I love how passionate and sincere you sound when talking about 3D. Being in the army and In the barracks my 3D is limited although I have a 55 Inch 3D tv I always wanted a 3D projector. I've been researching dual 3D projection systems for when I buy my house. It's supposed to give a more immersive and impactful 3D experience then active. It's so awesome to have 3D fans still out here!

[@TommyBoy3D]

Great to hear that. Let me know how the dual works out. I know nothing about it. Thanks for watching!

Too bad the 3D didn’t take off, I remember going to the local drugstore to get “special” glasses back in the ‘80s 🙄they were special alright! 😂 Anyway, always like when your on the podcast, Brent & Jeremy are hilarious, more content please

In 2022, I began my 3D adventure. I first started with a 42"? Vizio 3D TV and Vizio 3D bluray player for $100. I caught the bug. I then 'needed' surround sound so I bought an old used 7.1 Harman Kardon AV receiver for $40. No remote, sadly. For 3D, I have to run an optical cable from the bluray player to the receiver as as the receiver does not support an HDMI standard capable of 3D. I then bought an InFocus IN112x which I paid $20 for. A generic remote cost $7. That thing has a meager resolution of 800x600 but I still used it before lucking out and finding a filthy Optoma 141x for $100 off of Facebook. I still need to take it apart and clean it. I took the InFocus projector apart down to the component/empty shell level and thoroughly blew out all the dust. I need to do that with the Optoma projector. In the room with the projector, I have 5.1 surround sound from a rather old Denon AV receiver, which I paid $40 for, and use optical cable as the receiver also does not support an HDMI spec capable of 3D content. I did not have an active subwoofer in the theatre room until recently when someone gave away a Yamaha 5.1 AV receiver with speakers for free on Craigslist stating it would not produce sound. I was happy just to have the active sub that came with that, but a little homework revealed that particular model only passed audio through HDMI but oddly would not process it and play it. Weird. But, now I have 3 receivers hooked up in 3 separate rooms. I have a boxed 100" motorized screen for the theatre room I had paid $75 for but have yet to install it. I just use the wall for now. For active shutter glasses, I actually prefer my cheap Boblov glasses for color to the XPAND glasses I have. My setup might be janky to some, but I am very happy with it and have minimal investment. That just makes me proud of my setup. Used is not bad. Obviously, my 3D bluray collection was also bought used. I have way more money in the roughly ~100 3D blurays than all my hardware!

[@KnotRight4Ever]

Drive angry with nicholas cage is a must for 3d effects an u can get it dirt cheap because without 3d it was very underrated , and I highly recommend any nature 3d especially the sharks, dolphins and even the cgi dinosaurs, dino birds and solar system ones. When u see the sun literally floating in ur room or go cross-eyed when they do a close up of a dolphine face to face because his nose sticks so far out u'll be hooked on them I have every nature one, my nephew ran out of the room the moment he put on the glasses when I was watching the shark one, he didn't really know what it was because the 3d is so intense that with the glasses off it's a complete blur because the 2 images are so far apart.

[@eronic404]

Doctor Strange in 3d is probably insane, I can only imagine how that movie looks in 3d. I wanted to watch it in 3d when it came out but missed it because I was on Disney cruise and watched it for free in there 2d theater. But some other movies I know look beautiful in 3d is Avatar, Ready Player One, Spiderman Into the Spiderverse, and Tron Legacy. Probably many more but those are movies known for looking beautiful in 3d.

[@KitKatRocks1984]

When you go to 3D mode and your picture on the screen goes dark head to the settings of your computer or TV and brighten up the image and the 3D will look bright and Crisp like in the cinema. I watch 3D movies on my computer connected to my BenQ projector and you don't really need a 3D player as long as you have a 3D video player on your computer. Go to your computer/laptop settings and brighten up the image and play with the Black settings so that the darks look dark. I use Potplayer, I open up the program hit where it says 3D click SBS (side by side) then look for a setting called Software page flipping, pick a 3D movie from my computer then I turn the 3D on- on my Projector get my glasses hit the button to turn them on and instantly start watching 3D movies.

[@allrock1238]

we talk about the technology of viewing the content , in most cases powered Active shutter glasses are used in some form at home, "but" there are also the presentation technologys that use a activly synced "polarizer" within a Flat panel display screen or projector,, (this also requires a special screen that can reflect polarized light and you will sometimes see this special layer placed over the screen at a Cinema that's why its there ) this is viewed using much simpler polarized 3D glasses there are some projectors that support that type of 3D presentation.. Where things get interesting science wise is the huge differences on how different directors "artistically" use 3D within there films, and how its woven into a the production of scene scripting of 3D films themselves, some directors have really done there home work on how our brain works with stereoscopic images, and how this impacts how a films immersive storytelling is internally recognized as an experience instead of a being perceived as tacked on layer,, for example Cameron's development of the "very unique" 3D fusion camera for capturing live scenes "but" this is also deeply woven into the whole production rendering chain ,, this directly impacts the internal experience of from a viewers perspective , many other producers use the simple side by side lens rig's in both there capture and rendering chain "or" "convert 2D to 3D after production,, whats the difference ? its talked about here in this interview . kzbin.info/www/bejne/nICWZoeal8Rmjtk ... dynamic fluid stereo space management and rendering embedded within the films artistic cinematography is very important ,, if you watch Avatar, and other Cameron films you will note the stereo space is dynamically adjusted to fit the "scene space" there are even times where there is certain types of motion where the stereo space is reduced to zero if that type of motion would induce motion sickness . Take a look at he 10K (yes it really is presented in true 10K) 60 frame per second 3D cinematography from "Flight of passage" peoples jaws just hit the floor , flight of passage uses 4 ultra bright laser projectors that use 2 laser light engines producing two different spectrum's of light. both left and right eye frames are presented on the screen in sync "at the exact same time so there is absolutely zero image discrepancy .perceived by the viewer. the internal emotional reaction the viewer experiences is deeply immersive.

[@konstantine_c]

Good little introduction to the world of 3D movies. Have you been a fan of 3D since the beginning (recent beginning around 2008) or only got into it about a decade later? Not sure if anyone has mentioned it in the comments yet, but any model of the Sony PS3 or PS4 can play 3D movies (and stereo-3D games). Also, a convenient thing about 3D TVs vs projectors is that a tv is a more compact and easy-to-move setup, which also has built in sound. Of course, projectors have their advantages too. This can be a topic for a long discussion on its own. Thanks for the video!

[@cp-ul4bz]

Thanks for the info in the lumens. I never gave it any thought but you are right. I currently have a benq projector that i believe gives out 2200 lumens. But it can play 3d. Just got a free 3d bluray and just ordered some glasses to test it out but i was all set to start collecting 3d movies lol my ebay wishlist started getting big lol. Gonna put that on pause till i test it out with some glasses, may have to return them if i dont like the way they look with my projector.

[@jadonx]

I love to watch photo 3d .mpo files on my LG 3d 55" tv. I used a Fuji 3d camera on holiday south of France and it is just like revisiting again. It would be great to see these projected also. I just have a cheap 1080p goodmans at the moment and looking for a 4k upgrade now.

Thanks so much for the simple yet insightful video. I have several 3D blurays left over from years ago when I had a small 3D TV (RIP) and was delighted to see that projectors still carried the torch.

Hey I have a question, so I purchased JMGO 4k that has 3D, and was wondering can you stream 3D movies or do you really have to have a 3D player. Originally I was of the understanding that 3D projectors would make all images in 3D without extra hardware other than 3D glasses.

[@brucesmith1754]

3D movies can be streamed from services that provide a 3D side-by-side source. Unfortunately the only service that I know of that streams 3D is VUDU. Good Luck.

[@meowza3k]

have you ever played with the 3d settings on the projector? are there any settings that should be adjusted for top quality 3d effect? i'm finding it difficult to find out what the settings even do.

[@TommyBoy3D]

meowza3k Most 3D setting have to do with what type of glasses you are using. Whether they are DLP link or RF. Or no 3D at all. The rest of the settings have to do with the picture quality.

[@Rick-ng3lr]

Hi Tommy, i enjoyed your video’s. Educational and entertaining. I have a few questions if you don’t mind. At which resolution/input timing did you play your 3d content on your optoma hd142x? From what i understand in the optoma manual is that it supports 720@60hz and 1080p@30hz. Both are for 3d with frame packing which from my understanding is the standard for 3d blu-ray? If so, which one did you use and why? And final question. Does the 3d glasses refresh rate need to match the projector refresh rate? If so than glasses like the hi-shock dlp glasses which support refresh rates from 96 to 200hz will not work when the refresh rate of the projector is at 30 or 60hz? My guts says that i am making a logical mistake here..

[@TommyBoy3D]

I think you gut is right. Maybe? Listen... all this is above me my friend......sorry about that. I never changed my projector from the factory settings. I'm a pop and play guy.

[@Rick-ng3lr]

@@TommyBoy3D I’ve found my answers. Resolution and 3d mode can’t be selected for 3d content on consumer-grade optoma beamers. And for the refresh rate of the glasses.. not 100% but I’m guessing that if the 3d input is running at 24hz the glasses needs to support 96hz. Thanks and keep up the good work! 😎👍🏻

[@jeffreyhurst9576]

Epson is dropping 3D support from their next generation of Home Theater projectors. (new LS12000 is replacing their 5050UB). If other manufacturer's follow their lead, it may be time to buy a 3D capable projector while you still can.

I’m just getting started with 3D. In fact, I just got my 3D projector last week. I was wondering about region restrictions as I expand my 3D Blu-ray collection. You mention getting a lot of your 3D Blu-rays from the UK. My understanding is that the UK uses Region B encryption. Are blu-ray players in the US use region A. My concern is putting a good amount of money down on building my collection if I’m not able to play a Region B blu-ray. Any advice? Love the reviews! Keep them coming!

[@TommyBoy3D]

Right so any blu-ray I buy from the UK must be "region free" or region A. Because I have a region A player. I heard that there are region free players out there, but I never looked into it. Too many region free blu-rays out there to worry about that.

This Benq 1070 really seems like an incredible 3D projector. One funny note: it’s been crazy hot where I am and just as the BluRay Tahiti credits were ending a giant bug appeared moving on my 100 inch screen. I jumped and was like WHOA...one last 3D surprise from the movie! Turned on the lights and saw it was actually a huge waterbug moving across the top of the screen. Summer in New York.

Speaking of lumens, DLP projectors are much darker than 3LCD and I have been told by many people that 3LCD technology is superior for 3D movies because you get nearly double the brightness of the lumens rating, both in color brightness and white brightness. over DLP. So if you have a 3000 lumens DLP and 3000 lumens 3LCD, the visible light on the projected screen is much different. Epson themselves has a demo of them doing a side by side of a DLP vs their 3LCD and showing how much brighter it is. I couldn't believe it. The only downside of 3LCD is that older models had crosstalk issues but I've heard that has been fixed in recent years and using newer glasses that are RF glasses in particular. DLP link glasses only work with DLP projectors and every other projector usually uses RF link

[@TommyBoy3D]

Great comments. I just never wanted to try the 3LCD as I have always liked the DLP. I will check into that with my next projector purchase. Thank you.

Hey there. Excellent info. I have a question. You mentioned capability based on regions. I bought a Projector from China. 8500 Lumens. 21000:1 ratio. I tried to watch 3D movies from Amazon Prime. It said the State does not allow it. Is that because its a Chinese Projector? Also, im going to buy a 3D dvd player so I can play 3D movies. Do I need a special DVD player? And do the DVDs need to be the same region as the Projector?

[@Exteeeze]

DLP Active

[@TommyBoy3D]

I don't believe the fact that you bought it from China has anything to do with it. Sounds like its the capabilities (or lack thereof) of the projector. Is the projector 3D ready? Research the model number and look at the specs. It has to have 3D display capabilities. Before you buy the 3D blue ray player make sure your projector has 3D capabilities. Buy a 3D player from e-bay used $70 more or less and it should be a US player (samsung, etc.) Yes the movies need to be the same region as the player unless you buy "region Free" movies. Good luck. Find out about that projector first though. You will need glasses and a high speed HDMI cable and a sound system. Projector speakers suck! I don't know anything about watching 3D movies on PRIME but I would imagine that you would have to up your service because you are receiving two signals and your standard plan may not provide this.

[@Exteeeze]

@@TommyBoy3D yes its definitely 3D ready. Glasses came with the projector. There's a video on the projector I watched with my glasses. I bought a region free Sony DVD player yesterday. I should be good? I do need a better sound system though. Any ideas?

@@Exteeeze I have an old 5.1 surround system that I run an optical cable to from the DVD player. If I didn't have that I might go with a sound bar with a a good base speaker. But it all depends on the size of the room. Good luck! thanks for watching!

If you are going to have a standard set-up with a 3D blue ray player and a surround sound system then I would get an Optoma 143X for $400-$450. I know nothing about Bluetooth-ing movies. Sorry about that one. I do not think the Optoma 143X has bluetooth capabilities. Even if it did you would still have to figure out how to get the sound to a surround sound system or sound bar becuase the projector speakers are really tiny and of no use really.

[@toonman361]

I am a subscriber and enjoy your 3D reviews. I must admit, I was disappointed in no real information given on your 3D projector since the title suggest there would be. I don't understand what makes a projector "3D ready" or not. Is the 3D player responsible for the 3D signal or is the projector, and if the player, what makes the projector special? Does the screen have to be silver based?

[@TommyBoy3D]

AH. Great questions and sorry about that. So here is what you need to watch a "3D Blu-ray disc" with a projector like mine. 1) you need a 3d blue-ray movie disc. 2) a 3d Blu-ray player. 3) a 3d ready projector. It is called ready because it is ready to receive the 3d signal from the 3d player gathering the 3d info off of the disc and pumping it up to the projector (best to have a high-speed HDMI cable) where the projector puts the 3d image on the wall or screen no special screen needed. Then you put your 3d active shutter glasses on. At this point there are 3 ways the glasses get the signal from the projector. I use the simplest method "DLP link". which means my glasses get the information right from the picture on the wall or screen through a sensor on the front of the glasses, it's just magical. The other 2 ways are from an "infra-red" or "Radio frequency". But I just use the simplest method and its great. I hope this helps. Thank you for watching!

YOU DO NOT NEED A SPECIAL SCREEN FOR A 3D PROJECTOR...FACT

[@emailatomic]

I saw Ghosts in the Abyss in the theater. I don't want to and can't dismiss your experience but I was very disappointed with my theater experience. I found the image very grainy. I am guessing it was pretty dark compared to a 2D movie but what I remember is it looked washed out and not very vibrant. I was particularly disappointed with this because there was buzz when this came out about Cameron's new 3D system and this didn't use that system. This lowered my expectations for Avatar a lot. That might have been a good thing because I was very impressed with Avatar. I own a 3D TV and really like watching films on that. I also had a 120 inch 2D screen. Its a lot harder with a pull down screen but it was very worthwhile for me to create a velvet/black masking system. It greatly improves the perception of the film.
