    Hey, I have an m17x31 with SLI GTX 260ms that I've paired witha Vizio XVT3D554SV ( link) using an HDMI cable ( link).

    I am hoping to use the laptop to watch and play movies and games in 3D but am unsure how to do it or what I would need.

    Intel® Core™2 Duo T9800 2.93GHz (6MB Cache, 1066MHz FSB)
    Windows Vista Home Premium (64 bit)
    Dual NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 260M, 2GB – SLI® Enabled
    17-inch WideXGA+ 1440x900 (900p)
    6GB DDR3 at 1333MHz
    Slot-Load Dual Layer DVD Burner (DVD+-RW, CD-RW)

    I know Bluray is needed for the 3D source, but I'm planning on downloading content, or play games through the computer.

    I haven't messed with the verde drivers but I saw that the 266.35's are up and seem to be running with the 260m/280ms and R1s, and I was wondering if this would work with Nvidia 3DTV Play (I don't have Nvidia 3D Vision, the glasses are stereoscopic). I see that the tv is supported, however the GPU is not. If it's a "power" issue will having SLI make it function?

    Thanks for any help.
