3Dvision on 3Dready TVs without PC?
Hi,
I am currently testing 3Dvision glasses on a Samsung PS50B450 (PN50B450 in U.S.A.) for 3D movies only. Not 4 games!
BTW: a great plasma for a very good price!

I wanted to recommend this bundle to our members due to worldwide availability, quality and styling.
But unlike all other IR emitters who do not need anything apart from VESA connection to TV,
3Dvision requires certain PC specs - even if not gaming.

I even got the IR driver installed on XP with GF7100 (workaround) but it does only show dim green - not bright green for being active.

Is it really true that it's impossible to ONLY watch 3D movies on XP or with an older or non-nVidia GFX card???
I tried Stereoscopic Player which works at correct output, just the emitter is not sending a signal to the glasses.

Does anyone know if there is ANY workaround to let the IR emitter output the TVs shutter signal?
Maybe hardware MOD?
Or are 3Dvision glasses compatible to other IR emitters?

THANK YOU!

P.S: We have no problem upgrading GFX card and OS but can not expect every one of our valued members to do so...

After the drivers are installed, in the setup wizard you choose what type of output the glasses should be synced with - CRT Display / Projector, DLP TV or anaglyph mode. Without this step probably the IR transmitter cannot send the right signal to the glasses. And as generally the 3D Vision is designed for PC use it becomes a problem...

I understand that.
Only reason I thought it should work is that there is also a cable from TV VESA port to the plug on the IR emitter for the TVs sync signal.
All other shutterglasses for 3D DLP and 3D ready TVs work with that alone and do not even need an additional power cable. But nVidia requires a PC connection as well - even if it is not used for games and would not need a PC sync.

Of course, nVidia does focus on gamers, but it would have been a very good mainstream alternative to difficult-to-buy shutterglasses for "3D Ready TVs" from small 3Dspecialized shops.

No problem for us, we have the equipment and OS as well.
I am just looking for easy ways to provide "3Denabled" to the millions of homes with a "3Dready" TV from Mitsubishi or Samsung.
Sony, LG, Panasonic, JVC, ... release their 3Dready models within the next few month and probably also have no shutterglasses added...

3DVision is an overpriced setup (ie. when adding the xtra glasses cost) with limited usage - Only for PC games, no other 3rd party software or hardware support whatsoever. I suggest you look at the alternative:

[url="http://www.ultimate3dheaven.com/dlp3dwiglfis.html"]http://www.ultimate3dheaven.com/dlp3dwiglfis.html[/url]

Much cheaper and specifically used for DLP tv's (Samsung and Mits)

Thank you, distant.
Unfortunately these are not as easily available around the world as the 3D vision system.
It is true that for the same price you can get a 22" 3D monitor with polarized glasses from Zal***.

I have 3Dvision working now on Win7 with a 8800gts.

3Dvision is not only for games but comes with a free 3D movie player (Stereoscopic Player licence which only works with 3D vision) and a 3D photo viewer.
You can also use it for other applications like CAD in e.g. architecture, 3D CG software like 3Dmax, scientific visualization and much more.
