New to 3d, I cant make my acer 5360 3D

[2R3R2]

Good day to you all,

I am new to 3D, May ask some help from you guys how I can make this work.....

Currently I have an Acer 5360 connected by a DVI-HDMI to a PC that is 1.7mhz core 2 duo with 8600GT 512mb GPU running windows xp pro.

I made some 3d glasses out of colored paper (red/blue) to watch some downloaded 3D movies using the stereoscopic player. but there is no luck:(

I am only into 3D movies, not games

Tried and played all the settings with the player, the PC's display, the projector's display. still cant get it done.

What are the things I need to buy or replace for my current setup to watch downloaded 3D movies (sharkboy, coraline, etc)? what settings do I need to tweak?

Is 3D vision the only way for us to watch 3D movies at home? (US199/kit)


Thank you

Hi and welcome! Your glasses might be the nasty thing here. Just trying to make a pair of something you find won't most of the times work out too well. The filters needs to be good to yield a good result. Check Here for good glasses link. Myself i have a pair of glasses with discofilters from lee which works splendid. It's more an easy route getting readymade ones though.

How to test if your glasses are fine or not:
Put the glasses on and watch the image with each eye. The left eye should see the "left" text, same for the right. Any leakthroughs is signs of ghosting.
Standard anaglyph glasses which works well but shows some ghosting: http://www.mtbs3d.com/gallery/displayim ... ?pos=-2457" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Lee-filters which shows very little ghosting. http://www.mtbs3d.com/gallery/displayim ... ?pos=-2456" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

To play the media with stereoscopic player: Be sure to choose the correct inputformat of the vid. Then choose anaglyph red/cyan (one of the modes available).

hmm are the colors correct? even a slight variation may increase the unwanted doubling and make the movies hard to watch

depends on whether you want to watch em in anaglyph (cheap) or full-color 3d

nope, numerous options exist - you can use a large tv screens are capable of 120hz / 3d ready + shutterglasses, or smaller 22' screens like zalman, iz3d, etc

Well any display, including your projector, can work with anaglyph (ie red/cyan). Its possible you did not get the right filters or something else went wrong when making the glasses. I would recommend getting a pair of the Pro-Ana anaglyph glasses which sell for around $10. Those are very nice quality and will work fine with the Stereoscopic Player. However keep in mind the certain DVDs use other colors (like Coraline uses green/magenta I believe). But if you are using the Stereoscopic Player one full 3d content (like left right streams) then you can set it to the colors you want (probably red/cyan).

Also, that Acer H5360 is compatible with Nvidia 3D Vision. With the $200 kit and an upgrade to your computer you could be viewing cinema quality 3D at home. Something to thing about.

it can be used for pictures/movies but not much more

WTF are you talking about?!? The H5360 is fully compatible with 3D Vision, games, movies, you name it.

The problem is his graphics card (8600).
