I know it's too close. I would have gone with another 40" if they were available in a 3D model, but 46 is as low as they go, unless you drop all the way down to the monitor sizes which is sub-30". Honestly, I'm not crazy about having to increase in monitor/tv size as you are absolutely correct, it looks like crap. However, when playing games, which is what I do mostly, it's great. And when I'm playing one of my consoles, I'm still sitting about 5-6' from the screen anyway. It does work out.
As far as the bragging goes, well, if you see it as that, then I can't change how you perceive something. But in all honesty, I wasn't trying to brag, just relay the facts to reduce the amount of questions.

Wrong, I have a Samsung 40 inch model UN40C7000WF that IS a 3d model. So unless you live somewhere that this model is unavailable, your information is faulty. I built a new computer, installed a GTX 480, bought the Nvidia
3d vision kit - just so I could have Nvidia 3d. 40 inches is almost too big for a desktop monitor. I had to re-arrange my computer room to get enough space between myself and the tv for things to look right. I am now rethinking my recent purchases, even though I am stuck with them.
I like the 3d movies, but I am underwhelmed by 3d gaming, so far. And I know I am using the right settings. Here is what I don't like, most of all -- I purchased the 3d vision kit just so I could get the emitter. The 30 or 40 bucks that Nvidia says it is going to charge for 3dtv play when it finally is released is going to be what? Just a cable and an emitter with a cd, is my guess! They could sell just the emitter right now, if they wanted to. Then I wouldn't have had to spend 200 bucks and get a pair of glasses that won't even work with 3dtv play! I'll let you figure that one out$$$$

That's correct. If you want to use your pc with an Nvidia graphics card and you have a compatible 3d tv for Nvidia's 3dtv play, using Nvidia's emitter is the only way you can use 3dtv play right now. Otherwise you have to wait for them to release it. Otherwise you can only use the tv's own 2d to 3d conversion which pretty much sucks. The alternative is using Nvidia's 3d vision kit with it's glasses on a 3d vision compatible monitor.

I was referring to the current Samsung lineup. All 350 inches of LCD screens in my home are Samsung, and I intend to keep it that way, as I prefer them over other brands. However, I'm returning this 46" LED as something is either wrong with it, or it's just not suitable for a PC monitor. When staring at a large white area, such as this website, you can see the screen flickering. The 3D quality is horrible. I tried playing Black Ops in 3D with my PS3, and no matter how you configure the 3D settings, the layers don't line up. It shifts to the right on the back layer at default, but the front layer looks good. If you adjust it so the back layer lines up properly, then it throws off the front layer. Really doesn't look good. Gran Turismo suffered from the same problem.
So I ordered a Samsung Plasma instead. It will be my first plasma tv, and I'm a bit nervous about burn in. But from what I read, the refresh rate and response time are incredible, so it should make a great gaming monitor. Unfortunately, Samsung doesn't make anything less than 50". So I will have to once again increase in size, which I'm really not liking. It's wonderful for the games, but for regular computer work, it's not very good.

That's odd -- I bought a supposedly top-of-the-line Panasonic Plasma last year and returned it because of flickering in bright/white screens when connected to the computer, so I figured that phenomenon was *because* it was a plasma (never had that happen with an LCD).
And now my 55" LED Samsung 8000 is supposed to arrive sometime this week, and I *can't* return it if I don't like it. I hope my experience with this TV turns out better than what happened to you!

Best Buy still sells this tv(UN40C7000WF). But, anyway -- yes, I agree with your opinion of Samsung tvs. I have 3 myself. WOW! you have 350 combined inches of Samsung tvs? Do you have one in every room? Getting back to your screen flickering problem, with all of the considerable amount of money you have spent on your system -- don't go cheap on the hdmi cables and connectors. I paid $100.00 for a 6ft. Monster cable. I know that's crazy, but this cable will handle the high bandwidth that is required. I'm not saying you haven't already thought of this or that this is the problem, just trying to help. And of course, I assume that you are now using your 2 GTX 580's in sli mode.
Could be a problem there?

Thanks for clearing that up. one question though, you are using the nvidia emitter, are you using the tv's glasses or the nvidia ones? I use a panasonic 37" LCD as a monitor and it looks great, perfect for gaming and everything else, text is clear. I did try other models with no luck, panasonic plasmas look terrible as a monitor, I am wondering if the new 3d format plasmas will work better with the huge refresh rate? could you keep us posted on how your new set looks when you get it.. cheers

Sorry, I thought I made that clear. I am using Samsung glasses. That is the point of having 3dtv play. I just got tired of waiting for them to release 3dtv play, so I got an Nvidia 3d vision kit in order to have the emitter. I am not the one getting a new tv, Vhayne is.

I know it's too close. I would have gone with another 40" if they were available in a 3D model, but 46 is as low as they go, unless you drop all the way down to the monitor sizes which is sub-30". Honestly, I'm not crazy about having to increase in monitor/tv size as you are absolutely correct, it looks like crap. However, when playing games, which is what I do mostly, it's great. And when I'm playing one of my consoles, I'm still sitting about 5-6' from the screen anyway. It does work out.
As far as the bragging goes, well, if you see it as that, then I can't change how you perceive something. But in all honesty, I wasn't trying to brag, just relay the facts to reduce the amount of questions.

They could sell just the emitter right now, if they wanted to. Then I wouldn't have had to spend 200 bucks and get a pair of glasses that won't even work with 3dtv play! I'll let you figure that one out$$$$

Hi correct me if i'm wrong, your using a samsung 40" and samsung glasses with the nivida 3d vision transmitter?
Wrong, I have a Samsung 40 inch model UN40C7000WF that IS a 3d model. So unless you live somewhere that this model is unavailable, your information is faulty. I built a new computer, installed a GTX 480, bought the Nvidia
3d vision kit - just so I could have Nvidia 3d. 40 inches is almost too big for a desktop monitor. I had to re-arrange my computer room to get enough space between myself and the tv for things to look right. I am now rethinking my recent purchases, even though I am stuck with them.
I like the 3d movies, but I am underwhelmed by 3d gaming, so far. And I know I am using the right settings.

That's correct. If you want to use your pc with an Nvidia graphics card and you have a compatible 3d tv for Nvidia's 3dtv play, using Nvidia's emitter is the only way you can use 3dtv play right now. Otherwise you have to wait for them to release it. Otherwise you can only use the tv's own 2d to 3d conversion which pretty much sucks. The alternative is using Nvidia's 3d vision kit with it's glasses on a 3d vision compatible monitor.

I was referring to the current Samsung lineup. All 350 inches of LCD screens in my home are Samsung, and I intend to keep it that way, as I prefer them over other brands. However, I'm returning this 46" LED as something is either wrong with it, or it's just not suitable for a PC monitor. When staring at a large white area, such as this website, you can see the screen flickering. The 3D quality is horrible. I tried playing Black Ops in 3D with my PS3, and no matter how you configure the 3D settings, the layers don't line up. It shifts to the right on the back layer at default, but the front layer looks good. If you adjust it so the back layer lines up properly, then it throws off the front layer. Really doesn't look good. Gran Turismo suffered from the same problem.
So I ordered a Samsung Plasma instead. It will be my first plasma tv, and I'm a bit nervous about burn in. But from what I read, the refresh rate and response time are incredible, so it should make a great gaming monitor. Unfortunately, Samsung doesn't make anything less than 50". So I will have to once again increase in size, which I'm really not liking. It's wonderful for the games, but for regular computer work, it's not very good.

That's odd -- I bought a supposedly top-of-the-line Panasonic Plasma last year and returned it because of flickering in bright/white screens when connected to the computer, so I figured that phenomenon was *because* it was a plasma (never had that happen with an LCD).
And now my 55" LED Samsung 8000 is supposed to arrive sometime this week, and I *can't* return it if I don't like it. I hope my experience with this TV turns out better than what happened to you!

Best Buy still sells this tv(UN40C7000WF). But, anyway -- yes, I agree with your opinion of Samsung tvs. I have 3 myself. WOW! you have 350 combined inches of Samsung tvs? Do you have one in every room? Getting back to your screen flickering problem, with all of the considerable amount of money you have spent on your system -- don't go cheap on the hdmi cables and connectors. I paid $100.00 for a 6ft. Monster cable. I know that's crazy, but this cable will handle the high bandwidth that is required. I'm not saying you haven't already thought of this or that this is the problem, just trying to help. And of course, I assume that you are now using your 2 GTX 580's in sli mode.
Could be a problem there?

That's correct. If you want to use your pc with an Nvidia graphics card and you have a compatible 3d tv for Nvidia's 3dtv play, using Nvidia's emitter is the only way you can use 3dtv play right now. Otherwise you have to wait for them to release it. Otherwise you can only use the tv's own 2d to 3d conversion which pretty much sucks. The alternative is using Nvidia's 3d vision kit with it's glasses on a 3d vision compatible monitor.

Thanks for clearing that up. one question though, you are using the nvidia emitter, are you using the tv's glasses or the nvidia ones? I use a panasonic 37" LCD as a monitor and it looks great, perfect for gaming and everything else, text is clear. I did try other models with no luck, panasonic plasmas look terrible as a monitor, I am wondering if the new 3d format plasmas will work better with the huge refresh rate? could you keep us posted on how your new set looks when you get it.. cheers

Sorry, I thought I made that clear. I am using Samsung glasses. That is the point of having 3dtv play. I just got tired of waiting for them to release 3dtv play, so I got an Nvidia 3d vision kit in order to have the emitter. I am not the one getting a new tv, Vhayne is.
