3D Vision with Steam Stream
I have my gaming PC in my bedroom linked to my junker in the living room which only has a 8800 GTX hooked up to my 60" Mitsubishi 3D capable DLP I've been using steam to stream my games from the bedroom to the living room and it works pretty well with most of the time no noticeable latency. I tried to hook up my 3D vision up to the Mitsubishi, and games running directly off of the HDD work well with 3D vision, but that PC can't handle a lot of the more graphically demanding games. My gaming PC has a GTX 970 OC'ed so of course I'm going to want to play my games with that PC. That TV/monitor that I have my good pc hooked up to also has 3D capabilities, but the 3D on this TV is ugly and full of crosstalk. Also on this Samsung 3DTV, The 3D Play software it forces me to use limits me to only 720p or 1080p 24hz in 3D. So basically, I want to be able to play my games maxed out with 3D in my living room without having to relocate my gaming PC I only own one 3D kit and I want my good PC to stay in the bedroom, but I want to be able to stream the games from it to the living room It's really neat being able to play Far Cry 4 and other high end games from my weak PC in the living room, but I was hoping that someone could help me out here and tell me if there is a way to still stream the games and also have them work in 3D. I'd appreciate any input or advice. Thanks

I was wondering if there was a way to trick my gaming PC ino thinking it's hooked up to a DLP to put it into but I needed checkerboard 3D mode

If you're Samsung is a HDMI 1.4 compatible version that is capable of Checkerboard, it will be supported via 3DTV Play in that format. As I recall someone said that you need to connect to a certain HDMI port and possibly rename it as well, to enable Checkerboard support.

It's been forever since I used my Samsung for 3D gaming. I see now that it has the HDMI 1.4 checkerboard support. I hooked my emitter up to the gaming PC and was getting the checkerboard 3D on the Samsung, but strangely it wouldn't show up the same way streamed to the other PC. I was getting the double image and green 3D ready text on the Samsung while streaming to the PC in the living room, but the 3D image or green 3D ready text didn't transfer. It's strange, because the screen has always mirrored to the other with mouse cursor and all. I can even get it to display the desktop remotely if I alt-tab out of the game on the host PC. You would think if I'm getting 3D on the host PC as evident by the blurred look and doubled image of the screen without the glasses on, that it would be doing the same on the client PC, but nothing. It displays only a 2D image on the Mitsubishi as if 3D was off.

Well since your Samsung supports Checkerboard via 3DTV Play, I know that it uses an LCD panel. I think (but I'm not sure) that LCD panels use a different interlacing method than "older" DLP rear projection 3D HDTVs. Originally, the DLP chipsets being used in their 1920x1080 3D HDTVs did not contain a full mirror array. They had a 960x540 mirror array, so they cheated by using Checkerboard during 2D playback as well as for 3D. They called it SmoothPicture™ algorithm. http://www.eetimes.com/document.asp?doc_id=1273785&page_number=2
