Samsung SyncMaster 2233rz Shows 120hz Refresh - but won't play 3d
When I enable 3D, the screen goes blank and says Check Signal Cable. I've updated drivers, changed cables, installed monitor driver. Nothing works. I thought this monitor is 3D Vision capable??

Did you use the DVI cable that came with the monitor?

Make sure you use the Dual DVI cable that came with the monitor. A normal DVI cable can't send 3D signals across it.

I tihnk with a regular DVI cable Nvida/windows will detect the monitor and will tel you that you can dispaly at 120hz, but if you have the wrong cable then it will be unable to send the signal at 120hz to the monitor properly. the video card will send it.... but the Monitor will not recieve it.

think of it as a regular DVI cable is a 2 lane bridge (with only rails on the right side), and the signal is a wide 4 lane truck. if it's on a 4 lane bridge(with rails on both sides) it can get from point A to be with no problem. but if it goes on our 2 lane bridge it falls off into the abys below.
the Video card doesn't care if the Truck reaches the other end. it just sends it across the bridge. With the two lane Bridge the truck never reaches the other end, thus the Monitor never gets the signal.

hmm forget all of that. Just make sure you are using a DUAL link DVI cable (should have come with the monitor) it's the one that is full of PINS (24 pins)
the single link has 18 pins

Thank you for the response. Yes, I'm using the cable that came with the monitor.
