Q: QuestionCan this projector play 3d movies? If so what glasses do I need to buy?

Asked 4 years ago by Techman.

• A:Answer Yes it does! Supports all HDMI 1.4a mandatory 3D formats (Frame pack, side-by-side, top-bottom) and up converts frame rate from 60Hz to 120Hz or 24Hz to 144Hz (i.e. 60 or 72 frames per eye). 3D glasses are needed and sold separately. Refer to user manual for details. Ordered mine today... can't wait to give it a try

Q: Questionhow many inches does it project

Asked 4 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer 120” is the max; works best with taller ceilings. I’m trying it out in my basement, which has a 93” ceiling- the projector has to be about 11” off the floor to fit that ceiling height. Also, the SmartFIT doesn’t work reliably, and if you put into game mode, you lose any manual settings. I have until 10/24 to return it; jury is still out. Also, though I’m using an ALR screen, still a poor picture in ambient light, and still a bit dark image with lights out. I suspect the unit would work better with a higher ie, 9 ft or taller ceiling. Hope that helps!

Asked 3 years ago by Dadoftwoboys.

• A:Answer Optoma released a firmware update and many people had an unknown error on their mainboard. The firmware update exposed this and it must be returned to Optoma for repair for most people. It should be under warranty since this projector is less than a year old since release. Contact Optoma for service.

Q: QuestionThis projector work on spandex fabric screen?

Asked 3 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer I don't see why not. That's what I used for a while. I've since upgraded to a better quality reflective screen that's stretched on a metal frame. I didn't like the way the spandex moved with the wind.
