Yes i does ?

The Samsung SyncMaster S27A950D has a Dual Link DVI input and is rated as Nvidia 3D vision ready /biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':biggrin:' />

These two are not supported :

Samsung T27A950

Samsung T27A750

They have built in tuners and stuff and no DVI input. The S27A950D is a gaming monitor the other two are Monitor/TV´s.

From a site in Denmark :

Diagonal størrelse 27" - widescreen
Maks. opløsning 1920 x 1080
Video Format 1080p (FullHD)
Farve support 16,7 millioner farver
Responstid 2 ms
Display Positions Indstillinger Tilt
Signal Input HDMI, DVI-D, DisplayPort
Egenskaber Power off timer, MagicColor, HDCP, 3D Vision-Ready (120Hz), MagicAngle, MagicBright 3, Eco Light Sensor, Eco Motion Sensor, 2D til 3D konvertering

That Samsung monitor is not Nvidia 3D Vision ready until it's on the official Nvidia list http://www.nvidia.com/object/3d-vision-requirements.html
That Danish website may have made a mistake confusing it's real 120Hz 3D mode with Nvidia 3D Vision.

Every press release and review of this monitor I read state clearly that this monitor uses Samsung's proprietary glasses technology and is not compatible with Nvidia 3D Vision : neither software (3D Vision driver) or hardware (emitter and glasses).
Maybe Nvidia will support it in the future, but for now you should consider it as not supported.

What a shame :0). I saw this Monitor in a PC store this friday and i have never seen this nice a picture on a monitor before. ITS FREAKING beautiful ;0)

I really hope they will support this monitor at some time ....

PS. The 2D to 3D feature should work really well with 3D games and no performance hit ;0). Maybe thats the way to go when Nvidia are having all these 3D software problems /w00twave.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':w00twave:' />

I would also love to see 3D Vision support for the SA950 or at least in combination with the 3D Vision Kit instead of the manufacture glasses.
As far as I know, the SA950 does support Nvidia 3DTV Play when wired with a HDMI cable.
If that's so, we can at least run it on 720p 60hz / 1080p 24/(30)hz which would be a good workaround until this monitor will eventually be fully supported.

ARRGHH !!! I just bought one of these monitors !! I have it now, and was wondering like heck why its not working !

Sooo.... Gutted.


Edit: [i]"The other big news is that the new displays make use of a proprietary 3D technology that is an entirely seperate entity from Nvidia 3D Vision[b] but is specifically designed for PC users[/b]."[/i

That from,
http://www.pcmonitors.org/news/samsung-unveils-a950-and-a750-series-3d-monitors-at-ces-2011-including-27-inches]

So I can play 3d movies, but zero games?

Surely they can work together, when is the profile coming out? This is disaster.

This is the most beautiful monitor i have ever seen.

Andrew, do you have any information for people like me? I am so sad.

Hi

Please read this article. We did not work with Samsung on their monitors and we cannot 3D support for them.

"dah dah dah....[i] [b]will not support Nvidia 3D vision[/b], although Samsung were the first on the market with a 120Hz 3D-capable LCD PC monitor for the launch of Nvidia’s 3D Vision technology. [b]Why they’ve decided not to support 3D Vision anymore is not clear,[/b] but most likely because they want to sell more of their active shutter glasses and not use Nvidia’s.


I can only guess.

I'm sure there is a lot of argy-bargy between Nvidia and its 3D partners... Guess Nvidia just lost their oldest friend. Well, I will certainly be on the look out for a better 3D option, and will jump ship immediately if found. Show us what you've got Samsung - TriDef.

But for now, I have grabbed literally the last Acer 27" 3D monitor available in the country. Phew.:)

Hey All. I am getting a very high spec computer but can't decide whether to get the SA950 or the 32" D6510 Smart 3D LED TV. I will be running an nVidia graphics card so should I just get the SA950? The extra 5 inches of the TV would be nice. Any thoughts on this? Both are the same price.

If you are a gamer, I personally couldn't recommend the SA950. I have both it, and the Acer 27 next to me, and the Sammy is going back. Very disappointed.

I wouldn't call Just Cause 2 a very 'ghosty' game, I would play it for hours on my old Samsung 2233rz, which was a well know ghosting culprit.... But the SA950's ghosting is so bad, it makes the 2233rz look good.

Like I said however, something is up with that, because using the in-built 2D to 3D conversion, the 3d effect is much more subdued, but there is almost no ghosting whatsoever.

I have just ordered the SA950. I am running a GTX 460 ( 1 Gb ) in an i7 machine. I'm not as much a gamer as many here, but do use Flight Simulator FSX, an application that is now some 4 years at least old and does not run in 3d. However, MS are working on Flight, still locked down by NDAs, which may have 3d.

Many of us who fly FSX use NV GPUs as the shaders work better in clouds than the ATI cards, it's a function of the archaic programming in FSX. ATI cards tend to cause frame rates to drop when flying in clouds. Hence my ( now old) NV GPU. I understand that I will be able to run 2D ok with a DVI-D connection @ 120 Hz. From what I am reading above, if I buy the 3D Vision pack to get the IR emitter then I will can enable the driver mode in NV ( I use the NV Inspector app to set AA options), which in turn will give me 3D using the Samsung glasses in side- by- side mode, other than the cross eyed thing which is fixable. Do I have that right?

What's the resolution penalty for side- by- side mode? I know FSX is archaic compared to some of the applications I have seen mentioned inn this thread.........

Thanks, Bruce

Hi All

As a reminder, 3D Vision software IR emitter emulators are not an official NVIDIA product and no support will be offered. This will also void your product's warranty and violates our End User Software License Agreement (EULA).

While we encourage users to share information via the NVIDIA forums, we cannot provide any support for non-sanctioned, 3rd party software that violates our EULA. Also note that this software emulator may not work with current or future drivers.
