3D Vision on Sony Bravia 3D-TV questions about 3D vision setup.
hello guys.
i am new to this forums and i have few really easy questions that i think i already know the answer to but gotta ask the pros.
i have a nice gaming Rig with nVidia GeForce GTX480. hooked to an HDTV. 32" Samsung old thing.
i am planning to buy a new 3D-TV. probably going for a SONY Bravia 40" Full HD 3D-TV. comes with 2 glasses and build-in 3D receiver for the glasses. (as they told me in the store).
questions are:
* can i get the nVidia 3D Vision 2. that comes with 1 glasses and hook it to the PC and i use the SONY 3D-TV glasses to play.?
* do i need to hook my GTX480 to the TV using 2 HDMI cables to enable 3D.? how will that work.? does all 3D TVs have this option.?
* what about 3D movies. i have a Blue-Ray driver on the rig. can i watch 3D Movies. what softwares do i need. anything free?

If you get a 3D TV you MUST use 3DTV Play(available for $40), NOT 3D Vision(1 or 2). 3D Vision is for 3D computer monitors only, not 3D TV's.
With 3DTV Play you use the glasses that came with the TV, not Nvidia glasses.
To hook youre 480 up you would use one HDMI cable. If you were hooking it up to a 3D monitor you would use dual link DVI. And here it comes, the limits of 3DTV Play. Due to the limited bandwidth of HDMI, you will be limited to the following resolutions: 1080p at 24 frames(for movie watching) and 720p at 60 frames(for gaming). I know, it kind of sucks, but if you want full 1080p in 60 frames the only option is to use a 3D monitor.
I am unable to answer your question about 3D movies, as I use a PS3 to do this myself. Sorry :(

This is not exactly true. 3D Vision is the preferred software for use with 3DTVs that support it. 3DTV Play is used only if your 3DTV is incompatible with 3D Vision. For those not familiar with this issue (1920x1080 3D gaming vs 1280x720 3D gaming), check out these threads:

interesting stuff. Ive just recently picked up a samsung 3dtv and am in the process of trying all the options, those links are very nice. Ive used 3dtv play and was not completly impressed. Some things are bad (yes just awful-L4D 2 looks like a psp game) but skyrim while sitting on my couch was amazing to see. If possable i would rather use the tv as a 3d monitor.

Watercool any gpu cheap, AKA- "The Mod"
so, i shall get the TV. i will actually go for a Samsung 40" 3D Smart TV. Series 7 or 8.
do you think i better get the 3DTV Play or buy the 3D vision. because if i get 3D vision i get 3DTV Play for free.
is there a trial of the 3DTV play i can try before i decide?
