Hello.A few years back i purchased a pair of wired e dimensional 3d shutter glasses.I didn't have much luck with getting thm to work very well as i was using an ati card which as i now know are useless when it comes to 3d.When i last tried my e dimensional glasses it was on a crt monitor,iv since purchased a lcd screen on which the glasses don't work.All i get is a black screen unless i tilt my head on a very uncomfortable angle :(.I also however have a 29' tv hooked up through s-video and was thinking if i could get 3d onto the tv it would be amazing.Since i have very little experience with 3d im not sure if it is possible.I was wondering if anyone might have an idea of how i might achieve it?.I have just purchased a nvidia card but im still waiting on it's arival so i was wondering do the nvidia drivers themselves produce a stereo image or is it the e dimensional dongle that converts the image?.If it is the drivers then i should be able hook up the dongle to the lcd to activate the glasses but run tv in stereo mode to produce the image.Any help with how i might be able to 3d on my tv would be greatly appreciated.

You need the dongle for the shutter glasses to work. If you don't want to use the dongle, dig up some anaglyph glasses. You also don't need to install the ED drivers as the nvidia ones will work with the shutter glasses without any modification. You only need the ED drivers for when you wish to use an ATi card for stereo 3d (haven't tried it, can't say if I like it or not).
As for TV stereo 3d, I would highly recommend NOT using shutter glasses as when you TV out, the TV refresh rate is 60htz (assuming you have a non LCD/Plasma TV), meaning you have to downgrade your nice CRT monitor's refresh rate to 60htz (ie, 30htz per eye!) which causes MAJOR flickering! Running your nvidia 3D driver in "anaglyph" instead of page flipping is what you should do as there is no flickering and you still get a decent 3D image on your TV.
