Mitsubishi "3D ready" DLP - Blu-ray Forum

dncpunke · 03-27-2010, 02:08 PM

I have the WD-60735 3D ready TV.

Will this set plus the PS3 (with upgraded firmware) be enough for 3D?

I know that glasses and emitter will also be necessary.

I hope I do not have to buy another TV and blu ray player. If that is the case, I will be waiting for some time to adopt 3D.

EDIT: After doing some searching it seems that mitsubishi will be selling a converter box 3DC-1000 3D adapter to "switch those right/left images to the checkerboard format Mitsubishi uses"

So it looks like I may possibly be in the 3D mix after all without having to buy new tv and blu player....time will tell I guess.

From everything I have read, the ps3 is 3d compatible through firmware. The tv is capable, but you may need a converter box to work out the signal from the ps3 to the tv, but thats all. Those two components should work together for 3d.

I'm in the same boat. I bought my MITSUBISHI 73" DLP WD73736 Rear Projection, 3-D ready in April of 2009. Mine came with the emitter. Just waiting to hear what else I need besides the glasses and the Blu-Ray player.

I don't think these TVs are truly Blu-Ray 3D ready.

A local appliance chain ABC Warehouse had the 60" advertised for something like $900. According to the specs, and it has HDMI 1.3a compatibility. Blu-Ray 3D requires HDMI 1.4.

That is the exact thing that troubles me. But if the PS3 is not 1.4 compliant and can be upgraded via firmware to be 3D capable, I am hoping that solves the issue.

But the TV would still be only 1.3. Unless there's some kind of TV firmware update coming....

Yes that is true...guess we are still at the wait and see stage

HDMI v.4 is required for 1080P 3D. The PS3 will only be capable of 1080i 3D at half-resolution (i.e. 540 X 1920). Therefore HDMI v.3 will suffice. And yes, I believe that Mitsubishi adapter will be required....I'm planning on getting one to go with my Sammy LED DLP.

I have a four year old 57833 Mits which along with the adapter kit puts out a fantastic 3D picture. The three models in the 833 series were the first "3D Ready" DPLs produced by the company. With the addition of a 3D player I have a great 3D experience without having to upgrade at the moment. Shows how forward-thinking Mitsubishi was even five years ago.

Yep, that's one of the reasons I stick with Mitsubishi. They make a fantastic TV and their prices beat everyone else.

A buddy of mine just experienced 3D for the first time on my set and loved it. He has a wd-57833 which requires an adapter. It is not an upgradable model. I remember seeing them for around $100 before being discontinued, but they are now being gauged like crazy. If anyone on here recently upgraded their set and do not require one of the three adapters 3da-1, 3dc-100s, or 3dc-1000, anymore please let me know. I felt bad telling him it would cost 500 now just to use his 3D feature. It would be nice to turn another over to our side.

I came here to ask about exactly that. I have a 60638 but never got around to picking up the Mitsubishi starter pack. I figured that now Mits has announced they're exiting the DLP TV business maybe the prices have come down a bit. I was completely wrong; they're selling for $150+ more now then when they were being sold new. Is it just all the holdouts like me finally getting around to buying them resulting in a spike in demand?
