Does this projector work well with the new update PS3?
1956937
anybody? nobody knows? What I am planning is to use my ps3 to play a 3d bluray bypass the signal through my denon avr receiver with PURE DIRECT AND let the hdmi cable connect to the projector. I know that it might not work otherwise there would not be any use for the 3D XL adapter that is coming in january. I would like to know if it will work this other way. A pc with all harware and software required for 3d bluray playback, then send the signal to my receiver with PURE DIRECT to get the audio and then send the signal through hdmi to mi projector. Will this setting work? I'm planning on buying the nvidia 3d vison kit. I would REALLY appreciate any input.

I'd also like to know if this is compatible with the PS3. I've googled it but I've found different views on this. Thanks!

Even I am looking for a similar answer. Please let me know if this or some other one that particularly works with PS3. Thanks

Curious if the PS3 has been updated to be able to play the 3d without the convertor?

I bought my projector about 6 months ago and have done nothing to upgrade the firmware. The projector has run beautifully since I've had it with no firmware updates. You can see my review of the product on Amazon. I think the firmware concerns were with the models produced late 2011 and early 2012. You should be good now unless you get an older model or unless some new problem has cropped since I last checked.

I've only ever played EA sports football and basketball games on ps3 on it. It drops back down to 720 even with the hdmi cable. The sound is amazing, the picture is better than most, but I won't tell you it's the best I've seen. 8 out of 10.

Yes, I am very happy with the projector. It comes with a remote and the remote works very well.

Yes I believe so I hooked up a ps4 to mine and all I did was run a long hdmi cable to mine and then ran the audio off of the fiber optic port on my receiver for sound. The sound will play through the projector itself if you just use an hdmi cord

im thinking of buying it too, I already have the surround sound system and ps3 but am wondering how to hook up the sound for the ps3. Easy enough for the cable. run the audio cables from the DVR to the surround sound and the HDMI cable to the projector. But the ps3? Ok i run the HDMI from the ps3 to the projector...but if there isnt an audio out how do i get the sound from the ps3 to the surround sound?

I do not have a PS3, but I use the Optoma ZD101 DLP link active 3D glasses. my review explaine how I got the 3D to work.

I'm not much of a gamer, but I have used this console to play with my PS3. I have nothing negative to say about this projector. Just so you know, it will not display in 1080p, the best resolution you will get is 720p. It supports 1080p but the screen will scale the image to 720p. Still pretty good definition IMO. Hope it helps.

I know this is old, but I have to disagree; of the models discussed here, only THIS one will handle "high-def" (uncompressed) surround sound from the PS3. The Sony that Knowledge Forest posted has no HDMI inputs; its HDMI output is for the DVD changer only. The Yamaha & Onkyo you suggested have only "pass-thru" HDMI inputs, which merely pass the sound from the HDMI input on to the TV. For all three, the only way to get surround sound to the receiver is by digital optical/coax cables, which handle only DVD-quality surround sound (uncompressed LPCM 2.0 or lossy-compression DD 5.1 & DTS 5.1/6.1)--*not* the newest, lossless HD audio formats (LPCM, Dolby TrueHD or DTS-HD Master Audio, all at up to 7.1) on Blu-rays & PS3 games. The HT-SS2300 (as well as its predecessor HT-SS2000 and successor HT-SS360), however, will receive high-def LPCM sound over the HDMI connection; that's exactly what the PS3 outputs over HDMI from DVDs, PS3 games & especially Blu-rays. The PS3 will decode all the HD formats and send them to this receiver as LPCM 5.1. Thus, this model should produce BETTER sound than the others discussed earlier. To get HD sound from a current Yamaha or Onkyo model, you'd have to upgrade to a more expensive receiver that can actually decode TrueHD or DTS-HD MA; but that's totally useless for the PS3 (though not for the newest high-end Blu-ray players). Since the PS3 came out before HDMI 1.3, it cannot bitstream those formats; it only decodes them to LPCM. However, since TrueHD & DTS-HD MA are merely "lossless" compression (like a Zip file) of the original LPCM, you still get the same HD sound; you just won't see a Dolby or DTS light on your receiver. (To see the logo on your TV screen, press the "Display" button on the PS3 Bluetooth remote.) For PS3 owners, this is the BEST home theater system out there for the money, unless you need fancier speakers or other special features.

I've been using it for gaming on Xbox 360, Xbox One, etc and have noticed zero input lag. Getting used to the new size of the screen you will be playing on is a bit tricky at first but I have no complaints about it (thus far--had it since November 2013). Its an awesome projector.

Great projector for the money, and it can connect to your gaming system with an HDMI cable. As far as wireless goes, it's OK, but you'll need to buy the BenQ wireless dongle. The wireless works well for doing presentations, but not so much for gaming. Here's the link. BenQ 5J.J3F28.A01 Wireless Dongle, Black

I use it in 1080 with my ps3, no problems at all. Haven't tried in other resolutions. Hope this helps you out.

thanks. I ordered the projector. I also ordered a surround sound home theater system that I will hook up to my playstation 3 for audio. I'm excited. It is going to suck hooking all this stuff up though!
