3d vision on plasma tv panasonic TC-P50U2
I've seen similar questions a couple of times, but I haven't really seen an answer so I'm going to ask again. I have an nvidia gtx 460 graphics card in a computer that is fully 3d capable. I also have a 50" plasma tv (Panasonic TC-P50U2) with a 600hz refresh rate. I bought this tv because I got a good deal on it and I thought that there had to be a way to make it work with 3d on my computer. So my question: has anyone been able to make nvidia's 3d vision work on this or any other plasma tv? If so how did you do it? Was it difficult, any fancy configuring to do?

How does the 3d vision thing work anyway, shouldn't I be able to plug up an hdmi cable to anything that will take a high enough refresh rate and get 3d to work since all the work is done by the computer anyway?

thanks for any help anyone can provide!

This display is not compatible with Nvidia 3D vision.
The 600Hz feature of this display only relates to what Panasonic calls the "sub-field drive", it relates to frame interpolation and how the plasmas are being lit to produce a good looking picture, not the actual number of true frames being displayed.
The TV itself is just a standard 60Hz HDTV.

I gamed on a Sammy plasma 50B650 for several months with 3D Vision (Blu rays 3D never worked). I sent it back so I could get a Sony 55hx800 to use nvidia 3DTV Play. Looking back, I probably should have kept the Sammy cause 3DTV Play has the severe restriction that one must downres from native resolution (1920x1080) to 1280x720 in games. This downscaling results in poor picture quality, so 3DTV Play is not the answer for gaming. 3D Vision allows full resolution at full framerate, and this applies to the Sammy plasma as well as computer monitors even though it uses a HDMI connection on the Sammy. Granted, full res on the Sammy is only 1360x768 but it looks crisp because it is native res, not downscaled. The Sammy is not the answer either because it had significant artifacts in most games. So the state of the art is that there is no full implementation of 3D gaming, doesn't exist.
