hit and miss thus far. Motorstorm is fantastic, resistance 3 and Killzone suffer the same way UC3 does, the quality hit is substantial, you can see jagged edges everywhere and distant items / enemies look pretty rough.

I am guessing the PS4 is going to rectify this, I am hedging my bets on the PS4 supporting full 1080p resolution 3d, until then the experience may be pretty sub par at times.

Here is a list of games I've tried on the 7000 so far:

UC3: Again, decent but lots of ghosting

Motorstorm Rift and Apocalypse: Best 3D games period...........amazing

Sonic Generations: Pretty good 3D, fun game, a tiny bit of ghosting

Gears of War 3: Decent 3D, resolution takes a big hit though

Batman Arkham City: 3D didn't really add anything to the game, plus it's pretty dark

By far the best 3D game is the Motorstorm series. They look great and are super enjoyable in 3D. It's almost worth 3D just for those games.

I have a denon 2311 and a panasonic bluray + a pc.

When i watch a bluray from the panasonic bluray player everything is ok.

But then when a watch a movie (matroska 1080p) from my pc i have a problem with the frame rate (once in a while) like drops.The strange thing is that when i see the movie in a "window" it is ok but when i switch in full screen mode i have the problem.Also when i double click and go to full screen the projector turns black and then opens again (like it is changing the input, is it normal?)

I have tryied both media player and vlc.My display settings are 1920x1080 at 60hz.

ANY THOUGHTS?

1) What is the best audio delay time is for the different frame creation modes?
2) Can I set my PC that's hooked up to the projector to run at 120hz?

Whatever settings i am using in FIR (Off or Mode 1) it is the same.

My display settings are 1920x1080 at 60hz, i tried to change it at 50hz but once in a while i still have the same problem (frame drops or something).I also used 23hz which is better in video but is it ok?I never before had the same problem with my previous projector.And from what i checked last night when i have my pj and tv turned on the tv is ok in the same scenes that i get the problem to the pj.

I wonder if some peoples tolerance to noise is just much less than me, or if some of the 7000's have some sort of problem.

This Is unlike a plasma or LCD tv which controls the black level in a closed environment.

There will always be room for improvement but not like from model to model a few years ago.

The screen is indeed gray and I don't have a problem with that, it improves contrast and blacks are blacker. But shouldn't high reflectivity improve brightness?

(Note I have a poor choice of screens available where I live, this is the only one I was able to find that was almost immediately available and over 1.0.)
