3D Vision with Acer HN274H + second 2D monitor?
Hey guys I really hope someone here can enlighten me a bit as I'm starting to lose my mind.

I just bought an Acer HN274H to use as my main display in conjunction with another 27" Hanns G (1920x1200@60Hz) as a secondary screen (desktop extended mode). I have them both hooked to a GTX570 and the Acer is using the Dual Link connection. I have updated to the latest forceware drivers, and am running Windows 7 Ultimate.

Here is the problem: With both monitors connected the Acer will not go into 3D mode no matter what I do. If I disconnect the second monitor it works flawlessly. Can anyone tell me if there is a way around this? I really want this monitor and enjoy 3D immensely but if I have to disconnect and uninstall my second monitor every time I want to enable 3D that's going to get old pretty quick. I cannot imagine that I'm the only person out there who is running a 3D monitor with a 2D monitor simultaneously.

Thanks in advance for any help you guys can give. I've been reading through these forums a lot over the last couple days and have already learned a ton from all of you here!

I have a similar setup. Did have trouble at first but after fooling around with setting and resetting the primary vs secondary monitor, refresh rates, and I think reinstalling drivers for monitor and Nvidia a few times it is all working now. Sorry I don't remember the exact magic combination but hang in there and I think you can get it to work. Works flawlessly now.

Thanks. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling all drivers and got no love, but I'll keep monkeying around with it to see what else I can come up with.
