samsung PN42B450 Help Please
1. Does this Plasma tv support Nvidia 3d ready. I read that people have it and that it works, though i dont see anything official stating this,

2. if yes to 1, please read belowe and help a fellow out, i';ve been struggling for over 6 hours trying to get this working. I am going to return it tomorrow if I have no success.


I have just purchased a Samsung Pn42B450 and can not get Nvidia 3d Vision to work.

I have my resolution set to the 1072x768, 60 hrtz, in 3d checkerboard mode 1 (everything the manual states is require for 3d to work) though everytime i run the nvidia 3d setup the plasma switches from 60 hrtz to 75.

I assume this is the issue, anyone know a fix, or what im doing wrong. as well i beleive i have all the latest drivers as just dled all of them in the past week

Help please.

Its a pretty intuitive process...assuming you meet the requirements and have proper hardware.

1. Put TV in 3D mode
2. Install software - it will prompt you to plug usb in to the base and the vesa cable from the TV in to the base(2nd step) as well as choose TV you are using (4th step in the software wizard) Your TV is not going to be detected so you will need to choose Generic DLP from the menu

After that is complete you will see a 3D medical test and the glasses should turn on every time anything 3D happens on your screen using nvidias software.

I suggest using 1.15 drivers for 3D vision as the last 3 driver releases have an issue where you can't choose DLP TV in the detection process. I believe they are working on the fix.

At what point do you get stuck? When the Hz changes are you booted out of the wizard, or does 3D mode stop working?

Ok. So i disconnect the Samsung 2233 22inch monitor - Which, wow, works amazing..., - and plug the HDMI to DVI cable that came with the nvida glasses into the hdmi 2 port on the Plasma (like the instructions state (it titled hdmi/dvi input).

I set the plasma to the 1024x768 at 60 hertz, then start the wizard... this is where it gets all screwy.
when i start the wizard the set then goes to 75 hertz, causing some weird issues and taking the plamsa itself out of its 3d mode.

The most recent drivers (the one releaseed Dec 16) i got to try at lunch, and at least now during it it gives me the DLP.. options...

-

Thanks for the quick reply

- I have not tried set by step like you said, as all the software was installed with the 2233 last week, all i did was "hook up" the 450. -
though i reinstalled most the of software at lunch. and will be trying to get this working all evening.

1. Yes, I do have all the hardware (GTX 275, Nvdia glasses etc.) and it all works amazingly on the 2233 samsung monitor..

2 - This may have been the issue..

3.. This is a Plasma, which isnt 'officially' supported by Nvidia, though i know it does work from numerous posters, so do i still use the "generic DLP" option

Thanks to all who reply

The bug report threads for 1.17-1.19 might apply to you. Try rolling back your drivers to 1.15. If that doesn't work, then you've got another issue.

Hi All

A couple of things.

First we have never certified that plasma so its use on your own risk. Our supported list of displays is published on the website.

Second, you can force a "Generic DLP mode" for that Plasma with v1.19 CD drivers. Try that and see if it works for you.

Is there any chance that you will ever officially support this family of tv. I got a PN42B450B1D for very cheap and it looks amazing. I don't know what would be holding you guys back from having official support. Fix it fix it fix it fix it fix it.... fix it fix it fix it fix it fix it.

So I finally got 3d to work on my plasma and while 3d movies look wonderful, 3d gaming on this plasma is garbage. The tv uses 16x9 pixels and so everything is stretched from 4:3 to 16x9 because of the 1024x768 native resolution. It also has pretty bad ghosting, much worse than my 22" sammy.

So there you go, unless a game allows independent aspect ratio adjustment, games will always be stretched.
