Will this projector stream SBS 3D movies from a media player directly? Do I just need the 3D Glasses?

Yes.you only need the glasses and activate the 3d sbs in the projector menu.

Yes, but "limited"...see Consumer Reports review (from their archives). I simply use my bluray player's smart features instead; I recently upgraded a few of my players...found (on Craigslist) a NIB Sony 5100 and a Samsung 5900 for $50 and $45 respectively...both are fully up to date and 3D capable.

Active 3D glasses. I purchased the Sain Sonics because they were a reasonable price. The brand hasn't seemed to make a difference in function. The big thing to know is that you require a 3D converter to make the projector visible to the blu-ray player. They run about $200 from Optoma and Viewsonic. Totally worth it though because it's still less than an actual 3D projector, running over a thousand dollars.

you need both a 3d player such as your (blueray) and a 3d tv OR 3d projector in order to watch a 3d movie , you will also need the corresponding glasses designed to go with your projector or tv

So by simply having the projector hooked up to a ps3 i won't be able to do 3d movies and games? Well.. with DLP link glasses?

I have never used the 3D. It works GREAT in HD. One caveat: You do NOT want to view it in a well-lit room. You need blinds on your windows. I have it in my bedroom and it works GREAT. Think of the environment you'd want if you were watching a slide show or 8mm home movie on a projector screen.

Check if the projector is 3D DLP - Link. If it is, then the glass will work fine.

I have a benq w1080p (same but short throw version) as long as you have your 3D content (I use my laptop but a 3D blu ray player would also work) connected with an HDMI cable it will work. The projector sends the signal to the glasses based on what is coming in through the HDMI cable.

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. any other combinations except above may not be the same, in other words, not the best thing.

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

blubal42, Not at all. You can choose to view 3-D and use the glasses (which ARE required for 3-D). Otherwise, it will act and operate just like any other 2-D television. Thanks for your interest in Samsung products. --Mr. S

It is 3D capable. If you have a 3D capable blu-ray player and if you can actually find (they are rare) 3D blu-ray movies or special events OR if your cable, dish, or whatever provider you use offers a program in 3D then you will be able to watch it in 3D IF you also purchase 3D glasses. Otherwise you will never know the difference and the likelyhood of ever using it is practically nil. Technology is working on improving 3D for home use in TV's to be viewed without glasses but they say it is still a few years away. This tv being 3D should not influence your decision to buy unless you have a special need for 3D (rare).

No this does not have 3d. I would not recommend these models as they have short bulb life . Maybe its a heating issue.I noticed the 3020 or 5030 which supports 3D now has vents both sides of the bulb, no idea if this would help as I don't have this make. Regarding the importance of 3D that is a personnel choice if you want to buy blue-ray 3D films to watch. If you do then you need a 3D projector if you don't then obviously there is no need. Note the models I mentioned include Two RF 3D glasses. Which you need to use to watch 3D . Hope this helps.

This unit does not use the DLP link glasses but does need the Active RF glasses. No need for a separate 3D transmitter.

There's no need for the converter box. The projector will accept and display pretty much any 3d format. It can accept 3d via hdmi 1.4 (such as from a blue ray 3d disc and player) automatically. You can manually select the 3d format as well if it is not a 1.4 source (like a side-by-side 3d video file.).
