Hi,
Actually signed up to post this as I did a lot of research on here but couldn't find an answer to my question (did find lots of useful stuff around it though).
I have an Acer X1230PK 3d Ready projector, XGA rez and VGA input. All I wanted was to get 3D up and running from a 3D bluray source, but obviously it'll cover PS3, xbox, broadcast etc...
On paper, BDPlayer - 3DXL - HDMI/VGA converter - Projector looked like it would work (bandwidth, connections etc) but it's always nice to find confirmation from someone who's already tried it.
Well, I've tried it and it works without a hitch. Here's the full setup:
1. Panasonic BDT110 3D Bluray player
2. HDMI High Speed cable
3. 3DXL
4. HDMI High Speed cable
5. HDMI to VGA converter (ebay, £35 - an LKV385)
6. VGA Cable
7. Projector (Acer X1230PK)
6a. 3.5mm stereo audio
7a. Stereo sound bar
I could also take sound directly from the bluray player in digital or analogue if I had a separate amp, but the virtual surround suits me just fine and I already had it so no cost(!).
I'm using dlp-link for sync with 2 pairs of optoma ZD201 glasses (1 came with 3dxl, other from bestbuy for £54 which seemed good to me) and 2 pairs of ebay chinese imports as they were cheap. Both sets of glasses work fine, tinting of the image is minimal - though switched off the ebay glasses have more of a green cast, this goes away when active. My only criticism of the ebay glasses would be that they're a lot more sensitive to ambient light than the optomas and lose the dlp-link signal with too much daylight - absolutely no issue in dim or darkened conditions.
Hopefully this might help a few people along their way to home 3D on a wall-sized scale.
