Ghosting effect with 3D Vision Discover Happens only on LCD TV
Hello,
I just started to use 3D Vision Discover as I don't have a 120Hz screen (and I won't have one for some years I guess). I bought nVidia red/cyan glasses and they worked great on my first attempts with my PC monitor.
I mean, it was really amazing even if it wasn't the [b]real[/b] 3D with shutter glasses!!

Anyway, more than my Philips 240BW, which still supports Dual-Link DVI but not 120Hz, I own an LG 37LF65 LCD TV connected via DVI/HDMI cable from my two ASUS EN8800GTX cards.
I also own an ASUS G71V laptop with HDMI port

I tried to play Assassin's Creed and Star Trek Legacy (while the second being unsupported) on my TV as I have the Xbox controller connected to PC or laptop as needed.

[size=5]Here come the problems[/size]

From the TV, no matter I use desktop or laptop computer, I always see a ghosting effect except for objects that are very "close" to the screen edge (where the two ghosts collide), and this doesn't happen with the LCD monitor.
I tried closing one eye at a time, and I clearly saw the ghosting effect on the TV: it's like the "red" and "cyan" displayed by the TV don't match the glasses' colours, so I see something I shouldn't see.
The result is, believe me, a real disasters.

Now then, could you suggest me how to properly tune colour levels in order to match the ones of the glasses? I think that balancing RGB levels (more attention on R and B I suppose) in a way that match the shadow colours could fix my problem.

But I don't precisely know how to proceed. I had an idea: I create an image with paint, photoshop or whatever, that shows two only regions of colours: one #FF0000 (red) and one #00FFFF (cyan?), then balance the levels through nVidia control panel until, with the single eye and glasses on, I see no difference between the two areas.
This could, in theory, affect 3D gaming positively.

Do you agree? Or is there a more simple procedure?
I would definitely buy the shutter glasses but I don't have that d... 120Hz screen.

Oh, another thing: while at home, I wear sightglasses under the 3D glasses because I'm not comfortable with contacts. I don't think it does, but.... does this affect 3D vision?

Thank you for your help. I'll send feedback on Star Trek Legacy as soon as I fix this ghosting problem, as I think the 3D gameplay works quite good with this unrated title
