PS3 or 720p Movies: Does anyone have any insight as to whether this a good projector for playing PS3 games or watching movies from my PS3.

I haven't hooked up my PC or laptop to it, but I have my PS3 connected to it. Without knowing all the technical jargon, in my opinion, I think it works great and the picture quality is great! I usually use my PS3 for Madden and Black Ops 2, and I have no complaints about it whatsoever.

The ps3 can output at all the settings listed(use 720p or 1080i for best picture), regular cable will be 480i. This tv will be fine for your needs.

DLP Active Shutter glasses. I have had difficulty getting my PS3 to recognize it as a 3D device, but it works perfectly connected directly to my Toshiba 3D bluray player. Make sure you are using a newer HDMI cable which supports 3D. I got this projector to lose the scalar box that I needed for my previous projector and love it. It is the brightest projector for the money. I think its between 6 to 8 pounds.

The 3D function does not work with the PS3. This projector requires a special type of "signal" that only some specific computer video cards can output.

I have a 130 inch screen and the quality is good. Doesn't degrade with size. It's not a 1080p projector but does 720 well. Good projector for the price.

I am not a PS3 user, so can't comment on that. I can tell that the movies via the receiver through this sound awesome. They actually place you in the scene, the sound stage is fantastic. My GUESS is they would do the same for gaming...

Do you guys use this projector for TV as well, or just DVDs? I am looking for a good projector that will do well for watching football games, etc through satellite, cable, etc.

Not me but I am using hdmi cable with a samsung 46" LCD LN46B640. It was definitely near HD quality. Watched a regular dvd of inglourious basterds and district 9 this week and the picture quality was nothing short of amazing. In district 9, the helicopter shot over the alien camp was so crystal clear that it looked like 3-d. I'm gonna have to rent the blu-ray version to compare them. I've been happy with the upconversion. I also have a regular sony dvd player (dvp-ns700h/b) that got great reviews and I still use in my bedroom. Is that the one you have? You could even see my 5/14/08 amazon review of the sony dvd player to see how much I love my sony dvd player (dvp-ns700h/b). The Sony dvd player does an amazing job of upconverting. Probably the best outside of an oppo. Maybe even slightly better than the panasonic blu-ray player. Not really sure though because I have been really impressed with dvds in the panasonic. Maybe I will set up both with my television and really compare them. I do suggest you to connect an hdmi to your television though. That may fix your problem. Maybe the sony converts better than the panasonic with the component cables but the panasonic may convert equally well with an hdmi.

Has anyone played games on it?I just bit the bullet and bought the Samsung LN40A550 based on reviews. (Got ps3 for blue ray discs and I watch A LOT of movies.) I also like to play FPS and other games with a lot of movement and action. Has anyone noticed any sort of ghosting or blurring when they play games on it? Bad thing to wonder about AFTER I buy the tv, but I'm sure it'll still be worth it when I see my movies in a new-1080p-light.

Yes, that is true! i have this projector at 1 year ago with 2 viewsonic active shutter glasses and a PS3 320Gb (move) with the last fw 3.56 for 3D support and NEVER, "NEVER" can see in 3D... grrrrrr!!! i do try softwares to generate 3D with the laptop like Tridef, etc with no lucky... i am an experimented technical user and reading a lot about this think the last thing to do is wait the last presentation of Viewsonic, the VP3D1 3D converter box to use with the projector... is the same of the Optoma 3D-XL, but i hope the VP3D1 are cheapest! sorry my bad english! :)

Hi Shaune Lewis,This was the kind of solution I was looking from a long time and thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience thro' this post.I have a Sony BDP S-570 Bluray player which says it is 3D ready and a Viewsonic PJD 6531w 3D ready DLP projector...But I am not able to play a 3D bluray disc (christmas Carol 3D) with this setup from my Sony BD player... Could you please suggest the best option to bridge the gap b/w my Sony BD player BDP S570 and Viewsonic Projector PJD 6531w..?Thanks for your time in responding to the post...

It depends upon what you want to display via the projector. What is your video/audio out? You that port and get an appropriate adapter. I returned mind because the color was terrible. But I think there were several input ports I was using HDMI. I think it had s video and RCA also, but I'm not sure. Check the specs online to see what input ports it has.

It was my understanding that PS3 produced 720p or 1080i images. The Pana BD85 is 1080p. As far as accuracy of color, the BD85K is much better than my brother's PS3. We both have 720p sets, but to be fair, he's on a 40" Samsung 60hz LCD, whereas I have a Pana Viera 600hz plasma. No comparison there, so that could be the difference.

Thanks for the reply. Ill try that. Just to pass some info along, my friend told me the best way to hook up the audio is through an optical cable. Ive never used one. There is a port on my PS3 as well as my surrond sound. He said this cable was the best way to get the highest quality out of your surround sound. Kind of like comparing SD to HD. My optima will be coming in tomorrow, I cant wait. Kinda like christmas for me haha. Thanks for the advice on the ceiling mount. I was gonna buy the 20$ one but after your comment I went for the Atdec TH-WH-PJ-FM Telehook Universal Projector Flush Mountit was 54$ but had some good reviews. Cant wait till tomorrow....calling into work sick! Thanks for the reply. Ill try that. Just to pass some info along, my friend told me the best way to hook up the audio is through an optical cable.

My projector only shows 1080i or 720p. I don't see any artifacts in my picture, which looks wonderful.
