  1 / 2    
hi all, im new to 3D Experience, so bear with me, my Video Card its a EVGA GTX 680 compatible with 3D Vision (Right?) Second, im about to buy the 3D Vision 2 Kit to play Games in 3D (since i was blown away with the Nintendo 3DS) My only worry is this: Do i need a 3D Monitor to been able to use all the 3D Vision features, or do my HDTV LED Samsung UN32B6000 model with Auto Motion Plus (120Hz/100Hz) will do? if not please recommend me cheap 32 inch Compatible monitor Thanks, i hope my LED TV will do (im kinda low on budget) Thanks for Replies.

Yes your 680 supports it, no you don't buy a 3D Vision kit. Instead look for the Nvidia 3DTV Play software, you simply buy that then use the glasses that came with your TV. That is assuming your TV is compatible, afraid I can't help you there, because I can't get on the crappy Nvidia website to give you the list of TV's that work. Someone else will be able to tell you.

I don't think it came with glasses, looks like it isn't even a 3D TV. It says it's 120hz and has a PC input but I have no clue whether or not it'd work with CRT mode.

No, my LED Tv doesnt show 3D features anywhere, just 120HZ (i think internaly) but i was told the 3D Vision Kit doesnt requier 3D Tv´s at all (i should be wrong)

Sorry I can't say anything for certain here but if I was you I'd hook up the PC to the VGA port, assuming it has one for PC output, and check if it shows up as a 120hz monitor or a 60hz one. I think older 120hz models don't actually have 120hz inputs and technically fake the 120hz.

I have a 3ds XL and I do really like the thing, but if the 3D on it impresses you that much you'll be floored by a really good 3D Vision config, that's setup properly using the HeliX Mods and tweaking the convergence.

the 120 hz feature comes up with an external option in my Led TV Menu (off, clear, standar, smoth) that way i enable 120hz but still my pc info reads 60Hz

Its a fake 120hz. Thats not a 3D display I am afraid to tell you. I think it throws in like a simulated farme in between each. Like it fills the gap in motion. I am not quite sure. Like there are displays that claim to be 300hz, but its all fake advertising. Its unfortunate because 3d vision smashes 3DSXL to pieces.

I don't know if 3D Vision Discover(big fancy name for anaglyph) would work or not but I wouldn't recommend it at all. If and when you buy a 3D TV, monitor, or projector. Do your homework, make sure it's actually compatible 3D Vision or 3DTV Play before you purchase it.

I would suggest buying a 3d vision 2 monitor. lightboost is good, plus you'll get full resolution. You'll be amazed at a full NVidia 3d vision setup. Amazon, Newegg, TigerDirect, etc, usually have a couple combo deals, monitor + NVidia 3d kit, available. The Asus VG278H Comes with it's own emmiter and set of glasses. If you want the best 3d visiuals available right now, that's probably your best bet.

NP, goodluck. Its definitely a heck of a lot better then 3DS and with a huge library but you got to do what you go to do.
