alright. i want 3d bad! i love it. i got a pretty good gaming comp with 8800gts 640mb (might upgrade soon), phenom six-core cpu. I really wanna do 3d on the pc, watch movies, play some games. I also want to watch 3d on an optoma hd65 dlp projector and possibly get the ps3 running 3d on a 40in lcd thats not 3d, its just a class tv.

http://www.3d-vip.com/ i was lookin at this site and it looked legit but does it really work??? can i buy the low-end one to work on everything I have

What would be the best option for me and at the same time cost-effective. Ive been running through the forums and saw how some others are doing it and I really need some professional advice. Thanks, Justin!

Here is the link to the 3D upgrade for your projector:

Here are instructions:

Here is a thread with people that have done it (I recommend reading the whole thing before trying):

Then to play games and watch movies in 3D you will need a pair of DLP-Link glasses (the Ultra-Clear ones are supposed to be good, $60). You may be able to play games with the IZ3D driver, though I am not sure about this (probably). For watching movies it may be more complicated. You might want to purchase the VIP 3D-Gamer from that site ($200). That will allow you to hook up a PS3 and watch Blu-Ray 3D or play 3D games with the Optoma projector.

A 2D HDTV will not work in 3D, although some people may claim it will (if it does it will look like crap).

wow i didnt know about the upgrade. is there anyway around buying the hardware to view 3d or do I need to have it??

Obviously you need the glasses to see in 3D. That VIP 3D-Gamer is only necessary if you want to use the PS3 (games, Blu-Ray 3D). You should be able to use the IZ3D to play PC games without any additional hardware. There is a 30-day free trial so you can test it out and see if it works with your system.
