    I was playing around with 3D on my M17x R3, and I can't get Call of Duty Black Ops (Xbox) to play in 3D. I can get the side-by-side to display on my M17x's screen, but I can't figure out how to make the images stack. I have my 3D glasses physically plugged into my M17x. I have the Xbox 360 hooked up via "HDMI IN" slot. 3D is enabled on my M17x.

    I don't see why it wouldn't be possible to play in 3D; I must just be missing something... Thanks. [:

    If I recall, the HDMI IN on the m17x is not HDMI 1.4, thus will not display 3d from external sources. Please correct me if this is wrong.

    No you are right. It does not have the ability to display a 3D source other than those from the computer, not an external source.

    You're probably right. I can't get it to work. Why play it on the Xbox when you bought a $2,000 computer? ;D

    Thanks a lot. [:

    The 3D for Black Ops is better on the PS3/360 unfortunately, check my other thread for a device that will allow you to use HDMI-In for 3D.
