Confused... What is a "3D Vision Ready Display"?
It's funny, but you'd think there'd be an explanation to clarify this, but it's not on the website for 3D vision listed here: http://www.nvidia.com/object/3d-vision-system-requirements.html Nor does Google seem to know what it is: https://www.google.com/search?q=what+is+a+%223D+Vision-Ready+display%22&rlz=1C1ARAB_enUS443US444&oq=what+is+a+%223D+Vision-Ready+display%22&aqs=chrome.0.69i59j0.3582j0j4&sourceid=chrome&espv=210&es_sm=122&ie=UTF-8 That's just rather odd. Anyway, I assume it means I need a "3D-Ready" television or monitor, is that correct? If that's the case, then I'm very disappointed because I currently use a 70" Sharp Aquos Quattron television with 1920 x 1080 resolution, 4ms response time, and 240hz as my monitor, but it's not 3D-ready! What I find most unnerving about this when I used to own a wired pair of 3D glasses from Nvidia years back (before the advent of 3D televisions), that they had no problems at all working on CRT's, AND, the "newest" version at the time, which I didn't purchase more than ten-years ago, supported LCD's? All it required was the IR base to transmit to the glasses, the glasses to be plugged in (hence wired), and an Nvidia video card which turned your display into a 3D display without the need of a "3D-ready" set. Well, I really hope I'm wrong and all I need is a tv/monitor with 120hz... period... because in that case, I'm 50% there and all I'd need is the IR transmitter and glasses to enjoy 3D on my television.

3D vision ready display means nvidia certified monitor or a projector, which are true 120hz. You also have to use nvidia 3d kit, other glasses wont work. I believe your television is really just 60hz so its not supported. However, nvidia 3d features also 3dtv play, which is bit of a different from "3d vision". Its basically same driver, but you use your tv's 3d glasses and you have to purchase 3dtv license. Theres a trial, test before purchasing to make sure your tv is supported. http://www.nvidia.com/object/3dtv-play-14day-trial.html If not, tridef is your only option i suppose.

Thanks! Spent all night doing some research and seems you are partly correct; my hdtv *is* actually displaying in 120hz, however it cannot receive hz above 60hz. I found a program/hack which changes this so an hdtv can accept 120hz connections via this site: http://www.blurbusters.com/faq/120hz-pc-to-tv/ I've been able to get my hdtv to display 120hz successfully at 1280 x 720 resolution using this program. So, my next question is, since I found a way to make my hdtv accept 120hz connections and it can successfully display them at 120hz, would Nvidia 3D Vision work with this setup, or might I just be wasting money on something guaranteed to fail?

I'm not an expert, but I believe 3D Vision will check the EDID of the display against a known list of 3D Vision displays. If it's not recognised, it won't work. There are apparently hacks to change the EDID and force it to work, you could look into that perhaps.

What model of Aquos do you have? It should support 3D itself, and thus you would use their glasses. You would use the NVidia 3D TV Play software, but not the 3D Vision glasses.
