[quote="bo3b"]For Rift and Vive, there are new driver settings in profiles that automatically disable 3D Vision when a VR runtime is detected. 3D Vision is now disabled by default when running VR, so you shouldn't have to change the setting on either Win7 or Win10.
Unless it's been fixed in recent drivers, the driver does not disable 3D Vision by default in WMR.
Note that this also means you cannot run any 3Dmigoto fixes with SBS in a WMR headset on something like BigScreen or VirtualDesktop.
There is a specific flag to allow 3D Vision to activate at the same time as VR. [url]http://wiki.bo3b.net/index.php?title=Driver_Profile_Settings#0x709d3ad2[/url]
I've been tempted by the Samsung, but I really do not need another headset. It seems to be the clear winner in the WMR realm.
Long term, I can't see using any of the VR headsets for a TV replacement. Too clunky, too low res by comparison to literally any 3D Vision monitor and not even close to projector experience. I can game for 8 hours on projector, and top out at about 3 hours on VR.
BTW, one reason I'm interested in WMR as a TV is because I'm writing an app that brings all DX9 games to a virtual TV. Presently successfully running in Rift, performance is good. Currently working on making it easier to setup.[/quote]

Changes to Video Content on Steam
Announcement - Valve
Feb 19
For the past few years, we have worked on expanding Steam beyond games and software by building a video platform that supports paid and free video content. In reviewing what Steam users actually watch, it became clear we should focus our effort on offering content that is either directly related to gaming or, is accessory content for games or software sold on Steam.
As part of this refocus, we have retired the Video section of the Steam Store menu with an expectation that video content is discovered via the associated game or software store page, or through search, user tags, recommendations, etc.
Over the coming weeks a number of non-gaming videos will be retired and will no longer be available for purchase. Previously purchased content will remain available to owners.
________________________________________________________________________________________________
If you were thinking about using this new BigScreen Beta 2019 with any currently un-purchased Steam Movie Video Content, better do it soon :P
IMO, I'm glad to see this go, I hated having movies show in my game searches. At least now, only gaming related/relevant stuff will return in the search results :P
