There a couple of clear differences between these to projectors. If you are going to buy either the Optoma GT720 or the Optoma HD66 which are the two I prefer you have to choose based on features. First of all, they are both 720p which means you will get a pretty good image (if you want the best bang for the buck pay a little more and get the Optoma HD20 which has the best picture quality since its 1080p). The Optoma GT720 has no zoom lens which means if you are going to mount it on the ceiling you have to measure the exact distance from the screen. It also has a short throw lens which means you can get a 100 inch screen with 4 or 5 feat of distance. Finally, it has a 16:10 aspect ratio which means it is more for gaming and less for movies but there is a minimal difference in the picture size and the bulb on the GT720 in economy mode is rated 5000 hours. The Optoma HD66 is rated on to 4000 hours, has a 16:9 aspect ratio which is better for watching movies (with the black border), has a throw range of 10-11 feet for a 100 inch screen, and finally does have a zoom feature which lets you calibrate the distance with the zoom.

i think you are wrong you will need the optoma 3d-xl and the Viewsonic pjd6531w is compatible with it so goodluck, i wanted to get this projector but i wasnt sure if it was going to work with the optoma 3d-xl so i bought optoma hd66 then i knew it was compatible.

you can use standard 3d glasses or 3d glasses with built in Emitters.yes you can use a ps3 with this projector. The projector is very light it probably only weighs about 5 pounds.

Yes, I used this projector to replace an optoma HD20. Mine is also ceiling mounted, I used the same mount in the same location.

Hd600x is 3d ready like all other dlp 3dready projectors( i.e. optoma hd 67). Will work with optoma 3d xl perfectly. This converter can be used as a cheaper alternatve to 3d xl box? Thanks.!

Biltz, I was so disapointed with Epson, that I will never buy a epson product again. they do not stand behind their product!.. I replace it with a Vivitek H1180HD bougth at Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Vivitek-H1180HD-Blu-Ray-Theater-Projector/dp/B00FJ1Q5SQ/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid;=1421444429&sr;=8-12&k;eywords=vivitek+projector&pebp;=1421444439818&peasin;=B00FJ1Q5SQ). Same or better specs as far screen size , throw, distance, etc.. with much more vivid colors and 3D capabilities.. Price about the same... I am very happy with the Vivtek.

Hello Gary; Sorry I can't help you with the comparison between the HD33 and the Epson 5030UB. I have a Optoma GT700 3D and purchased the Epson 5030UB in December. It has great color, clarity and brightness. I use my as a portable for playing mainly blurays. One nice feature is the zoom. Once I get the picture within the area of the screen I can use the zoom to square it in to the frame. The reviews I read convinced me to wait until this projector was available. Hope this helps.

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

Bitstream Dolby True HD and DTS HD bitstreams with no loss. 1080p @ 24fps output. If you have the harware to utilize these things as I do then it really isnt a choice. PS3 cannot do these things and you will be bottlenecking the blu rays potential at the very source. If you dont have a 1080p TV capable of 24fps or a reciever capable of decoding lossless audio then yes. A Ps3 would probably serve you just as well since these features wont be applicable to you.

I'm not much of a gamer, but I have used this console to play with my PS3. I have nothing negative to say about this projector. Just so you know, it will not display in 1080p, the best resolution you will get is 720p. It supports 1080p but the screen will scale the image to 720p. Still pretty good definition IMO.Hope it helps.

There are only one. Also, I had to return my glasses as Optoma projectors are not 3D compatible with Sony Playstations which is my preferred hard drive for watching movies and gaming. So be careful that your video device will work with your Optoma projector for 3D movies.

I honestly can't remember how I got them to work. I think there is an option in the Optoma menus that state what mode of 3D to use. I happened to find DLP Link was one of the options, but this was after about an hour of messing around with it. To be completely honest I sent these glasses back because of the comfort issue. I ended up going with a model from Quantum. Much more comfortable, and I don't feel like I'm looking under them. Once you get the projector set up properly you won't need to mess with it anymore. 2D movies will play normally and it will automatically go back to DLP Link when it detects a 3D signal. After you get the projector into DLP Link mode, keep in mind there is an 'invert mode' some movies you may need to press the power button once or twice to flip between modes, otherwise the picture looks funny. I can't explain it, but you will probably recognize it when you see it. It's like instead of projecting out towards you it's projecting in away from you. Good luck getting it set up. Again it took me awhile to figure it out, but hopefully you will have better luck.

I hook my PS3 to this monitor using one of the side hdmi ports. I believe you cannot use the DVI or the hdmi port that is on the rear of the panel. the PS3 will play 3D blu rays just fine. For a PC you should use the DVI port to get the 120hz refresh rate.

No, the best hdmi projector for the money is the Acer H5360. Although it is worth noting that if you're planning on using 3D capabilities with game consoles or blu ray players, rather than computers, you have to have the Optima 3DXL converter box as well. I hope this helps.

DLP Active Shutter glasses. I have had difficulty getting my PS3 to recognize it as a 3D device, but it works perfectly connected directly to my Toshiba 3D bluray player. Make sure you are using a newer HDMI cable which supports 3D. I got this projector to lose the scalar box that I needed for my previous projector and love it. It is the brightest projector for the money. I think its between 6 to 8 pounds.
