Yes, this means support for 1080p at 60Hz per eye on 3D displays over HDMI if you wondered...

Finally. Thats what I'm talking about. Funny thing, I probably will still buy the 720P projector I had my eyes on.

Same here, I had my eye on this one, Acer H5360BD - Colorboost 3D, http://www.projectorshop24.co.uk/acer-projector/acer-projector_acer-h5360bd-colorboost-3d.html?utm_source=froogle_uk&utm_medium=froogle_uk&utm_campaign=froogle_uk
What do you think? It a 720 p projector or I go back to the Samsung 1080p 3d 32 inch LED, http://www.johnlewis.com/231209827/Product.aspx?SearchTerm=RecentlyViewedList

I can make my mind up?

-this resolution freakshow hurts pc gaming like no other.

SilverSurfer, I think it mainly depends on your usage. If you have enough space for a projector, I'd say go for it. Even in 2D it's leagues away from a 32" TV (which I also own) in terms of immersion, and In 3D it's even greater. And the Samsung LED are not supposed to be the best bang for the buck in 3D TVs, a lot more ghosting than anything out there. DLP projectors are on a different planet.

@Silversurfer: Yes, that Acer H5360BD is the one I have my eyes one. Seemed to get decent reviews from people on AVS (though some said it was too bright in 2D, no problem for me as I want 3D only). There is no US release date, but I will just save money in the meantime.

Too bright in 2D ? Don't they know they can modify the brightness or use the ECO mode ?

Yes, it doesn't make sense to me either, but at least 2 people said that. Overall people seem to be happy with it, and the original model got rave reviews from most users.
