I pretty much exclusively use Nvidia 3D Vision, so can anyone tell me if the 'new' versions of this projector (3d Vision certified and with the firmware that came out in 2010) are any good for displaying 3D Vision games or 3D Stereoscopic player stuff in 1280x720 or 1280x800? I really want to buy this projector, as its $400 cheaper than anything equivalent where I am. I've read through this entire thread, but i'm pretty confused, as there seems to have been several different versions of this projector and firmware. I would appreciate any help from anyone on this The red warning, I am having major issues with. The other options 3D vision decreases peak brightness, presumably to reduce ghosting with nVidia's crappy glasses, or DLP link option, which decreases contrast (which is fixed when viewed through DLP glasses). When I want to play something in non 3D, I want 120FPs, but this can only be done well with the 3D sync is off. This is significant to me because I'm one of those people who notice the difference between 60FPS and 120FPS. It shuts down without cooling off, and when 3d sync is set to off on the projector menu at 120Hz, I get corruption. Unfortunately, this projector has issues too, I will ask for a replacement. Reversing is only a problem with VGA afaik, not on hdmi, no matter what the resolution. With these, i can reverse at the flick of a switch. I use mainly DLP link glasses though, which are far better imho, as they are truly 0 ghosting. I hardwire reversed my 3D vision glasses a long time ago. Yes, the projector allows me to go from 16:10 to 16:9 to 4:3 through the projector menu, and it's instant. All they say on the cable is 'High Speed', and I'm not familiar enough to know if this aligns with 1.4 in any way or not. They are the amazon cables and I'm not sure when they started selling those. Bought them about a year ago too (I think) and not sure exactly if they were 1.4 ready or not. It outputs HDMI, but I couldn't find any details regarding which version. But then again, it could be the video card (ATI Radeon 4850) - not sure what kind of support for 3D this will have. I do not have the Nvidia vision, though, which seems to be what a lot of you guys are trying with. This evening I will try that route with the (hopefully) new firmware and see if I make any more progress. Has anyone had any luck with this projector and PS3?Īlso tried last night (before firmware) with HTPC / PowerDVD, but didn't make much progress.
My understanding is it should after the firmware update which should bring it to HDMI 1.4. I've tried with the PS3, but it doesn't seem to think it's a 3D ready projector. I think they auto activate when getting 3D signal. I have the xpand x102 DLP link glasses, but am not sure if they work since they don't seem to activate (never used them either, which doesn't help). It's hard for me to figure out where the problem in the 3D setup lies.projector? glasses? video card? cable? Since most of you report that it still reports incorrectly, how can I tell if the firmware update was successfully applied? In the updater program, I know it seemed to erase the data and then copied the new data, and said complete, so I imagine it worked.but can't tell. It initially had the 1.02 firmware, but I struggled through the firmware update and THINK I updated it to 1.47. I now have them but am struggling to get 3D working. I've had the PJD6531w since last summer but never got into the 3D aspect of it since I didn't have glasses and didn't want to buy them. try1218759" onclick="window.open(this.href) return false Ī little late to the thread, but hopefully someone can help. I did it, but I cant remember if I had to when pushing the signal from vga." On the other hand, if you are looking at 1280x800, that does work and that is native, but you may have to hack their driver. It sounds easy to just turn a bunch o' pixels off to give 16:9, but hey. Not sure how this product got out the door. This makes this projects massively suck if you intend to really be using the hdmi input since things will be 16:10. I think there is some hardware issue that they cannot solve to make the flash program exit properly. The flashing of the bios, yeah, it just doesnt work. They claim it never has done it, wont do it, and wasnt advertised as ever being able to do it.
"I got an email from Viewsonic and they were very interested in hearing from anyone who has ever seen 16:9 show on any part of viewsonic software for anything related to the 6531w. I thought might to know about the posting from the nvidia site below: I am not sure I could remember that far back either.
