New Panasonic LED HDTV compatible with 3dtv Play? any update to the compatibility list
Hello all.

I've got a 20 year old Sony Tube that I'm finally getting rid of. I'd like to get something that is compatible with 3dvision and fits in the built in entertainment center - limits me to a 42" display (I have 41" width clearance). I note that LG and Vizio and others are migrating to passive displays - I'd like an active display and am wondering if the newly announced panasonic LED (not their plasma) models are supported with 3dtv play. Specific models I'm looking at are the TC-L42E30 and TC-L42D30.

Thanks for any insight anyone has.

Im pretty sure that all the 3dtvs' are compatible with 3dtv play. As long as it has a dvi input or hdmi or mini-hdmi (it will have on or all of those). The difficultly is finding a 3dtv that works with 3d vision without needing 3dtv play software. Your going to be fine /thumbup.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':thumbup:' />

Yeah, fine if you like scaled low res 1280x720 gaming on a 1920x1080 display.
Get a samsung and game in native resolution 1920x1080.

Those models aren't 3D tvs are they? You'll at least need a 3D tv to use 3Dtv play.

Do you have any specific Samsung TVs in mind? I see there is a UN46D8000 that is a 46" diag but only 41" wide that would fit my space - what do I need to look for - DVI port?

Only certain selected samsungs and all Mits DLP sets support CB mode/3D Vision. All other brands force you to use the "ugly stepsister" of Nvidia 3D gaming, 3DTV Play. PM me for more info.

There are no 3DTVs that supports DVI-D infortunately, only HDMI. If they had DVI-D, than we would be able to game at 1920x1080 60hz full resolution per eye, the problem is HDMI limited band.
