This 3D projector is definitely at the top of my wish list this year! I am an extreme movie-lover so I would love to have that movie experience at the comfort of my own home. I and friends do a similar thing by renting a device from the Projector Rentals Pocatello based outlet in our place and we will have a DVD marathon at my backyard.
This helps me a lot seriously.
That may take us a real feeling in the film.perfect enjoying!
Thanks for posting such useful info. I am in the market for a projector and this will help me make the right choice on which one to purchase.
Overhead projector is very useful for businesses cause it is used to every company discussion. Choosing the right brand is also significant cause you can be too lax in buying because it can be too costly.
$699 for this projector? Not bad at all cause if you will consider all the features, this is absolutely perfect for your home theater. Many will surely love to have this one in their home.
I got one of these and I love it, best thing I ever bought.
Haha totally worth it I have to get one, but I have like no place to put it. Anyone know where I can get one of those screens that like drops down over a wall or something?
I’m trying to decide whether the time to buy one is now or if they are going to keep making advances in the technology. What is your opinion? Is now the time to buy? I’ll be back when you respond via the notify me when new comments are posted.

I have this in my bedroom and it is pretty good. the only problem that I have is that it gets really hot. I watched LOTR 1 and at the end I couldn’t even touch the unit with my hands.

Really i appreciate the effort you made to share the knowledge. The topic here i found was really effective to the topic which i was researching for a long time
Thanks for clarifying this – “A 3D source, 3D content and 3D glasses are required for 3D viewing”. I have read about this new projector on lot other websites, but this info was missing all over. I have been asking around but to no answer.
Hi,
I’m also interested in the Optoma HD66.
But, as you say, there is no info about the glasses.
they are clearly not included in the box. Have a look at this review, the guy doesn’t even know that he should have 3D glasses. He’s looking at a steteo image without glasses.
Have you found any information about compatible glasses?
There is also an interesting interview to an Optoma promoter about it.
He does mention the 3D Glasses, but where are they?
Let me know if you have any new information.
as with every other 3d projector, you need to have active shutter glasses like nVidias 3D Vision goggles. they are above $100, so no wonder they are not included…
Is it worth buying Optoma HD66? i happen to come across a review that it has very bad color projection, giving greenish yellow tint. Another review pointed about flicker and rainbow effect. Pl. share your experiences that will help me to decide. Other choice for me is Acer’s. Pl mail your comments on drkamleshmehta@yahoo.com
Thanks.

It will use glasses that optoma is supposed to be releasing, but you can use “Xpand 102″ or any DLP Link shutterglasses. You will also have to have a decent PC to run content.
