Hi. I bought the 3d Vision and a Samsung 2233RZ early last month. I was able to get it to work. I think the first night I had it, I spent maybe 30 minutes playing Dragon Age. Then the next night, maybe an hour or so. After that, I didn't use the glasses for maybe 2 weeks, due to my busy schedule. When I did, the left lens would stay opaque, while the right would be transparent. I'd notice a flicker in both lens, with them going transparent opaque for a split second. I thought at first it was faulty. But then thinking it might be low on power, I let it recharge for about 3 hours. Now, the power light on the glasses was green. Never red. After leaving it on charge, I tried it out, and it worked, so I chalked it up to the battery not being fully charged.
Since then, I didn't get a chance to use them until today. Its been about 3 weeks. When I tried to use them, I got the same exact issue, with the left lens being opaque, and the right being transparent, with the occasional flicker. I thought the battery was low again, so I tried to recharge, but the orange light on the bottom keeps turning off after a minute. The power light on top is green. So it seems to be fully charged, but the lens just aren't working. When the power is off, the lenses are both transparent. I also noticed turning the glasses at certain angles, the lenses flicker a bit from transparent and opaqueness.
My setup with the reciever hasn't changed. I tried moving it around, but it doesn't do anything. Anyone know what a fix might be, and why this happens? Or do I just have a faulty glass? Its been over a month now since the purchase, so I can't return the glasses for an exchange.

[quote name='Adz 3000' post='1044858' date='Apr 25 2010, 04:14 AM']So this issue is on any 3d game or video?
Potentialy something might be interfering? Another IR device somewhere?
Have you tried differnt screen refresh rates?[/quote]
Yup, the issue is for anytime I try to view games in 3d or watch a 3d video.
I have my Logitech speaker console next to the the Samsung. I tried turning it off, and still get the issue.
Just tried the refresh rates. It doesn't make a difference.
Its a bit wierd. The first time this happened, and I was able to fix it, the glasses worked flawlessy for that entire gaming session.
And just to clear up, when I say the left lens is opaque, I mean its completely black/dark while the 3d is turned on, and the reciever is sending signals. So basically, if I put the glasses on, I can see clearly through the right lens, but the left lens is really dark, and I get no 3d effect. Since the glasses have worked before, I know what the 3d effect looks like, so I'm sure something is wrong. /haha.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':haha:' />

Charge your glasses... Change the refresh to 110 Hz, and then back to 120 Hz.

Alright, so I tried what you suggested. I left the glass plugged to charge for about 7 hours. I noticed the orange light next to the USB input would go on and off ever once in a while. So I changed the refresh to 110hz, then back to 120hz. Get the same issue still. Left lens stays opaque, and the right lens stays clear while the receiver is in 3d mode. Should I just chalk it up to a faulty glass, and try to see if Nvidia will exchange it?

If it's at all possible, try to test this on someone else's PC. Even if you have to schlep your monitor and glasses to their house. What happens when you test your stereoscopic 3D in the control panel? Medical image test? Nvidia logo test? If the lenses are flickering and doing funny things it can SERIOUSLY be software and NOT hardware. Google the following, remove non-present devices in device manager. Also, if you have a wireless mouse, try using a normal mouse.
