Got some games working with TriDef 3D. Bioshock looks pretty damn amazing i have to say! Works and looks way better than i would have imagined.
There's a bit of ghotsting on some objects (really bright objects only - i think) it doesnt distract and maybe there's some way to tweak it down.

PowerDVD11 works too, i had to change the settings on my TV, that was the problem, not the software.

Overall i'm really happy with my purchase, and really surprised how great the effect looks in games, it's really like being there :) It feels like seeing the game how it's meant to be seen for the first time.

iZ3D i didnt have much luck with yet.

So you installed TriDef 3D, set it up to use side by side mode, disabled 3D in your nvidia control panel, then launched your TriDef software, then selected Bioshock in the TriDef user interface, then manually set your Panasonic to SBS mode after the game launched, correct? And in-game rez was 1920x1080?

Correct, except i do not have any settings for 3D in the nvidia control panel, not that i've found (i do have the 3D settings for anti-aliasing etc ofc, but i guess that's not what you meant).

i had to use -dx9 in the commandline for bioshock to work also, otherwise the screen would be just black.

I've also tested: Bully (worked great), Dragon Age (worked, but FPS suffered quite a bit).

In the NCP > Set up stereo 3D, there is a checkbox 'enable stereo 3D'. Was this checked or unchecked when you launched a game under TriDef 3D?

There is no "setup stereo 3D" that i have found. I've never seen that setting with any drivers, and i'm poking around there quite a bit.. What drivers are you using?

In the Nvidia control panel left pane, do you see the major tabs:
3D Settings
Display
Stereoscopic 3D
Video

This has been the config of the NCP since at least 258.xx.
If not, describe what you are seeing.

Of course u can use your TV for playing 3D games\movies!

All you need is nVdia 3DTV play installed and ur tv connected to your graphic card via a HDMI 1.3 or 1.4 cable. You can use ur TV glasses.

Update ur drivers to the latest version and install 3DTV Play activation utility (search for it on nvdia website) if you don't see any Stereoscopic 3D setting via nVidia control panel.

Cheers

aha, so that's a 3DTV Play setting, great, i'll give that a try. It does seem to work without it too though (when using TriDef 3D).

Vurt,
It isn't a 3DTV Play setting, it's a driver setting.
If you use 3DTV Play, you'll be doomed to scaled 720P. Go with TriDef for 1920x1080 native resolution.
