3D tv Compatibility list
  1 / 2    
How often is the compatibility list found here: [url="http://www.nvidia.com/object/3D_Vision_Requirements.html"]Nvidia Compatibility List[/url] updated? Recently I've been seeing 3D HDTVs advertised and, while not listed, might work? Specifically I was thinking about buying a Samsung LN46C750 46-Inch 1080p 240 Hz LCD HDTV 120Hz time-sequential 3D CCFL backlit LCD display. But whatever. Just generally seeing more "3D HDTV's" being advertised for 2010 and wondered if any were compatible with Nvidia 3D Vision glasses.

It just seems odd to me that LCD monitors are supported, but LCD HDTV's arent listed, even though advertised as 3D. Isn't it a bit silly to produce an expensive product like this that would only be useful to a rather narrow field of consumers. I mean, I want 3D gaming. I want 3D gaming on an at least 46 inch screen. I DON'T want a huge honkin DLP. Yes there is the projector solution but they're fiddly and light sensitive. In an apartment it's just not a viable solution. If I had a basement, sure maybe. Anyway. HDTV 3d Compatible?

Almost all the new 3D HDTVs will require their own proprietary glasses.
all the displays take the same hdmi1.4 input that defines left and right images, then the display does pretty much whatever it wants without possible outside control from the computer.

The 3D vision driver can generate pictures for these TVs, for instance Nvidia will sell 3D drivers without glasses specifically tageting these displays in a product called "Nvidia 3DTV play" (40$ without glasses, free if you already own 3Dvison glasses)
But as far as the 3D vision glasses are concerned, they do not work with any of these new TVs so far and there is very little chance they will ever work since these TVs do not have external 3D sync ports. If somehow nvidia managed to make them work it would be a big surprise.

Ok so what if i get any 3D HDTV out there, and hook it up to my PC and play a movie or a game or whatever. Would the tv make it 3D then? Im guessing no, the program or whatever would need added "3D data" or something, but figured id ask anyway.

No you need a 3D driver to support the TV. For gaming you could use the Nvidia 3DTV Play, but its not out yet. For movies you would need a stand-alone 3D BluRay player or a PS3. I don't believe there is any way to watch 3D videos on a HDMI 1.4 3D HDTV using a PC.

Some of these TVs have manual format overrides (not sure about the Panasonics but the first Samsung one does have the feature).
It allows you to manually tell the TV to accept side by side inputs which you can output from Stereoscopic player for example.

Ok I fired off an email to samsung regarding compatibility of certain HDTVs. Here is their reply:


Thank you for contacting Samsung Electronics.

1.With reference to your e-mail, we understand that you want to know whether the TV UN46C8000XF is
compatible with the Nvidia vision
2.system.

Yes, it is compatible.

If you require any further information, feel free to contact us.

Thank you,

Ask them for more information :
-what hardware configuration
-does it need Nvidia "geforce 3D vision driver" or Nvidia "3DTV play"
-what software configuration in the 3D driver
-glasses compatibility


I'm curious

Not mening to hijack this thread, but why is the GTX series of cards not listed for 3d bluray support? Must be some confusion no?

Weird. And why would the GT 240 work? I've never even heard of that card before!

I did that shortly after posting here. Will let you know. I also wasn't sure what they meant by "nvidia vision system".
Also, can you tell me the difference between Nvidia 3D vision and Nvidia 3DTV?
