120hz not available Acer 3d projector not recognised
Hi,
My son and friend enjoyed Cloudy meatballs 3d yesterday afternoon on my Acer H5360. Great.
In the evening I turned on the PC to watch another 3d blu-ray (Yes, I have 2 of them!!!!!). Windows 7 did not recognise the projector as an Acer and 120hz was not an available refresh rate. I could create and test a custom resolution @ 120hz on the "digital display" but 3d vision would not use it to run its 3d set up and gave me the red message that I was not using a stereoscopic mode. I was connected to PJ by DVI to HDMI cable (5m).
I rebooted computer and restarted projector, tried different video card output, reinstalled Nvidia drivers - pretty much tried everything I could think of. I believed it was the length of the cable and a poor handshake with projector. After a couple of hours I gave up and assumed a flaky lead.
This morning I tried another lead (didnt know I had another 5m one) - same problem - no 120Hz shown in refresh rates.
I then connected the Projector by VGA lead and 120hz was there and projector shown as Acer. 3d worked. I then went back and tried the DVI to HDMI cable again. This time 120hz was there and the projector (still) recognised as "Acer" and not "digital display". There were more resolutions and refresh rates. Everything working again.
I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of how this may have arisen. Is it a projector fault or windows, Nvidia or a driver fault. I would like to correct it as once projector is in proper place I cannot swap leads etc. Any help appreciated.
In the meantime, for anyone with similar problem - connect via VGA, set up and then connect via DVI to HDMI.

Thanks for the link. It is exactly what happened. In fact no swapping leads or rebooting resolved the problem last night. I have ordered a vga lead but that may cause blu-ray protection problems down the road.
Anyway I will have a look at link and report back if I have any success.

PJ problem. But.
-you can send it back, or use an overridden software driver and 196.21 geforce driver version - then send it back later ;)
