Troubleshooting help!
I managed to get my 3D Vision wireless glasses kit from the post office today. And as you might guess I ran into some trouble. The shutters of my glasses don't seem to work while using 3d. When I choose the remote option from setup wizard the shutters do blink every second or so, but other than that I don't manage to get them working. I've been trying to figure this one out for about 6 hours now and kinda getting frustrated. I'm trying to run normal lcd in the crt mode, since I wanted to see if this thing works well before investing for a good 120hz monitor. 660gtx

I take it you have an emitter?

yep. Got an emitter. Got it connected and it works as far as enabling/disabling 3d and adjusting the depth goes.

[quote="Sikkis"]I'm trying to run normal lcd in the crt mode, since I wanted to see if this thing works well before investing for a good 120hz monitor. 660gtx[/quote] Wait, are saying that you are using a 60Hz monitor for 3d like a CRT? If so it will only work with 3D Vision Discover = red/blue anaglyph glasses. You need to use an officially supported monitor/projector or Nidia's active shutter glasses will not enable. What monitor are you thinking about buying? Stereoscopic gaming is fantastic imho. What exactly are you trying to figure out "works" before purchasing a monitor? A specific game?

I don't think you can run a [u]normal[/u] LCD in CRT mode, can you?

If it has a VGA connection, he might be trying. Dunno. Since VGA output is compliant to VESA protocols, it makes no difference if a CRT or LCD is connected. The display determines how it's going to use the received information. Posters have reported using regular TVs before with terrible results. The problem is that at 60Hz there is so much ghosting and also flicker from the glasses. that it's absolutely worthless to bother doing it. A lot has to do with slow pixel response times on a normal display.

I remember trying to get my first LCD working with my old H3D glasses on Legacy drivers when my CRT up and died ... that didn't go so well, thus officially ending my first go with 3D, it's so much better now though than it was back then on my 19" CRT. :D @Sikkis You mention 'the shutters do blink every second or so' is this what you see on the monitor or what you see when looking through the glasses? When looking through the glasses you shouldn't be able to detect the 'shuttering', it happens so fast, that said if they aren't syncing properly with the monitor, then the monitor may look like it's blinking at an odd rate, because the refresh and sync rates aren't aligned. If the glasses themselves are blinking at an odd and visible rate, it could be the glasses or the emitter. Are they fully charged? Clear view between the emitter and the glasses? Try relocating the emitter?

Yea you need a 120Hz panel, and a 3D certified one at that. The CRT mode works with CRT displays because most CRT's are capable of higher refresh rates. For the time you could try Discover mode, it will give you an idea of the performance hit and what proper 3D could look like.

The NVidia CRT mode requires at least an 85Hz frequency, it will refuse to run if you have your 'crt' set to 60Hz. I used to run three 21" CRTs at 85Hz, and that was the lowest frequency it would support. (42.5Hz per eye.) You won't be able to tell with your LCD panel. With the possible exception of red/blue Discover mode.
