Now if only it wasn't in red, had low input lag, and cheap lamp 🙂

Indeed, lamp replacement can easily become a game-killer, probably not cheap with those specs.

Does anybody know if this projector works with Nvidia 3D vision 2 ?

Not sure if LED projectors would be widely adopted by gamers, especially hard-core ones. For watching movies, all kinds of celebration/vacation pics and videos, presentation stuff, Youtube... they are nice, but... Last winter I've convinced all of my my three kids (and few kids from our neigbourhood) age from 8 to 14 to play games via my nice BenQ LED projector. I`ve placed projector and screen in kids room, distance between their eyes and projection screen was somewhere from 2.5m to 3m, picture was 1080p 16:9 proportional and a bit more than 1.5m wide, rich colors, great sharpness. My personal impressions were great, I thought kids would be more than impressed while playing on such huge screen, but kids... Kids were somewhat disappointed, all of them said that gaming on such wide screen was at least weird experience. There was no projection delay problem (if my oldest 14y.o. kid confirms there is no delay I believe him), they had tried playing just with headphones and later with 5.1 speakers (for all of us arround to enjoy surround sound effects, although all of us arround we were dead silent) but almost all of them said thay had a problem to focus themselves on action on such a big&wide screen in games they tried: CS:GO, BF4, Payday 2, Team Fortress 2, Minecraft... It was impressive for us all around (at least for me it was) to watch gameplay but for those playing in front of the projection screen it was nothing more then a struggle. My oldest kid (that kid plays any game like an alien) was obviously playing worse then ever, after few days of struggle while trying to adapt himself he simply gave up: can't focus on action and that's it! Picture is just too big! After few days of pain not a single kid had a will to game on a big screen, not even the youngest ones who were thrilled at first to play Minecraft... so I gave up on this, kids went to their gaming rigs and 21.5"-24" screens and everything back to normal. Still not sure what went wrong, tried to play myself and it was OKish on my side, but I don't game for a while so guess my oppionion is no valid anymore when it comes to gaming these days. Kids clearly said their oppinion about this: never again! ...and that is the ony valid standpoint from today gamers I guess.

Unless you sit far enough away from the screen where you can see everything within your field of vision, big screens like that are not good for gaming. You're supposed to use your eyes to look around the screen, not your head.

yeah I would agree, I play console on a 48 inch TV, that 1.5 meter would be around 60 inch? might be a little too much...

My older kid said that looking at the 1.5m wide projection screen from 2.5m-3m distance is way too much for him, FOV i.e. picture generated by projector is just too big/wide for his taste, but... But I caught him often staring at his 24" at just maybe 30cm from the screen (sometimes even less than 25cm) while playing CS:GO and then screen/FOV is not too big for his eyes!? 😕 Hate to measure but guess picture on 24" screen from 25cm-30cm distance looks even biger/wider than looking at the 1.5m projection screen from 2.5m-3m distance. His eyes are OK btw and it`s not the first time I saw kids (my own and kids from my friends/relatives) game so close to the screen. I don't know what´s wrong with this new generation of gamers, or maybe something is wrong with me... :bonk: At least old style porns recorded at 4:3 looks much better projected to 1.5m wide projected screen at 16:9... those boobs :bigsmile:

for anything that isnt an FPS shooter i play on my optoma hd141 at about 100" from 3m away, you can pick up minor details so easily when they spread over a greater area, and if you have to move your head to track things you're sitting too close, i'd say the opposite happens to me, i cant move much because i lose part of the screen if i lay too flat on my bed i just wonder who the hell would buy a projector and use its built in speakers, why are they there in the first place? i'd rather have better/quieter cooling, at least they dont pack a damn phone OS with wifi like hdtvs do today
