I have one of these projectors, and it works fine. I just ordered a Samsung 3D BluRay player. One of the comments here says it won't work in 3D. True?

Hello Richard. Don't panic!!! I finally got mine to work. In order to play 3D movies, ALL your devices (including the receiver) should 3D capable and the firmware should be updated. In my case, the blu-ray player is connected to a receiver and then to the 3D TV. After a lot of time chatting with sony tech people, they sent me the upgrade for the reciever (which is a very complicated process, by the way) and everything worked fine. After that, I haven't had any problems. Hope this will help you.

I read online that even HDMI 1.3 would work for 3D (provided you have the PS3 firmware update 3.5)So this projector should work I think. I am thinking of buying this too for the Ps3 to play 3D.

I just paid $34.96 for my first 3D movie, Tron 3D. My BDP-BX57 gives me the message that it cannot play 3D movies with this player. Why did I buy this 3D player again, not to mention the glasses, the DVD, and the 3D compatible TV? Sony's web site indicated that a "future" firmware update will enable 3D DVD playback. WHEN is this going to occur? And does SONY believe I would have purchased this player if I knew the product was not a functional 3D player, despite it's labeling? So I guess now I have to wait months for the product to be corrected, or spend more money hoping the next product won't be fraudulently marketed.Sony BDP-BX57 Blu-ray Disc Player, 3D-ready with built-in WI-FI I just paid $34.96 for my first 3D movie, Tron 3D.

There's actually quite a few. The glasses that came with our Samsung 3D tv work with our Epson projector as well. Spend a little time doing some research online and there's some deals to be found. My wife found a 5 pack of generic glasses for a little over $100 and they work fine.

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 say it's defective as well. However, what device(s) do you have hooked to it? If you are trying to use 3D over it, it shouldn't work as this device is HDMI v1.3b and not v1.4. If you have multiple devices hooked to it, unhook all but one and try the different ports, it could just be a faulty port or even a bad cable. This is a great little device, I put mine in place in early 2013 and have 3 devices hooked to it, a dvr, a blueray player and a computer. I have never had too look at it again, it just keeps on working. Even if it is defective, I'd try another one because of the low price.

Does it support it - yes; I haven't used it so I don't know how well it works. There were known issues with 3D in certain configurations so you'd want the latest firmware. What doesn't work is backward compatibility with DVI - it will not properly separate the video signal for the display doing an HDMI-to-DVI conversion (even though it's supposed to work) and there is no component out so you have to feed HDMI to your display (or AVR).

I ran into the issue of my Yamaha receiver not being 3D compatible. I had to run the HDMI directly to the projector and use a fiber optic cable from the player to the receiver for the sound. However, I have a 7.1 system and fiber optics only supports 5.1 so I am going to get a passive splitter that supports 3D to send an HDMI signal to both devices. If you don't have a receiver, you will need to get one if you want to get sound out to external speakers as there is no pass through on this device.

yes would work fine just make sure when you get projector to put picture setting on 3D

I use the Optoma glasses that are 80ish $. Not sure if the Sainsonic are exactly the same quality and sync well with the projector but being a brand new product (when I got the projector in September) I wanted to make sure they are perfectly compatible. I have to say I too have an issue with the 3D but it is only happening on certain movies (Iron Man 3 so far but only tried 3 3D movies). The 3D seems to occasionally "de-sync" causing the image to be blurry. The glasses are however connected. It isn't my receiver as I tried with the PS3 plugged directly into the projector and the same happened. Given it did not happen with all the movies I'm inclined to think the problem was with the movie itself but I still thought it's good to give you a heads up.

If the projector has HDMI plug ins and supports 1080i resolutions that is what the TV has to be set at for it to work on the 60 in sharp and PS3 Games it is ok but if you been to the movie and seen 3D its not like that its the old red and Blue lenses glasses look into how the movie 3D work it uses 2 projector off set a little to give the convergence effect of 3D have want to get a couple projector to try it and see if I can use the theatre glasses and get the same effect just a thought if you try the 2 projectors and theatre glass let me know how it worked :)

Hi Diane,I called to Sony customer services to ask this matter and they told me that my receiver is not 3D capable, just 3D capable receiver can pass-through that signal due of the HDMI 1.4 (higher bandwith and so). However, I still have my doubt about it. I have not tested it yet because I haven't bought the 3DTV yet. AS soon as I tested will let you know the results.Furthermore, I think that, even if it works, sooner or later, I have to buy a new receiver to feel that I am taking full advantage (or not missing something) of 3D capabilities.If I buy a new receiver, I would buy the new Sony 1010.Regards Hi Diane,I called to Sony customer services to ask this matter and they told me that my receiver is not 3D capable, just 3D capable receiver can pass-through that signal due of the HDMI 1.4 (higher bandwith and so).

Dear HL S. It is difficult to provide an accurate and scientific answer based on the given input. Give it a try, buy the product, check it out and see if it meets your quality standards. If yes--Great!. Otherwise return to supplier for full refund and learn from the experience when specifying another projector. Regards. Mr. North East.

Check if the projector is 3D DLP - Link. If it is, then the glass will work fine.

Yup, I just purchased one last week and I just plugged in a blu-ray player via HDMI and powered on the projector and it automatically detected the HDMI connection. All I had to do after that was to adjust the focus. Hope that helps :)

Just got the unit. I used it with my Acer k132. HDMI 3D works great. I also used an HDMI to VGA adapter but got nothing. The message on the projector is "signal not supported". I hope that helps.
