passive TV's using 3D vison
how does this work? I see passive 3d tv's being included under the supported tv's list. Can I use 3d vision in passive mode or does it switch my tv to active?

yeah, but i thought 3d vision was active teechnology... you cant use passive glasses for an active technology, and my TV can't display 3D in active mode, lol

Passive TVs are incapable of active 3D with shutter glasses, so no it does not switch it. The passive displays are not 3DVision compatible, but are 3DTV Play compatible. With a passive TV you select the input signal format, the TV processes and displays it for use with the passive 3D glasses. You can find a good desciption of the technology at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarized_3D_glasses

3DTV Play is included in the Nvidia drivers, if you have the Nvidia 3D Vision emmiter it is free and you'll need the emmiter connected any time you use it. Without an emitter, Nvidia 3DTV Play is currently $39.99. Either way, 3DTV Play will not activate unless the 3D HDTV and your Nvidia GPU is on the requirement/support list http://www.nvidia.com/object/3dtv-play-system-requirements.html
