Re: What does a 3D ready projector need to connect to a 3D b

It depends on what you want to use to playback your movies. An htpc or a hardware 3d blu-ray player. Using a computer will most likely be the best way but maybe the most expensive. The type of projector to look for with both input plugin types is "hdmi 1.4a" and "vga" or "dvi-d" branded 3d-ready with optional dlp link glasses going at "120hz" at native resolution. Now you can get projectors that have a native resoltion at somewhere like 800x600 BUT, I'd try and get something in 720p 120hz 3d ready. Acer has a good selection and also Optima, maybe even benQ.
If your going to only use vga as a stereo3d connection then you will have to use a computer htpc with blu-ray drive and stereo3d playback software and at least a quad core cpu or a compatable mvc codec hardware acceleration gfx card.
If you get a projector with hdmi 1.4a input, then you could connect a playstation3, standalone 3d blu-ray player and a computer using the framepacking format.
I think some projectors that have hdmi1.4a and vga input on the same projector, will allow you to use both connections for stereo.
