No one talks about the 3D aspect of this projector. How easy is it to get 3D running and what is the quality?

its just a projector with a HDMI outyou would have to get some kind of 3d receiver and glassesthe projector is awesome probably my best purchaseI have a sony surround system with it so its haven't been to the movies since I got it

The quality is really nice. Plus, you can make as big a screen as you want if you use a wall for projecting onto.

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.

It is primarily a 2D projector, to make it 3D you have to buy a separate 3D-RF Emitter and the corresponding #D glasses.

I have not hooked a computer up to it yet but everything has been very simple with this projector. I run it off my dish receiver and blue ray with a 16 foot high speed hdmi cord. it has every input you need on the back(computer input,HDMI input,USB,and av inputs

This is a 720p Native resolution projector, but it can scale to 1080p in order to reproduce video or games in this resolution, so maybe you'll notice a little bit of quality loose, but in my case I can not notice the difference.

Good question, however, I have never tried a 3d movie on it. Hopefully, you can find somebody who has.

Oh ya. The epson is a fantastic projector. Have had mine for two years with over 5k hours and still works like new. Can't brag on it enough honestly.

Not at all. Both 2D and 3D image quality is as good or better than anything else I've seen.

I have the same projector and it works just fine with a source from either a media player, computer, android tablet or bluray player. It can also switch 2D to 3D. Its an efficient compact converter. You can also power it directly from the usb port in the projector. The connector is not supplied. I used one fromthose old power pack connectors.

I have a 106 " screen and the projector is approx 3.8mts away with no zoom. The quality is very impressive and no pixelation is seen in 1080p source.

I'm not a huge gamer, but I've played games like GTA V and COD. I notice no lag at all when using either 2D or 3D modes. In fact, the games look and feel great. I had to change some settings and modes on the projector to get the colors/darkness settings right. Once I did, games and movies all look simply fantastic.

This projector will accept side x side & top over bottom from any source (vga / component, etc. ) It will accept frame packing (mvc- H.264/MPEG-4 AVC) via HDMI from 3d blu ray & Sony 3D camcorders and play stations. ATI Radeon 3DHD outputs line & frame sequential, which this or any 3d ready projector at 120hz or greater will accept via the s-video jack. Be aware that you will be lowering the resolution by going S-V. I have done this with my old 3D laser discs and it worked well. I don't know if will accept line & frame sequential via HDMI, the old laser disc players only had S-Video out. This projector is at it's best (720p) when displaying MVC via hdmi from blu ray or ps3.

3D is actually pretty good. Slight amount of ghosting around some things but overall very good

I bought it for the sole purpose of creating a home theatre since I already have a HT system. It works out great for me since I don't sit too close and can't see the limited resolution of this projector. Do keep this in mind, your low res videos will look rubbish after being projected not because of the project but because of the low res video to begin with.

mine works well, the problem i found it is very noisy, i can hear the fen working so it is better for outside or using good speakers, the resolution is not too good either so if u need very detailed image i think u need domething better, but it is the cheapest so if u want something better u should spend at least 500. when i recently bought it i was unhappy because it is hard to project in canvas the reason it is hard it is because you will have to move the projector to get the desired size. all functions work well but i found that i can use lycra and then i made a lycra screen and then i invert the image in the projector and i like it on this way. i hope it helped you mine works well, the problem i found it is very noisy, i can hear the fen working so it is better for outside or using good speakers, the resolution is not too good either so if u need very detailed image i think u need domething better, but it is the cheapest so if u want something better u should spend at least 500. when i recently bought it i was unhappy because it is hard to project in canvas the reason it is hard it is because you will have to move the projector to get the desired size. all functions work well but i found that i can use lycra and then i made a lycra screen and then i... » Read More mine works well, the problem i found it is very noisy, i can hear the fen working so it is better for outside or using good speakers, the resolution is not too good either so if u need very detailed image i think u need domething better, but it is the cheapest so if u want something better u should spend at least 500. when i recently bought it i was unhappy because it is hard to project in canvas the reason it is hard it is because you will have to move the projector to get the desired size. all functions work well but i found that i can use lycra and then i made a lycra screen and then i invert the image in the projector and i like it on this way. i hope it helped you « Show Less

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! :)

i have only seen 3d in imax, but not in an ordinary theater. the quality is just as good as imax.

The 3D is just as good, if not better, than what you see in theaters. We actually stopped going to see movies in the theater because the quality of the projector made our home theater much better and more comfortable.
