I was wondering since I have an active 3D tv and not a passive one if I could hook up a 3D vision kit to it.
the TV I have is a Sharp Aquas lc60le857u.
Thanks in advanced for any help given.
Nvidia's emitter could be used to enable 3DTV Play for free vs paying the $40 for the product key.
You must use the Display Manufacturer's glasses though.
Nvidia has display profiles built into the driver that contain the active shutter sync timings since it is USB driven. Characteristics of each display can vary dramatically in some cases in regards to the time the image leaves the GPU and is eventually drawn. In other words Nvidia can only tell the moment the images leaves the GPU and has no way of knowing how much delay to add into the sync signal to compensate for any post processing done by the display or how many milliseconds it takes the screen to refresh.

I am fine with using the glasses that sharp has provided.
Where would I buy a 3D emitter or is it built into my GFX card.
my GFX card is a EVGA superclocked GTX 670 4GB
3DTV Play can be purchased atm for $40 and also has a free trial.

3DTV Play comes with an initial 5 activation limit. It can be reset, but can be quite a hassle according to posters. So be careful to avoid using driver sweepers or doing reformats.
If you have a 3D Vision emitter, 3DTV Play is enabled for free as long as the emitter remains connected.
Emitters are not sold seperately by Nvidia, they are only offered in a kit with glasses for usually $120-150.
You can find them on e-bay at a good price, but as always, buyer beware.
(no it is not built into your GPU)
