    Nope, not possible with your GPU sorry; and even if it were, then it wouldnt work for games as the 460/560 are just barely powerful enough to do games in 3D, yet alone a 260.

    Furthermore you'd need a 3D screen, and Emitter, and all that Jazz.

    If you want 3D just walk outside and look around at the 3D world that awaits you, on screen it is no more than a trick of the eye. A costly one at that!

    Yeah, G60jx Doesn't have a 3D screen. Sorry :/

    ..I wonder how it would perform on a 3DTV though....

    Thw wired glasses don't need an emitter; however, they do need a 3D compatible screen (120hz).

    I did some search and found a list of NVIDIA 3D Vision Ready GeForce Graphics Cards and my gts360m is there
    List of NVIDIA 3D Vision Ready GeForce Video Cards
    About the display, in nvidia control panel I can set up custom resolusion and I can set it to 120hz, If I will do it how do you think?

    The LCD screen on your computer is 60hz, to get 3D to work you need 120hz.
    Setting you screen setting to that in the nvidia control panel wont help as you screen wont be able to do it.
    To output to a external 3D monitor/tv you need HDMI 1.4 which the G60JX also doenst have :(
    While the gtx 360m is listed as a 3D Vision Ready card the only way you'll be able to do so is to purchase a new screen for your laptop that is 3D ready.
