Need Help Setting up 3d for the first time
Hi,

I am new here - and a newb to the whole 3d scene -

I'd like to know if I can setup 3d viewing experience with the below hardware - if I something needs to be added/modified, thats what I am looking for help with.

Hardware:

[list]
[*]1 nVidia GeForce Wireless 3D Stereo Glasses Kit with Emitter ( Yet to buy - but going to within next few days from Amazon)
[*]2 Laptop with GTX 260 M Video Card - Native LCD resolution 1600 x 900 (Owned)
[*]3 LG HX350T 720p Front Projector - Native resolution 1024 x 768 (Owned)
[/list]

If I add item #1, would I be able to get this to work? I need to add as an item #4, 3d blu ray player - but not too sure, if the above will work.
I will really appreciate if someone is able to help me with this.

I really dont think the projector is 3D capable.

I had a look arround and found no reference of it being 3d capable - in fact i saw that it was only 300 luminems - which sugested it wouldnt do very well at 3D even if it was capable...

I seen an article where someone said their 260M was 3D compatible, but I cant see anywhere that says it officially.


To be honest, i think even if it worked, it wouldnt perform very well.(for games)

Was it games or just bluray you had in mind?

If it works for either, I'd be happy. I do know that lumens are lower for the projector, however can I use my laptops display as alternate?

The simple answer to your original question, ie would it work if you added item 1 is, "no". You basically need to buy item 1 plus a suitable monitor which can operate at 120Hz such as the ASUS VG236.

You'll need an actual compatible 3D Display.
Neither the laptop screens nor the projectors will work.

NVIDIA keeps a list of the 3D capable projectors/monitors: http://www.nvidia.com/object/3d-vision-requirements.html

The graphics chip is a bit on the weak side, too, if you're planning on playing graphically intense games. It should be fine if you're just playing 3D movies.
