why am i getting grainy picture with scanlines with 3D?
What the heck is going on with my setup.

I bought a samsung and 3d vision kit from Futureshop which worked perfectly. I found it alot cheaper at NCIX, so I returned it to futureshop and bought it from NCIX. Now my "new" setup is giving me grainy looking textures with visible scanlines. I have the same drivers and haven't changed anything in my setup but now I see scanlines on every texture. This is really annoying me. Why would my new setup have such a defect. Will Samsung replace my monitor? I really don't wan't to pay shipping to return it to NCIX. Anyone else have this issue? I wen't from playing in cyrstal clear HD 3D to playing on a low res tv with visible scanlines (thats what it looks like) If I didn't know any better I would have written off 3D vision, but I know it can look clear without grain and visible textures. Thanks guys.

Are you talking about when not using them in a game? If i dont want to play a game in 3D at all i will stop the nvidia stereoscopic service before loading the game, otherwise i get full brightness and slight scanlines due to the way the driver/monitor processes for 3d shutter glasses.

Yes it's games only and only when stereo is enabled. When I disable stereo I don't get any scanlines. The thing is that the first monitor didn't have any scanlines in stereo, so when I hooked up the new one and noticed how crappy it looked I was pretty upset. All you guys who have scanlines have a defective monitor. Why would you choose to keep something that doesn't work properly? I'm gonna call samsung to see what they can do.

If you look at the WoW thread you'll find to be quite normal i think.

Please, I am (and I guess the rest of affected people) VERY interested in your experience with samsung, what they say, if they accept a RMA, etc. Please, keep posting here your experiences. Maybe it could be interesting to post your advances in the main topic about grainy texture, only to keep things in the same topic. Only a suggestion though, as you want.

Thanks

PD. Are you REALLY sure that in the first one it wasn't there? In fact, I didn't notice it until some weeks after purchase, I was mainly looking to the 'nice' effect of 3D and looking for eventual ghosting. Only when these effects/concerns faded out a little, I noticed the grainy texture...

I've been asking myselft that same question. I wish I had both at the same time to test it. It just seemed to be noticable the day I set up the new Samsung. I really don't think the first one had the issue, but you might be right that I was so into the 3D effect that I never noticed. I find that if I sit back a little from the screen the scanlines aren't really visible, but im normally used to a 32" monitor and a 110" projection, so I can't help but stick my face closer to the screen :blink: The monitor I have now also has really bad backlight bleeding, so I may start an RMA with Samsung and I'll keep you guys informed.
