ViewSonic VPD31 3D projector converter

ViewSonic has announced the VPD31, a converter for the company’s 3D-ready DLP projectors and an updated version of its PGD-250 3D glasses.
The company says the VPD31 will handle 3D TV, 3D Blu-ray and 3D gaming content when used with the accompanying PDG-250 3D glasses.


The box is compatible with ViewSonic’s DLP Link 3D/120Hz projectors and has dual HDMI 1.4a inputs and a single HDMI 1.3 output.

The next generation of the company’s PGD-250 3D glasses have been redesigned to make them more stylish, lightweight and foldable, and they now claim to be able to operate for up to 44 hours on a single charge via their mini-USB port.

Trevor Holt, ViewSonic’s European project manager, projectors, said: “Unlike a television, the VPD31 and projector solution is scalable allowing users to enlarge a 3D image to any size they choose without losing any quality at all. Following its pre-view at CES, the solution has been given great reviews from the gaming community making it one of the most sought after 3D solutions on the market.”

The ViewSonic VPD31 with one pair of PGD-250 glasses is available now for £299.
