Looking back, it's fair to suggest that Avatar's claim to have kickstart the 3D revolution is applicable to the big screen theaters and cinemas, but not so much for television. The news that James Cameron is going to make four Avatar sequels to his jaw-droppingly beautiful original, and that he is expecting his films to be a significant technological jump, is both a moment to revel in what is to come and to look back and admit that Avatar proved to be a false dawn for 3D TV. That's not to say that Avatar wasn't a startling success. Cameron's film remains the movie with the biggest box-office take, and it's harder and harder to watch a major film in just the two dimensions these days if you are venturing out for an evening of popcorn and the silver screen. Avatar But, in a time when manufacturers are taking 3D capabilities away from their sets, the reality is that it's just never captured the attention of this generation of consumers. If anything, it has been something of a millstone around TV manufacturers' necks as they try to convince us that the (much less gimmicky) brilliance of 4K or HDR is worth upgrading for. The future of viewing Cameron's Avatar was at the forefront of a generation of films built for 3D that briefly convinced the world that this was the future of viewing. It created a Steve Jobs-esque reality distortion that made us forget about the cumbersome glasses, the limiting factors of a small screen, compared to the joy of an IMAX, and the cost of an upgrade to our kit that would become a curate's egg of a feature. The head honcho at Sky Movies, Ian Lewis told me, almost five years ago, that he felt that Avatar was the moment that proved 3D had legs. "Avatar is, by a million miles, top of the tree," he asserted. "Avatar blew me away and for me it is a defining moment for 3D, up there with the moment that the ships flies over at the beginning of Star Wars or when Sam Neill turns around in Jurassic Park to see a dinosaur." Avatar eye But, although the first glimpse of that starship or that dinosaur on your television screen might not have had the same impact as on the big screen, seeing Avatar on a television showcased exactly why 3D was not the silver bullet the TV industry wanted it to be. Avatar on a television was diminished, muted and - without its impactful all-encompassing big-screen 3D focus - inevitably drifted to its hackneyed storyline. If that sounds over-critical of Avatar it isn't really meant to be, it's just that 3D was an inherent part of the experience. And, as UK Gizmodo editor Gerald Lynch pointed out after this article was first published, it wasn't helped by being made exclusive to a Blu-ray 3D player, limiting its availability to the wider audience. It's interesting to read our original thoughts on Avatar, after an invite to the opening 15 minutes. At the time I wrote; "I certainly feel excited about seeing Avatar in 3D, although I'm still not convinced that this will burst through the notion that 3D is a neat trick rather than the future of cinema." You can make a cogent argument that 3D's failure on television has been beneficial to movie theaters. That thousands of us flock to watch the latest blockbusters because of an experience that definitely embraces 3D. When James Cameron starts actually finishing his sequels rather than adding new ones to the end, it's going to be fascinating to see if this is a new dawn for television 3D, or just a continuance of cinema as the best place for the experience. Perhaps Pandora - the world he created - will become so utterly mesmerising that it will create a new reality distortion, or perhaps more likely it will encourage us to head to the nearest multiplex.
This is a review for Epson PowerLite Home Cinema 2030 1080p 3LCD Projector a step-to-step guide for you to watch 3D Movies with Epson PowerLite Home Cinema 2030 1080p 3LCD Projector. Ok I hardly ever write reviews but I thought about this quite a bit and read a lot before making this purchase so I thought I'd do my best to help others. Epson PowerLite Home Cinema 2030 3LCD Projector Review: I was one of the earliest adopters of the whole home cinema projector idea. I inherited what was at the time a $5000 state of the art Epson machine in 1999. We bought it for our dot com start-up. Afterwards I took it home and bought a screen. I figured out how to connect it to my cable and surround sound and it has worked great for nearly 15 years. recently it just died - I think it was the fan blades. So it was time to upgrade. I was all excited to find out I could replace it for as little as $400-$500 bucks. But then I found out there was a big divide between office powerpoint projectors and home cinema. When I originaly bought mine there was no difference. The guy at Office Depot told me that if I wanted it for movies that I'd be better off going to Best buy. I went to Best Buy and they only had like three choices in Home Cinema. I had rapidly figured out that in order to get true HD - i.e.. 1080 P the cost was like $1500 on up - ugh! I didn't want to spend that much. So I went on a crusade to find a 1080 P HD projector for under $1000 so I naturally went to Amazon. I read all kinds of reviews and went to sites like [...] which was very helpful. I finally narrowed it down to four all found on Amazon and studied at Projector Central:
- Optoma HD25 $949
- BenQ W1070 $884
- Mitsubishi HC 4000 $949
- Acer H6510BD $740
These were all very highly rated. I was really tempted to get the Acer for the price but the machine did not seem to be compatible with as many formats as the others. I was really torn and couldn't decide. Then I read about the brand new machine from Epson - the 2030 with full HD 1080 P and it was and LCD not DLP like all the others and most people I spoke with seem to think LCD is superior. It even is 3D capable and even though I don't watch 3D movies yet I figured it couldn't hurt to have the latest technology. Plus after 15 successful years with Epson I wanted to stick with the brand. In fact I really wanted to buy the 2000 (not the 2030) which is the internet version and retails for only $899 instead of $999. But it wasn't available and I needed a replacement of my broken machine. But even at $999 this was significantly cheaper than other Epson machines and it is clearly seen as a superior brand in this category which they basically invented. If you can get the 2000 for $899 that is the way to go as the specs are nearly identical. My expectations were high on what the image would be like but they were met in spades. The quality is truly crystal clear sharp like HD television. The one criticism is that the projector's zoom is too good. By that I mean it can project to an enormous image. But since I only have an 80 inch screen and I am using this in a 15 foot room it created a little problem for me. My old projector needed to be quite a distance away to fill the scrren, but the new projectors are much more powerful in terms of zoom. To get it to fit my screen properly, the projector needed to be only about 6-8 feet from the screen. This is a little bit of a pain because I wanted to put it in the cabinet at the back of my room. But from 15 feet or so it can't make an image of "only" 80 inches. In fact at that distance its close to twice as big. I've sorted this out but you may want to study the dimensions of your room and where your wires are. There are projectors know as "short throw". This may be the way to go but you will have to study this further. If you do a google search or check out the manufacturer's site you can find out the distance need to create x sized image. Basically there is a manual zoom on the projector like on binoculars - this can only do so much up or down the rest is accomplished by distance. The further away you are the bigger the image - the closer the smaller. Overall I am very pleased and I'm definitely keeping this machine. Its functionality and menus are far superior to my old machine and it is really easy to work with. Movies are awesome and so is football. I'm totally satisfied. The PowerLite Home Cinema 2030 is a very affordable, compact, and stylish looking 2D/3D video projector from Epson that utilizes 3LCD technology as a foundation to provide 1080p native resolution, further supported by strong B/W and Color light output, and up to a long 5,000 hour lamp life in standard operating mode. How to use Epson PowerLite Home Cinema 2030 3LCD Projector to watch 3D Movie Projector Placement: The Epson PowerLite Home Cinema 2030 is pretty is easy to place and set up. Step 1: Install a screen (size of your choosing) or use a white wall to project on. Step 2: Place projector on a table/rack or on the ceiling, either in front or rear of the screen at the distance from the screen that works best. Epson's screen distance calculator is a great help. For review purposes, I placed the projector on a mobile rack in front of the screen for easier use for this review. Step 3: Connect your source. The 2030 provides wired connectivity (HDMI, HDMI-MHL, component, composite, VGA, USB), but also allows an additional wireless LAN connectivity option via optional Wireless USB WiFi Adapter. Step 4: Turn on the source device that you plan to use - The 2030 will then automatically search for the active input source. You can also access the source manually via the remote control or use the onboard controls located on the side of the projector. Step 5: Once you turn everything on, you will see the screen light up, and the first image you will see is the Epson logo, followed by an message that the projector is searching an active input source. Step 5: Adjust the projected image. To fit the image onto the screen, raise or lower the front of the projector using the adjustable foot located on the front center bottom of the projector. You can further adjust the horizontal and vertical image placement using the Horizontal Keystone Correction slider located on the top of the projector, behind the lens, and/or Vertical Keystone Correction function accessible via the projector's menu system. Next, use the manual Zoom control located above and behind the lens to get the image to fill the screen properly. Once all the above procedures have been done, use the manual Focus control to fine tune the image appearance and also select the Aspect Ratio you desire.Video Performance The Epson PowerLite Home Cinema 2030 performs well, especially with HD sources, such as Blu-ray Discs. In 2D, color was very good, flesh tones were consistent, and both black level and shadow detail were more than acceptable, although not as deep and inky as higher-end projector would be able to provide. The 2030 can also project a viewable image in a room that may have some ambient light present, which is often encountered in a typical living room. Although there is a compromised in terms of contrast and black level in order to provide a sufficiently bright image in such a situation, the projected image do not look overly washed out until you turn on room lights. On the other hand, when the lights are off, or the room has very little ambient light, that is more typical of a home theater viewing environment, running the 2030 in ECO mode (for 2D viewing) still projects plenty of light to produce an excellent cinema-like image on fairly large screen sizes (my main screen was 100-inches).Deinterlacing and Upscaling of Standard Definition Material To further check the 2030's video processing performance, I conducted a series of tests using Silicon Optix (IDT) HQV Benchmark DVD (ver 1.4). Here the 2030 passed most of the tests, but did have trouble with some. There were inconsistencies in detecting some of less common frame cadences, and although it passed most of the deinterlacing tests with flying colors, it was just fair on one of the basic tests. Also, although detail enhancement looked good from standard definition sources connected via the HDMI, the 2030 did not enhance detail as well with sources connected via the composite video input.

3D gets more and more common, no matter on cinema, but also in home theater. After all, not every one like the environment in cinema, where it is filled with the noise of lovers' whispering and popcorn chewing. So if you want a really cool 3D experience at home, what do you need in your Home Theater to watch 3D? Thing 1: A 3D TV or 3D Projector Many TV manufactures have updated their main TV mode to support 3D. All 3D-enabled Televisions and Projectors will be able to work with the 3D standards now approved for Blu-ray and over-the-air, Cable, and Satellite transmission. (Tips: 3D TV Buying Guide) Thing 2: A 3D Blu-ray player, HD-Cable, or HD-Satellite Box Some old Blu-ray players you have possibly can't play 3D content. So please make sure that you have enabled your current Blu-ray player to support 3D via a downloadable firmware upgrade or just buy a new one current Blu-ray Disc players made 3D-capable.
Thing 3: 3D Content No 3D content, your 3D TV, 3D Projector or 3D Blu-ray player will means nothing. With the recent adoption of the 3D Blu-ray Disc standards, there should be some releases available at the same time that 3D TVs and Blu-ray Disc players and, I would hope, the firmware upgrade for many existing players become available. Also, you can download some 3D movies from 3D YouTube channel or YIFI site. Thing 4: 3D Glasses 3D Glasses is the most component in Home Theater to watch 3D content. There are two kinds of 3D glasses on the market currently: Passive or Active. simply to tell, passive type glasses are inexpensive to manufacture and would probably cost consumers $5 to $25 for each pair depending on the frame style, while active type of glasses are also more expensive than passive polarized glasses, ranging in price from $75 to $150 depending on the manufacturer. Additional tip: How to set up Home theater? In a basic setup that includes an television, AV receiver, a Blu-ray Disc or DVD player, and a VCR (or DVD recorder), below is an example of one approach. However, keep in mind the example below is only one of several possibilities. Specific setup variations are dictated by the capabilities and connections available on the specific components being used. Here's How: 1. Connect your satellite, cable, or antenna to your VCR (or DVD recorder) and then to the television. This will allow both your television and your VCR (or DVD recorder) to be able to receive broadcast, cable, or satellite signals, depending on what service you have. Note: If you have both a VCR and DVD recorder, you should have the incoming cable, satellite, or antenna signal split and connected to them separately, not from one to the other. 2. Connect the audio and video outputs of your VCR or DVD recorder to your AV receiver's VCR video inputs (if you have both a VCR and DVD recorder, use the AV receiver's VCR1 connections for the VCR and the VCR2 connections for the DVD recorder). 3. In turn, if your AV receiver has a set of audio and video outputs associated with inputs labeled "VCR" (also referred to as a VCR connection loop), connect those outputs to the audio and video inputs of your VCR or DVD recorder. This will allow your VCR or DVD recorder to record video signals that come through the AV receiver. Note: Where you have both a VCR and DVD recorder connected to the AV receiver, you can dub non-copyprotected video tapes and DVDs between the two units via the AV receiver. More tips: 1. Many Blu-ray discs have region codes, which can't be played simply on your old Blu-ray player. In this case, you don't need to change your Blu-ray to a new one. Pavtube BDMagic andBDMagic for Mac can easily rip any encrypted and region-locked Blu-ray to 3D MP4/MKV for your 3D TV or 3D Projector.
