Help with 3D Vision and Passive TV
I'll try to keep this short and concise... I've tried for a couple days and can't seem to figure this out so I'm posting here hoping to get this resolved.

I have a GeForce GTX 560TI, Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit and a Vizio 47" 3D LED TV. (Model: M3D470KD)

Basically, I can enable Stereoscopic 3D in the nVidia Control Panel, but for some reason all of the options are greyed out. The 3D works. The set up wizard works, I got it to actually work with Battlefield 3, but I can't figure out why I can't use the keyboard shortcuts or modify the settings on the 3D settings page in the control panel. Oh, and the list of 3d compatibility is gone. When I switch my display back to my monitor the settings are changeable and the compatibility list is there.

Here's a screenshot of what I'm looking at:

For some reason it seems like it's detecting the TV as "HDMI Blu-Ray 3D" and I think that's my problem. So anyway, I manually set Battlefield 3's resolution to 1920x1080 24hz and it actually worked in 3D but none of the keyboard shortcuts worked and I couldn't clear away the text at the bottom right of the screen about the 3D vision compatibility, the one that says "press control+alt+insert to clear." Control+alt+insert or any other combo (control+T or control+F12 or F4) would not work. I have rebooted the computer after hooking up the TV and I am on the latest nvidia drivers. ([url="https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B2JgGUE1GeTZc3NhRnhwU3NkR3M"]img[/url])

I can't seem to get the 3D to work with portal 2, or anything else, and I can't figure out how to get the keyboard shortcuts to work. Can anyone help?

Thanks so much in advance.

Edit: Also, the computer definitely seems to recognize the TV properly as it shows the correct model in the standard change resolution dialog: [url="https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B2JgGUE1GeTZZm1ubF9UZjJubXM"]img[/url]

Install this 3DTV Play trial...

http://us.download.nvidia.com/Windows/3dtv_play/NVIDIA_3DTV_Play_Activation_Utility.exe

It has a 14-day trial. After you install it you will see the 3DTV play logo in your Control panel \ Stereoscopic settings.

Now you will be able to remove the Nvidia ratings "in green". Make sure to set your in-game resolution to 720p 60 :) It will Pop into 3D right away.

Thanks for the reply. I am installing it now. What happens after the 14 day trial?

Oh, so this video card won't do this without that software? I need to lay out another $40? That kind of sucks. :(

Make sure it works with your TV first...then after playing a few games you probably wont mind dropping the 40 buks :)

Fair enough. It looks like I'm going to have to. I just assumed whatever the solution was was going to be a driver thing or something I was doing wrong, so I didn't really think about trying the 3dplay thing. Well, it worked perfectly, so I now :facepalm: but maybe someone else having the same issue will save a few hours if they stumble across this :)

Thanks again!!

Awesome welcome to the 3rd dimension! You in in for a treat!

Games you have to try...

First, Trine 2 then...

Skydrift

Skyrim

Dirt 3

Street Fighter vs. Tekken

Street Fighter 4 : Arcade Edition

Toy Soldiers

...and any game on the Helix fixed game list in my sig..I am sure others will have more game suggestions for you!

P.S. Make sure you set up your in-game 3DTV Play Hotkeys like this... http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/502/34940546.jpg/

When you are in-game in 3D you can press + or - to increase or decrease convergence. Play around with "increasing" convergence in many games...your jaw will drop when you get it just right!
