If I buy the 3D Vision Kit (£124.99 at PC World) would I be able to use the glasses in the kit instead of the Samsung PS50C680 TV's glasses and drive the TV directly at 120Hz frame-sequential so get 1080p-60Hz per eye, 60fps? Manual states in 3D section:

"Frequency" displays the frequency (60Hz only) when the resolution is set to PC.

Does that mean 60Hz per eye (120Hz total) or 30Hz per eye (60Hz total)?

Maximum supported resolution is 1920x1080p 24/30/50/60Hz - is this per eye, so input can be 1920x1080p 48/60/100/120Hz in 3D mode?

Those are total, none of the 3DTV's I know of will take a 120Hz input signal.
The HDMI 1.4a additional 3D resolutions are packed formats, i.e. you send both images in a single frame and the TV sorts out how and when to present them.
Unfortunately for whatever reason, the industry decided to mandate 1280x720@60Hz and 1920x1080@24Hz, these are goof for movies, but not so much for games.

"Frequency" or page flipping mode accepts a 60Hz input, meaning 30 frames/sec per eye. But to avoid massive flickering, the frames are shown 2 times each, which gives 60 frames/sec per eye or 120Hz total. This mode is noticably better than the mandatory HDMI 1.4 1080p@24Hz mode (with 24 frames/sec per eye).

But I think the best compromise between visual quality and frame rate is the 1080p@60Hz checkerboard mode. This mode is called "Generic DLP" in the nVidia 3D setup wizard.

No dates yet for 3DTV Play avaiabilty for new 3D projectors like Sony VPL-VW90ES and JVC X3, X7 and X9 ??? Is AMD 68xx with drivers the only working solution not involving buying the throw-away 3D-vision kit?

For HDMI 1.4 solutions you can use Tridef or IZ3d as effectively with NVidia or ATI.
3dtv play will probably have marginally better performance, and somewhat broader compatability.

[/quote]The reason is the HDMI 1.4a input. All implemented HDMI is single link, but dual link is required for full resolution 3D gaming. That's why 3D gaming is supported only on computer monitors, they all use dual link DVI. All HDTV vendors have stated that they are commited to single link HDMI for all future TVs, so no 3D gaming on a full sized display.

?? and why exactly would 720p@60 and 1080p@24 not allow for 3D gaming??

What a load of c**p.. there is no problem playing games with these screen refresh rates.

Can someone please explain how I activate Play TV on my existing system?

I have the 3D Vision IR emitter & glasses, I have installed the latest drivers (NVIDIA_3D_Vision_CD_v1.45_WinVista_Win7_English_whql, my Panasonic VT20 TV is connected via HDMI and recognised and active on the system, but I can't find the software or a link to start it.

Please help, its supposed to be free upgrade for 3D Vision PC owners and just needs to be "activated"

Same question, how do I buy this when I live in Europe and only have European credit cards?
Seems to be only available on the US nvidia site and the payment options only allow North American countries when registering.
Has anyone tried to buy this with a non-US credit card?
