Can any one tell me how to setup 3d? I bought D Link 3d glasses and I have HDMI cable to connect my laptop to Projector

Do you have the 3D receiver (http://www.amazon.com/Optoma-Technology-BG-BC100-3D-Emitter/dp/B005FQPHAM/ref=pd_sim_e_15) attached to the projector, it should blink red when you play 2D content, it should blink BLUE when you play 3D content, the glasses after charge will connect to the receiver automatically when it is in range.

Just DLP link 3D glasses needed. I use mine with it just being hooked up to an antenna. No adaptor and no transmitter. Very simple. Love this projector.

You shud be able to, any 3D source shud work. In May case I have a PS3 that sends 3D thru my receiver over hdmi, but that's not necessary.

I honestly can't remember how I got them to work. I think there is an option in the Optoma menus that state what mode of 3D to use. I happened to find DLP Link was one of the options, but this was after about an hour of messing around with it. To be completely honest I sent these glasses back because of the comfort issue. I ended up going with a model from Quantum. Much more comfortable, and I don't feel like I'm looking under them. Once you get the projector set up properly you won't need to mess with it anymore. 2D movies will play normally and it will automatically go back to DLP Link when it detects a 3D signal. After you get the projector into DLP Link mode, keep in mind there is an 'invert mode' some movies you may need to press the power button once or twice to flip between modes, otherwise the picture looks funny. I can't explain it, but you will probably recognize it when you see it. It's like instead of projecting out towards you it's projecting in away from you. Good luck getting it set up. Again it took me awhile to figure it out, but hopefully you will have better luck.

I haven't used the 3d function yet...will look in the manual and see what it says

A non 3D laptop will display the same picture to both eyes even with Real 3D glasses thats why they will not work

The best thing to do is to bug a 3D player and connect the player on a 3D projector/TV e.g. Epson PowerLite. and play a 3D ready movie (don't forget to wear your 3D glasses). any other combinations except above may not be the same, in other words, not the best thing.

I use PC with AMD Radeon 3D. Just hook to PC with HDMI cable. 3D looks amazing!

In order to use 3D on this 3D ready projector, you need to purchase a 3D converter from either Optoma or Viewsonic. Plus you'll need active shutter glasses. I bought both from e-bay for a good price. The glasses seamlessly connect to the projector wirelessly. The converter just requires plugging an extra hdmi cable into.

I have not used the 3d feature, but projector is good. I am using for a golf simulator, so not on the best screen, but picture looks good.

While I have not done that setup myself, it should still work. Just keep in mind, in my opinion, the 3D conversion feels a little off. Playing an actual 3D source through it works great though.

You should have no problems. I use mt tablet & my computer. You will just have to tweek the projector settings for your 3D.

Under settings, go into "Picture and Display", then select "3d Settings". Turn on "3d display" and then select the "Simulated 3d" option.I can't comment on good the effect is as I am still waiting on my 3d glasses to come in. Supposedly the best glasses are the PlayStation branded glasses.

it has 2 hdmi imputs and one hdmi output so it should work. well sorta lol. this device doesn't give that great of a 3d effect. I returned mine. the colors are so messed up that it is distracting. And after wearing those glasses for a while it "stains" your vision so for 20 mins or more after wearing them, everywhere you look everything is colored with the same colors of the glasses. Check and see if your projector supports 3d. It might. You would be much better off going that route.

Amke sure your device is plugged into the projector with HDMI. Using the remote control, select 3D. Then pick which mode (side by side most likely) and turn on your glasses.

I've read elsewhere that it requires a 3D source, the projector, and 3D glasses (the active-shutter type, IIRC). When the projector detects the glasses, the otherwise grayed-out menu choices become selectable. I would guess it also takes twice the bandwidth of 2D high-def, or 20Mbps if you're viewing source over the Internet, but home/work networks should have plenty of bandwidth. And if you're playing through your PC (via HDMI-out), it obviously needs a decoder, but I think it also must be HDCP compliant if accessing content over the Internet (or commercial content). That's less likely if you're using VGA-out.

View sonic makes a 3d converter box that hooks up via hdmi to the projector. That and 3d glasses make a hell of a viewing expierence!
