Has anyone got lucky with watching 2D content in 3D using this projector? I tried PowerDVD. It converts my 2D movies to sequential 3D just fine but HD33 won't recognize it. In Arcsoft Total Media Player, I don't get an option to convert 2D to 3D.

you dont do it in the software, you let the PJ do it. tbh, the 2d to 3d conversion in ANY pj is never very good.

While I have not done that setup myself, it should still work. Just keep in mind, in my opinion, the 3D conversion feels a little off. Playing an actual 3D source through it works great though.

Yes. The default setting is 2D. In the menu if you want to watch in 3D you would have to click on that option

the panel has a 3D enable option along with the ability to adjust the scene depth to add more 3D effect. However, I do recommend getting software. I am using a radeon 6850 so I bought tridef 3D software and use that with AMD hdmi 1.4 3D out and I must say the software gives better quality but of course with some sacrifice of performance.

From what ive read you have to play the 3d movie through your computer with addtl software. Download the users manual for the projector and it will explain the 3d

To get 3D movies, I think you need another attachment/filter. It's default is 2D.

Yes. Out of the box, it is set up as non-3D. To get 3-D, you have to toggle to that setting. I have not tried to use it in 3-D yet and probably won't until I want to play a 3-D DVD. Hope this helps.

Yes, 2D can be watched on this set-in fact, its the principle reason I bought mine-not for the 3D but the 2D picture. A TV needs more processing power to handle 3D which also improves the 2D experience. That said, this set will also upscale ANY 2D picture to 3D. which I have found to be a good thing. The worst thing about this set is its remote. I would much prefer an "old style" remote as opposed to the touch screen, voice recognition, etc. It simply doesn't work as well.

The best thing to do is to bug a 3D player and connect the player on a 3D projector/TV e.g. Epson PowerLite. and play a 3D ready movie (don't forget to wear your 3D glasses). any other combinations except above may not be the same, in other words, not the best thing.

You need an 'eligible' 3D BluRay player for that. To my knowledge, no TV by itself can convert 2D to 3D unless there is a tuner in the unit for that specific purpose.

I've been told it does not work with 3D. I'm presuming the reason Sony is dropping the price now is that a new version is coming out that fixes the gracenote problems (hard to deal with discs that are not on gracenote) AND the next version will be 3D capable. This is strictly a guess, but every other Sony Bluray player is now 3D capable except this one. And since all the 3D movies aren't coming out unitl later this fall...I should just go and put in a 3D movie and see though. Sony's support on this player does seem to be a bit weak.

If you stream Netflix 3D movies through your computer, you will not see them in 3D, even WITH converter AND 3D graphics card. (I have both Optoma 3D-XL Nvidia Geforce GT640 and I can't watch Netflix stream in 3D) I am considering upgrade to Optoma HD25LVRight now I am considering upgrade to Optoma HD25V

The HDTV has an option to turn on 3D, and by default is in 2D. To answer your question, yes you can use it for 2D only.

Usually there is an option on the disc to watch the show in 3d. There are not too many hybrid discs - I know of only one that I have - most movies have a separate 3D disc. Shorter answer - you don't have to do anything on the player. Do other 3d discs work fine? If so, its an issue with the authoring on the hybrid disc, not the player

Thanks for the response. Let me know if a 3D movie plays in this player as I am very interested in purchasing this unit.

No surfing but instant connections to netflix hulu etc are great. There is no such thing as 2d to 3d conversion. Lack of 3d programming and movies makes this a feature for the future but overall best picture ive ever seen and i upgrade every year!

you have to have 3d sent to the projector. Some bluray players such as sony may up convert.
