Samsung UN40C7000 #D games and non nVidia glasses i cant get the checkerboarding to work either.
So a few months back i got me a shiny new TV, the Samsung 40C7000! love it, kinda. seems to me the 240hz is almost "laggy" and the reds are sometimes messed up, but only in text images.

Anyways, my questions.

I purchased the 3DTV play from nVidia for the $40 and installed it... later finding out that i never needed to do that in the first place due to the TV having already compatible software.
I also purchased the samsung 3D glasses designed for this TV. not as bad as the sony, comfort wise.

I can use the 3D modes from either the TV or nVidia control panel but cant seem to get the 3D to do the checkerboarding even when renaming the input. curently im on HDMI input 4. the cable is 1.4

When i play games like Left for dead 1, and turn on the 3D through the TV, the PC sees a 3D requested signal and automaticly enables 3D. dropping the resolution from beautiful 1920x1080 all the way to 1280x1024. fail.
and the image is about 10% there due to the glasses flickering and the game not sending the correct signal. (?) i can see a flickering white and shadows of objects in the game through one lense, and a doubled half transparent image in the other lense. so the game is there, but the image is all wonky.

When attempting Mirror's Edge, i get a really dark Right eye image and the 3D efect is missing. again, dropping the resolution to 1280x1024.

I mainly play Rift online and all i need to do to get that game in 3D is hit the 3D button on the remote for the TV. lowers the resolution but its playable.

So, what am i missing for other games? can i really even get the checker boarding to work, and will it help? im still kinda new at all this, but i paid good hard earned money and i want a rewarding expierence when i play my games. thanks in advance

The only way to get checkerboard on a Samsung 3DTV is by connecting an Nvidia emitter to your PC via the miniUSB cable. If you gained access to 3DTV Play with the activation code, you are stuck with Framepacking.

Cant he uninstall 3DTV Play and use 3D Vision and your Rollermod to get checkerboard?

I'd return 3DTV Play if i were you, at least until Nvidia says they are going to support side by side or checkerboard, thats what im going to do because im not going to freaking live forever. I believe TriDef will give you checkerboard, or at least side by side.

Yes. Samsung/LG people who want to do this can PM me, as well as those with Frame sequential mode such as Panasonic,

Exactly, well put, especially the "not going to live forever" part. Time to stop waiting on Nvidia and do something now.
