3D Vision 2 Wireless Glasses Kit problem
Hi, I have just purchased the 3D vision 2 wireless glasses kit and installed drivers and setup 3d stereoscopic settings but it is not working well. I am trying the kit on 2 displays, 1 is a Philips 32PHT4309/12 and the is is a projector which is Optoma HD50 3D. The PC I am using is Windows 8.1, 8GB Ram DDR3, 2047MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti, Intel Pentium G3420 @ 3.20GHz. Could you please tell me what am I doing wrong or if my setup is compatible with the 3D vision glasses. Thanks.

The problem is that your Displays are HDMI 1.4 compatible and supported via 3DTV Play. http://www.nvidia.com/object/3dtv-play-overview.html 3DTV Play costs $40 and acts as a product key to unlock Nvidia's stereoscopic drivers. 3DTV Play requires that you use the Display Manufacturers glasses. If you have a 3D Vision emitter, it will act as a product key unlocking 3DTV Play for free, but the emitter will not activate the sync signal for the glasses. Officially, 3D Vision glasses will not work with a HDMI 1.4 projector. Unofficially they will, provided that the projector has a frame sequential mode. They will not work with a HDMI 1.4 TV. What you need to do is override your projector using the EDID/.inf file, from a 3D Vision supported projector. http://www.nvidia.com/object/3d-vision-displays.html

So if I want to use the 3D with my projector I need to have 3DTV Play installed? The problem is that my projector which is 3D is not listed in the 3D displays which are compatible and neither is my 3D tv.. Can something still be done or I need to change the EDID/.inf file from a supported one and it should work?

plug in your Nvidia emitter, grab your optoma dlp link glasses and run the setup wizard

The 3d display list as reported by nvidia is notoriously unupdated. Its really of no use. When using 3dtv play your basically not using 3d vision to its fullest as with a 3d vision supported monitor. I'm not even sure if 3dtv play supports 1080p it might only be 720p. If you want the best 3d experience right now the monitor in my signature works with 3d vision at 1440p, the highest 3d resolution supported without some gimmicks. Otherwise a good 3d vision monitor at 1080p is still great. Look for the 3d vision logo on the box of the product. Sometimes a monitor is claimed to work in 3d when its really not 3d vision ready. Make sure refresh is at least 120 mhz. Disclaimer: I have never tried 3dtv play. I didn't want to pay an extra $40 to use it on my tv with the issues I heard of.

You're emitter should have a dim green light on it, this indicates that Nvidia's stereoscopic drivers are installed and that the emitter is recognized. In the "Set up stereoscopic 3D" tab of the Nvidia Control Panel, you should see a green Nvidia logo saying 3DTV Play. This indicates that your display is recognized. If either of these are not green, something is wrong.
