    4.0 out of 5 stars A good purchase for the price 2 Mar 2011
    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.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Product description is wrong 23 Mar 2011
    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!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Product! 5 Mar 2011
    Amazon Verified Purchase
    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....

    5.0 out of 5 stars 3D convert 6 Aug 2011
    By Jonny

    Absolutely brilliant !

    I WAS a 3D sceptic until I saw it in my home using this product. I thought it was a gimmic, but now I'm well and truly hooked.

    Recieved this product today and it is worth every penny. I already had a projector, the old Optoma HD700x model and it wasn't 3D capable until Optoma thankfully released a firmware update that allowed that model (and two others, the HD65, HD700x or GT7000) to be 3D ready.

    Get the firmware update for those models here : [...]%20Entertainment&PC=HD65%203D%20Upgrade

    My system (if it's help full)

    Optoma HD700x projector
    Samsung BD-c5900 Blu Ray player http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B003XT6YYQ/ref=oss_product
    Optoma 3D-XL
    Panoview 92" manual screen
    Technics amp ??? (old and using optical for audio, no HDMI pass through)

    The unit itself is very simple, compact and intuitive. Very little effort involved in the set-up. Would have been nice to have a remote to be able switch input source and 3D mode, but you wont need to change it that often and exercise is good anyway.

    At first I had some issues displaying a 3D image. But the solution in my case was to switch the 'Super wide' option to on. The projector instantly displayed a 3D image and the fun began !

    I have watched the movie 'Drive Angry' and the I-max documentary 'Sharks-3D', and I am now a true believer in 3D tech. It made me feel excited for future content. Something that I had been lacking in recent month's. I am yet to try any 3D gaming, but will as soon as possible.

    If you already own an Optoma 3D ready projector, then is really is a no brain buy. You will not be sorry !
