BTW, has anyone tried using stereo with a DLP (not LCD) video projector? (Don't know what the refresh rate restrictions are on these. The physical hardware should be capable, but there's no guarantee the the electronics will support it. Probably requires a darkened room too). Francis E Reyes wrote: > There we have it then!
