3D Compatible ProjectorsThis 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. Andrew Woods

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. Please do your own homework. Manufacturers wishing to have their products verified for 3D compatibiity should contact 3DMovieList.
Notes: *1: With some projectors, the brightness in 3D mode is significantly less than the brightness in 2D mode. One reason for the drop is due to the 50% duty cycle in 3D mode, but can be more if one of the colour wheel segments (usually the white) gets turned off in 3D mode. Currently very few projector manufacturers specify what the brightness in 3D mode is - but they should, since it can be very different to the 2D brightness. This was particularly noted with the "Viewsonic PJD6220-3D" but will probably also be the case with other projectors.
*2: Throw Ratio - For video projectors this ratio is the throw distance divided by the width of the projected image. A fixed throw projector can only change the image size by moving the projector closer or farther from the screen. Video projectors with a zoom feature can adjust the image size by zooming in or out, while leaving the projector itself unmoved. (Source: acmehowto.com)

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
