Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
The world's first 3D projector adapter, the Optoma 3D-XL adapts existing DLP projectors enabling them to display 3D. Compatible with 3D broadcast signals, 3D Blu-ray players and 3D games from the Sony PS3 the 3D-XL simply connects between a 3D source and a DLP projector. The huge, greater than 100", 3D projected images in the home provide a fantastically immersive experience that is just not possible with the small screen of a 3D TV and amazingly the total cost of this jaw-dropping 3D experience is a fraction of the cost of 3D TV's!

I purchased this to go with the Optoma HD 600X projector and it sits well with the system. It's the same width/depth so the projector can be placed on top of it on a desktop (I don't have it ceiling mounted at present). The design is simple and could have benefited from some automated features or remote control when switching the side by side (SBS) mode on or changing input sources (2 HDMI sockets at the back). This is a problem when playing media content through PS3 or Xbox, as you have to keep swapping views to suit as you cycle through the source menus. For prolonged sessions it becomes less of an issue.
The quality is very good with a clear sharp image, and naturally the benefit of having a large screen size is unmatched for the full cinematic 3D experience. I believe there might be some minor signal adjustment as it is processed through the box, namely some degradation in definition and an increase in brightness (to compensate for the glasses I assume). I also believe there's some cropping (slight border) around the edges - although these are minor issues.
As for the actual 3D, it works well with PS3 and Xbox 360. It also works well streaming video content and HD movie playback. There's very little crosstalk (if any) during video playback but becomes more noticeable when playing certain video games like first person shooters, although in some instances you might notice it more if you are specifically trying to look for it. An example, it's very much there in a game like Killzone 3, but less prominent with a racing game like Motorstorm. It's something which can largely be ignored, but is there all the same and exasperated by the fact that a projector screen is larger than a standard TV making it more noticeable.
On occasion the glasses will flicker momentarily which seems to happen if you move during viewing. The glasses are comfortable overall, but a bit on the heavy side in terms of noticing they are there. I also feel the glasses lens size could be a bit bigger to cover more of your eyes.
I'm very pleased with the purchase from a gaming perspective despite the crosstalk and can highly recommend it for the purpose, although I am put off by the cost of additional glasses for collective movie viewing. I suspect these will come down in price eventually but is something to consider when tallying up the total cost.

You're getting newer (ZD-201) glasses, not the old 101... and also, only one battery, not two as mentioned! :)
When it comes to the 3D-XL, it's AMAZING!
Real 3D at home! Absolutely mind blowing... just hope they're gonna release some new movies on 3D BluRay, 'cause at the moment there are no a lot of titles!

Ordered last night, received this morning :)
If you have a 3D ready DLP projector, and either a 3D BR Player, 3D Sky box, or PS3....this box is a MUST! It will take the hdmi 1.4 3D signal, and convert it into the correct format for viewing with your 3D DLP LINK projector.
It will also support content that is in "side by side" format, and again convert this for use with the 3D DLP LINK projector.
I am using mine with the Optoma HD67, and I am very impressed with this setup.
The setup has native resolution of 720p, which is great for 3D gaming, and still looks perfectly sharp and clear for movies too.
So far, I have tested with the Blu-Ray 3D movie Resident Evil, a side by side demo clip of avatar, and the games Avatar, Superstardust HD, Killzone 3, Wipeout HD, and COD:Black Ops.
On ALL tests so far, the 3D element has been amazing. Full colour images, with absolutely ZERO "ghosting" or "crosstalk".
The depth is really impressive on avatar (although you need to set the unit for side-by-side for this game), and black ops. Although, some games I must say do suffer a bit in terms of the graphics when you switch to 3D mode. KZ3 is a prime example of this. It claims to still be running at 720p, but honestly, it doesn't look like 720p, more like dvd quality (480p or 567p maybe). The 3D element makes it totally worth it though, and this is obviously content dependant, as other games look just as good in 3D as they do in 2D.
The unit comes supplied with one pair of optoma's new ZD201 glasses. They are powered by CR2302 batteries....but if you look on ebay, I grabbed 100 spares for only £10, so that's not really an issue either :)
Even if you don't have a 3D DLP projector....it is still FAR cheaper to buy this box with an optoma HD67 (total cost etimated around £750 give or take) than it is to shell out on a 3DTV of a much smaller screen size, that will suffer terrible ghosting. If you don't believe me, goto a local TV dealer and try 3D LCD for yourself. Trust me, it isn't a patch on DLP.
If I had to find a negative for this product, it would simply be that, the nature of DLP LINK means that sometimes the glasses will not sync on first try, so you will want to keep your projector remote handy to press the sync button at the beggining of each session......but so far, i've found that ONCE SYNCED, the glasses stay operating correctly.....so it's not like you'll be watching a film and half way through thigns will start looking wierd. But it is unfortunate that there is no way to keep the sync when everything is switched off.....but it's the way the technology works, and it takes 2 seconds at the begginning of your session to sync them :)
Overall, I'm really impressed with this kit, it provides a cheap alternative to 3DLCDTV's, and actually out-performs them in my view, because you get a screen that's twice the size and with ZERO ghosting. THAT is a deal-breaker in my view :)
