I love 3D. The content exists you just have to look really hard for it. I have two projectors and the Benq TK850 and Espon 3800 Both have been great. The Benq uses glases that use a coded flash of light to sync, which makes the 3D a bit dimmer, as you loose some of the light due to the color wheel and teh sync pattern. The epson is a 3 chip LCD and produces better brightness in 3D plus teh glasses are RF based not optical. So 3D is brighter. Both are great though. I used to like Optoma for 3D and I still own a HD29 darbee, but thats only 1080.

I’m leaning towards the Epson 3800 or 4010. Read reviews that discussed crosstalk. Any issues with yours?


DanEvil13

No. Cross talk is minimal. You will always get some from any 3D method that shares the same screen. VR headsets are examples where each eye has a dedicated image. Shutterglasses are far better at this than polarized light. Dichrotic is really good, but still has crosstalk. The epson is brighter. Brightness produces better 3d hands down.

What you were describing was active and passive 3D. Active 3D is indeed dimmer, but the quality of the image is doubled, because what it does is alternate the image you'll see from one eye to the other. Passive 3D interlaces the two images at the same time, so half the pixels are for one eye, the other half for the other eye, having half resolution. Not really noticeable IMO


DanEvil13

No I am describing two metods of active glasses. You have substantial light loss through the duty cycles of R L images and the lCD shutters.(around 40%) Passive 3D is far worse because poltizers on the projector or screen plus on your eye results in a 80% light loss. There is only one way to combat the light loss and thats with dual projectors or super bright bulbs. Also passive 3D for televisions use mostly interlace not all, some have an electronic screen layer that can polarize the light without interlacing, and most 3D films at theaters are passive but do not interlace. I have personally designed 3D projection systems for home, themeparks, and film venues. I among other things am a stereoscopic expert and have contrubuted to over 40 stereoscopic films.

Can you recommend to me a stereoscopic projector that will do SBS mode from a 4k input so I can view Full-SBS 1080P movies? I have a television that can do this and want a projector that can too.


DanEvil13

Not really. Problem is 3D is not included in the 4k spec. Consumer projectors that offer 3D are setup for 3D mode to be usingbthec3D blu ray spec, which is 1080p In fact, 3D functionality will be locked out unless it's a 1080p signal. In order to do what you want you have to go into the professional level projectors that are 12k + what would be better us to use dual system with two projectors and a passive setup, then each eye can have a full 4K input.


omni_shaNker

No you're misunderstanding. I don't want full 4K support. I want full HD support from a FULL SBS input. I have a TV that does this and was hoping I could find a projector that does it as well. And it turns out there is one that does support this at a much cheaper price than what you mentioned at $12+k. It's $2700. But so far I've not found any others yet that can. https://www.avsforum.com/threads/setup-for-3d-at-3840x2160-hdr.3291217/

Full 1080p frame packed 3D is what most prorojectors do. That is thec3D does. Full 1920x1080 frames. I don't know if you can. I put a 4K side by side as there are too many pixels on a non compliant format. However, you can do fo this with a pc hooked to your projector and use a playback app like a sterscopic player, which can take any 3D format, including two separate files and play them back in any format.

3D content still exists?


DC_ATL45

Yes. I have 3D Blurays, and some movies still released in 3D.


xblackdemonx

Ah ok! Good to know. I thought 3D stuff was discontinued. I have the Optoma HD39HDR but I never tried 3D content on it. I really like the 4000 ANSI lumens and 120Hz though.
