3D Compatible Projectors

This list is a supplement to The Illustrated 3D Movie List and lists single projectors that are capable of displaying stereoscopic 3D video and images.

Listed here are a wide range of DLP projectors that have been found to work effectively with time-sequential 3D in various connection interfaces and video formats. This list only includes DLP projectors - since LCD projectors are currently not compatible with time-sequential 3D video.

Additional technical information is available in the following technical paper from 2007: "The compatibility of consumer DLP projectors with time-sequential stereoscopic 3D visualisation".

Please note that I don't sell these projectors. The buy links will take you to various commercial providers, including Amazon.

+ more 120Hz 3D projectors (Professional and Cinema grade including Full-HD 3D) available from Christie Digital, Barco, NEC, and Digital Projection.

Please note: The information provided here is given in good faith based on information from manufacturers and other sources. 3DMovieList is unable to guarantee the 3D compatibility of all projectors listed here - especially those that haven't been tested. Projector manufacturers wishing to have their projectors verified for 3D compatibiity should contact Andrew Woods.

If you know of any other 3D compatible projectors, please drop me a line.

Additional technical information is available in the following technical paper: "The compatibility of consumer DLP projectors with time-sequential stereoscopic 3D visualisation".


The table below provides additional information about the 85Hz and 60Hz 3D compatibility of other DLP projectors.
(Note that 85Hz 3D has some flicker and 60Hz 3D has lots of flicker).

Please note: Some of the results in this table are based on user reports. Additionally, there is the possibility that manufacturers could change the capability of their projectors without notice. There are no guarantees that all projectors of a particular brand listed as being 3D compatible will all be 3D compatible.

If you know of any other 3D compatible or incompatible projectors, please drop me a line, or post a message here: http://www.stereo3d.com/cgi-bin/discus/show.cgi?tpc=3177&post=17542

Additional technical information is available in the following technical paper: "The compatibility of consumer DLP projectors with time-sequential stereoscopic 3D visualisation".
