fourk I tried using it for my DVR hard drive and it did not work for me either. No biggie my DVR has HDMI, but would have been nice if it did work. I'm sure there is a way, but I don't know yet.

Congrats and me too have one.

I think the mini-USB is for updating the firmware only. There is no mention of it being used to connect a hard disk or play through that.
You can check the readme of the projector, it mentions that!

i am projecting to the wall which is light green in color, as i ordered a screen just a week back only.

Here are some pics (Car's bluray disc and ISL) that i already shared in the Acer 5370Bd thread too.

Hi, guys!

I am also thinking about buying Acer H5380BD, but all the Internet pics and you tube videos look a bit washed out of color. Is the picture from Acer H5380BD really washed out of color or it is only accidental that the pics look like that? Because if you will compare it with BENQ W1070 for example the picture from BENQ W1070 looks fantastic.

 

[afterlife2]

Hi pmusiaowski No the picture is excellent. You are never going to get the exact quality in a camera picture. It's stunning in person.

Well put up the 100(really 92 inch and huge in my tiny apt.) screen in the afternoon yesterday and I must say it looks amazing.:yahoo: I thought that I would never own a PJ, but with Fuzz thread it made me wonder if I should get one? They have come down in price, so I thought hey why not? I found one on ebay refurb for a great price. The DVD's(Shakira) don't fare as well on a large screen(50-60 inch it looks amazing), but looks decent if you are a bit back in your chair. The SQ on the BD of course is great though. Now the Stevie Wonder BD Live In London looks AMAZING.:clapping: I moved up closer and the PQ/SQ was amazing. It shockingly just breath taking. I can't wait till my family comes over to check it out. The 3D demo from AVS that Fuzz suggested looked amazing and had me ducking, lol. I 'd never been to a 3D movies in the theater, only as a kid they had one on TV that was kinda cool, but not great. So I didn't want to waste money on it. Well guess what? I really like it. Anyways here are some pics I took yesterday:




As you can see the PQ is really nice, but of course way better in person.

How much does this cost?

 

[afterlife2]

krishnamurthy got it for less than $300 on ebay US. Might be more there. They go for $450 new.

 

[ajay0722]

hi all,

planning to take a plunge on 3D projector.... One of my friend will be returning from US in two weeks. I am seeking your advice on procuring this PJ there (through Newegg) and asking my friend to bring it here.

1. Which way it is better to get it? in cabin baggage possible (without packing) Or in luggage.
2. Is there any chance that customs here will account this for the import duty assuming that he will bring a few other stuff costing around 50k (including this PJ). Can the duty be avoided by showing as used item.
3. If I have to pay duty, my landing cost would be 34-35k while the risk is mine. but if I buy from amazon.de at today's price, the landing cost will be 36k, and i believe it less risk. So IMO, buying in US is worth only if I could skip duty. Any advice.


Reading some previous thread, it seems people have comfortably bring PJs in cabin baggage/luggage, but still wants a latest opinion

thanks in advance .....

Anyone got an answer for ajay0722? I live in the US and have no clue.

 

[afterlife2]

BUMP! Show us your Acer setup.
