    Hey guys,
    I recently recieved the 3D M17x and was wondering on how to turn it on in game? I tested the 3D with the photo viewer that comes with the laptop and it works fine, but how do I turn it on in game? I have Crysis 2 with me and I was trying to turn it on in game but couldn't figure it out how to make it work in game. I tried playing around the 3D option they give in there (in game) but it doesn't work. The 3D does start in game with that option but I can't watch 3D. Is there any guide regarding it to help how to make 3D work in game? Plzz help...ASAP!!

    I have the M17x 3D laptop and was trying to figure out what exactly is 3D steroscopic display or even if the laptop supports it or not? What are it's pros and cons and if I can activate it how do I do so in game?

    Help me by please shedding some light on this Stereo stuff.....am not that techy person....just an average computer person....

    I think in Crysis 2 you have to enable 3D in the menu of the game.
