Anyone else having this issue? Problem with stereo when looking from certain angles
Hey there,
I'm having a weird problem and I was wondering if someone else's having it too, I get some crosstalk (ghosting) like everyone else, but my kit has a very weird issue, when I turn my head right and look at the monitor through the left corner of the glasses' lens (still being able to see the image with 2 eyes) the stereo effect DISSAPEARS COMPLETELY as the shutter glasses were not "on" (I can see both stereo images clearly, no ghosts, the actual images in full color) the weirdest thing is that this [b][u]does not[/u][/b] happen with the other corner. I know what it sounds, but this is not a sync issue (I'm not turning my head away from the IR emitter or something)
So, if someone can test it and tell me if it's a common issue (maybe with liquid crystal alignment or something =p) or my kit is messed up...
Here's a nice diagram on how to reproduce the effect I'm describing
(Left image, [b]turning head left[/b] and looking at monitor [b]through right corner[/b], [color="#00FF00"][b]stereo ok![/b][/color] Then right image, [b]turning head right[/b] and looking at monitor [b]through left corner[/b],[color="#FF0000"] [b]no stereo![/b][/color])

As I said, I can still see the monitor with both eyes, this effect happens with both eyes, not just my left eye.

It's because there is a transmitter on a side of the glassess which needs to see emitter directly I guess.. Probably IR one.. Check the glassess on the site or the manuel. I have the same issue as well and I'm guessing It's not a problem..

I'm not sure this is the issue, I'll try to put the emitter as close as possible to the IR receiver and try again, but, you do notice that problem right?

I presume this is just a curiosity and you don't have some burning need to play games while looking the other way?

LMAO!
Actually wanted to know if my kit had a defect of some sort, I moved the IR emitter around to see if it was a sync issue (which is not), also, you can also see lots of blueish ghosting looking the other way, anyway, thanks for the info, now I know it's a common "issue"
Would like to know the cause tho, maybe it has something to do with the alignment of the liquid crystal particles or something?

Dude just check the manuel, it has a small receiver part, I think on the left, which needs to see emitter directly....
The problem is when your head is at that angle, glassess just stop working. It means thay don't receive any signal at that angle (your head prevents it). And it's normal because It's an Infa-Red signal.. not radio..
Try it like this: When glasses working close whole left part of the glassess with your hand completely and stay a few secs... It won't work even your head is at the right angle but when you close the right part, It will.. /wallbash.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':wallbash:' />

Ok man, look, it's NOT a sync issue, I know how the IR works I know where the receiver is.
As I said in my previous post I even tried putting the emitter right in front of the glasses and at various distances (in case there was an out of sync problem) that's NOT the problem, as ERP said it's probably something to do with polarization (or aliment as I think).
Try it yourself, do what the diagram shows and put the emitter somewhere where the glasses can still receive the IR signal. You'll see that the glasses are still working but the image is not stereo (in the corner). I was wondering how noticeable this is in surround 3d systems O_o
