Must I buy 3D Vision to enable Nvidia 3D on a 3DTV?
I read on nvidia website that to enable stereoscopic 3D on 3DTVs, I must buy 3DTV Play for $40 from Nvidia, that's OK.

However when I download the trial 14 days version and test it out, there are only 4 options to setup 3D, 3 requires Nvidia 3D Vision, 1 is the blue/red glasses option. So how am I going to enable 3D on a 3DTV, or must I buy 3D Vision from Nvidia? (which is non-sense, since also from Nvidia Website, if you already have 3D Vision, the software is free. So in that case, what is the paid software option for?)

Did you set your resolution to 720P/60 or 1080P/24?

No I haven't, but I had installed 3DTV Play, so the options must be different from just install the 3D Vision Software that comes with the driver, right? Here the setup options are the same, and also, there is no 3DTV Play logo shown in the Nvidia Control Panel as I have seen in screenshots on the internet.

Can you provide more details on what you are doing?
- What NVIDIA driver?
- Do you have 3DTV Play trial installed?
- What 3D TV are you using?

Is the 3dtv set to primary, in nvidia cp is the 3dtv's model number right. Also in device manager in model number right, for 3dtv. The pay software option is for people who don't have nvidia 3d kit, you don't need the kit.

So If I have a 3D laptop (GTX460M) with 3D kit/screen and IR emitter built in then I don't need to pay for 3DTV Play on my 3D samsung TV right? But how do I enable this software? Do I still need to download 3DTV Play software or is this built in to my latest drivers? NVidia site is so unclear on this for free upgrade users.

Thanks.

Just plug in the Samsung 3dtv, set it as primary display and i think you should see the 3dtvplay logo.

And for the origianl poster, be sure that the 3dtv is connected via HDMI, it should work that way.

3DTV Play is installed along with the current Nvidia drivers. If you have the 3D Vision glasses and emitter it is free, but you must have your emmitter connected for it to activate. If you do not have the Nvidia emitter, you'll need to purchase 3DTV Play to enable it. 3DTV Play will not activate unless the TV and your graphics card are listed on the 3DTV Play system requirements page http://www.nvidia.com/object/3dtv-play-system-requirements.html If your TV is not on the requirement/supported list you can submit it via http://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/2774 There's a PDF (user guide)at the bottom of the 3DTV Play requirement page for setting it up. If your TV and GPU is on the requirement page you'll see the 3DTV Play logo vividly displayed in the "set up stereoscopic 3D" tab of the Nvidia control panel. Then run and successfully complete the setup wizard and you are good to go. For more questions see the FAQ http://www.nvidia.co.in/object/3dtv-play-faq-in.html#q1 Nvidia 3DTV Play supports standard HDMI 1.4a 1080p24 and 720p50/60 stacked frame modes.

3DTV Play unfortunately will not let you do 1080P at 60, like you can with TriDef. In some games you can get away with playing at 1080P 24Hz and they will look good. In most games you'll need to play at 720P, which doesn't look so good on your 1080P big screen TV. Regardless, 3DTV does allow you to play games in 3D that you'd be unable to play via other software options. As always when gaming in 3D YMMV from game to game, driver releases, resolution and format.

(which is non-sense, since also from Nvidia Website, if you already have 3D Vision, the software is free. So in that case, what is the paid software option for?)


To be clear, buying 3DTV Play for the listed $39.99 enables you to activate 3DTV Play without the purchase of the Nvidia glasses and emitter which typically cost $150 and do not work with the majority of 3D TVs. 3DTV PLay allows you to use the TV manufacturers 3D glasses or 3rd party 3D glasses that are compatible with your TV.
