Will my TV work with 3D?
I have a computer and gpu that is 3D compatible, along side nvidia wireless 3D glasses (Coming in the mail soon). Would a Vizio 47" 120hz refresh rate tv be compatible with 3D?
I plan to connect my pc to my tv through HDMI connection, if that helps.

no it has to be off the nvidia list to work http://www.nvidia.com/object/3d-vision-system-requirements.html

Not true. Most people are using 3DTVs that are not on the 3D Vision list, yet they work perfectly with 3D Vision. Namely, all 3DTVs that support checkerboard and frame sequential modes (All Mitsubishi and some samsung 3DTVs).

My TV has worked with 3DTV play since I got it (over a year ago), looooong before it was added to Nvidia's 'supported' list. Can't say for sure, but if your TV supports HDMI 1.4 frame-packing (not frame sequential, that's not the same thing) then it [i]should[/i] work. Fingers crossed /wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' />

Why did you order the Nvidia 3D glasses? With a 3D TV, you use the glasses that came with the TV, not Nvidia's glasses. Those are only used if you are you have a 120hz LCD computer monitor.

Indeed. It's usually smarter to research [i]before[/i] you buy.

Incidentally, what model is your Vizio? I've just bought a model E3D470VX, which works perfectly fine with 3dtv play. But it uses the TV's OWN glasses.
Also, if your tv is 120hz but without 3d, that only means that it's a 60hz input with an extra frame interpolated between real frames by the tv to make the image look smoother. It will NOT do 3d unless it specifically says it's 3d capable.

Actually, it looks like nVidia has a list of compatible 3D TVs for 3D Vision here, looks like my set's on this set... Anything 120Hz and up should do the trick, I would think (in my case, it's a Toshiba 240Hz LED HDTV)
http://www.nvidia.com/object/3dtv-play-system-requirements.html

In terms of Vizio, I saw a couple of 47" models on there, make sure yours matches up with the model numbers on that list.
Although I believe you will need to do 3D Vision over 3D Play on HDTVs, but if things go right, PC games, and Blu-ray movies should work just the same as on dedicated 3D Vision displays, if I'm seeing these specs right.

I'm assuming that "passive 3d" sets as long as they are 120Hz or higher will work for 3D Vision as much the same as "active 3d" sets, correct?

This is not a list 3D Vision compatible TVs.
Hopefully nobody bought the wrong TV based on this misinformation.

I know that it's 3D Play, but that's probably what the OP needs, not just 3D Vision itself, that's where I was REALLY getting at.
