The Epson Home Cinema 2150 is the best overall projector.

Epson recommends you use the Epson RF 3D active shutter glasses as they have been optimized for Full-HD 3D quality with Epson projectors. However, you can also use Epson-compatible RF 3D active shutter glasses with Full-HD RF 3D certification.

Pairing the 3D Glasses with the Projector

1. Turn on the projector.
2. Set the image source to HDMI.
3. Project a 3D image.
4. Slide the power switch on the 3D glasses to the On position.
5. Move the glasses within 10 feet (3 m) of the projector, then hold down the Pairing button on the glasses for at least three seconds.

How do I view 3D images?

1. Connect a 3D-compatible video device to the projector using a compatible HDMI cable.
2. Turn on the video device, then turn on the projector.
3. Begin playback from the video device.
4. Turn on the 3D glasses.
5. Put on the 3D glasses and view the projected image.

Yes. Your Samsung 3D glasses will work with your Epson projector without much trouble.

You cannot play 3D movies using a normal projector, because standard projectors do not have the hardware to pick manage 3D signals. This means that they will not be able to interpret 3D image data or project 3D images.

The simple answer to this question is yes. As with flat-screen displays there are many projectors on the market that support 3D viewing. 3D Ready simply means the projector supports at least one of the available 3D input formats, so if a projector is labelled as 3D ready then it will support 3D viewing.

3D ready usually means that you will need to add a box to control the shutters on the glasses. Full 3D usually means that that shutter control is built into the projector.

You do not need a special screen in order to view images from a typical 3D projector. While some features may help enhance the image, a special screen is not required when using a 3D projector.

Can you use a projector without a screen? The simple answer is yes! But using a projector without a screen will decrease the quality of the viewable image. A simple white wall will definitely provide a good surface for an image to be projected, but there are definitely some downsides to it.

3D projection mapping, also known as video mapping or simply “projection mapping”, is the art and science of using physical spaces and objects as the surface for a projection, instead of a conventional screen. The end result is a visually striking, almost “magical” effect that has to be seen to be fully experienced.

Fear not, today’s home entertainment projectors sporting 3D start around $500 for 720p resolution, and from $699 for full 1080p with 3D. Still moving up from entry level needs to get you up to around $900 – $1000 with popular projectors from BenQ and Epson and Optoma as excellent examples.

Yes, 3D is still worth it! Nothing beats immersive viewing, especially combined with immersive audio w/ATMOS or DTS:X.

In general, 4K projectors cost more than $1,000; a few projectors priced under $1,000 accept a 4K signal but scale the resolution down to 1080p. If you’re interested in a 4K projector, you can find them in our guides to the best projector for a home theater and the best home projector for a living room.

The average projection mapping service costs about $10,000 per one-minute of 3D video content. But in addition to the cost of the video development time, you’ll also need to take into consideration the cost of the projectors, media server, and hard drive.

To project in daylight, you need at least a 2500 lumens projector – while the recommended number is 3600 lumens to get a great mixture of brightness, contrast, and color accuracy. Yet, projecting in daylight is simpler said than done.

While LCD projectors have a sharper image and superior picture quality, DLP projectors are lighter, portable, and considered to be more reliable. DLP (Digital Light Processing) technology uses micro-mirrors to project images from a monitor onto a large screen.

Older projector lamps generally lasted between 1,000 – 2,000 hours. Fortunately, more recent projector lamps last between 2,000 – 4,000 hours depending on the various settings used in an environment.

Over time these air filters become dirty. If they become too blocked then air can’t circulate, and the projector starts to overheat. You should always check your air filters on a regular basis. Depending on your model, you may need to replace the entire air filer rather than clean it.
