    Is somekind of special 3D TV necessary if i would like to stream a 3D Movie onto my tv ?

    Or in other words: What kind of TV do I need to be able to stream 3D Films from my notebook ?

    a.) 3dtv (with glasses ofc)
    b.) HDMI 1.4 cable to connect your laptop to the 3D HDTV
    c.) if you're looking to play 3d blu rays or something of that nature then you'll need a 3d compatible media player... cyberlink powerdvd 11 is pretty good

    WiDi (intel wireless display) wouldn't work as you have the 3d version of the l702x (I'm assuming) and all the intel HD features are disabled on that version due to not having optimus techology (it's not compatible with the inbuilt 3d screen + IR emiter)

    even if you had the non-3d l702x you'd still be able to output 3d to a 3dtv via HDMI

    Apology, I thought only my L701x didn't have the Intel integrated GPU. :p
