which instructions you guys followed to make the diy screen?

do u have stock for the hd5 bulb? how much issit?

thx

Hi guys,anywhere can still get the hd65 around klg valley?If so how much would it cost?

any SIFU here using optoma HD20...can share some calibration or own custom settings...

I follow this thread for my HD20, the color is so far so good, only the black level is not good enough.

Optoma HD20 Video Calibration Setting

Now HD67 at same price level.

anyone managed to watch astro via this projector..coz the image from astro that i see is all purple color

Colour space mismatch. Change at the projector. Astro b.yond box is YCbCr 4:4:4 8 bit thru hdmi.

using component cable for astro..living in a condo..dont have hd signal yet...

astro connecto to av receiver via component...av receiver to projector via hdmi..not sure where to change

i have done a little calculation for the 100" diagonal image size projection from a throw distance of 12 feet.

if i want the center of the image being 50" from the floor, the projector would have to be placed about 80" high up from the floor (offset included)

i'm not planning for a ceiling mount installation. is it simple to install ceiling mount from the plaster ceiling?
else, a karaoke speaker tripod would suffice as very tall one is easily available at Jln Pasar.

is it possible for the pojector to be placed lower (such as 60" from floor so that i can use a projector trolley), and can the vertical image shift give enough compensation for that?

i installed mine on the ceiling and its more convenient than on the floor. the pj ceiling mount must be fixed on the concrete ceiling and not the plaster ceiling which can't hold the weight

If you're going to install the ceiling mount now, some hacking of the plaster ceiling will be involved. Also to be safer, you can install directly to the concrete.

You can place the projector lower, but pls check the amount of vertical shift your projector has.

bump up abit.. how to update my HD65 firmware for 3D aR?

I doubt you can with HD65

eh cant? saw some posting at net seems can....and the dealer i bought mine say can :S

nvm...later i going find him again....

now got own dedicated theater room liao

but no cabinet for my stuff like amp, center speaker and bd player yet

HD65 is only using HDMI v1.3b. It has to involve hardware change in order to get full 3D capability. Correct me if i am wrong. Could not be as simple as update f/w only.

Hmmm my cable is 1.4 now, and i was told that no need any fiware upgrade straight can use eh @@
pity I no b 3D movie to test now :S

It is true the hardware must be upgraded in order to be 3D compatibility. If I am not mistaken, a 3-D projector should have more than 3 bulbs, maybe 5 bulbs inside. The angle of each bulb is different from conventional 3 bulbs, they will project the image so it looks blur but with the spec on you will see it as 3-D.

3 bulbs? 5 bulbs bro, are you sure or not? you wanna make projector like oven? probably can get pizza melted.


The technique that make projector 3D capable is pretty similar to 3D flat panel TV, basically it creates two different left eye and right eye images at high frame rate (120Hz), for more detail, you can refer to http://www.projectorcentral.com/3d_projectors_technology.htm
