how to make HTPC 3D compatible to PJ? gotta change graphic card?

Need to get a 3D compatible graphic card like Ati 6xxx series and Nvidia 5xx series, i heard Nvidia 4xx and Ati 5xxx series also working with some work around but in order to cut out all the hassle, I direct switched from Ati5750 to Nvidia 550 to enable 3D in term of graphic card.

some guy claim 'nvidia 3d vision confirmed working on hd65 '

I received this e-mail too

Hope it will have the same free upgrade for HD20.

Something to share

My HD65 bulb blow after giving good 1900 hours of service. Seems there is only two options to get a replacement bulb that i know off;
1. www.vismart.com.my - bulb = RM570, service charge = RM80 , +++?
2. Ebay - bulb price ranges from RM240 - RM600+, shipment = ++

Vismart not open on weekends so i took the gamble to buy at ebay which turn out to be a good decision. Total cost came about RM360 (bulb=60GBP, shipping=10GBP). I received the bulb within a week from DHL. The new bulb looks exactly identical with my existing bulb. Here is the link http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...em=150861265250

The new bulb came without the casing so the replacing part was a bit challenging because the old bulb plastic casing has become "fragile" due to bulb heat. During the process I broke one power connector hook and one screw which was holding the bulb. After with much effort i manage to push the bulb casing back in the HD65 compartment. To my surprise it worked like charm, and the best part is the picture quality is way much better now. Actually the brightness and picture quality has faded over time on the old bulb but guess i did not notice it until i changed it with the new one.

Most probably i will change the next one with the casing and definitely way before it reaches end of life.

Thanks for sharing - my projector is also HD65 but will consider to upgrade to 1080P or 3D projector. As now the price of HD21 (1080P) and HD33(3D) is getting cheaper.

any one know where to get this 'Requires Optoma DLP® LinkTM active shutter glasses – sold separately' for 3D viewing?

Anyone checked HD21 vs HD20? How's Darkchip3 vs Darkchip2?

The HD21 is definitely a lot brighter than HD20. With ambient light, the HD21 did not appear to be 'wash out'. The HD20 is not able to acheive that. Also, the color reproduction as well as contrast of HD21 is marginally better. Both were being tested in dedicated HT rooms.
