    Hi guys, Its boxing day tom, I saw a very nice deal on one of the TV's "Samsung PN59D550 59" 3D Plasma TV" and its only $1k. I was wondering if I would be able to watch 3D movies on the TV with my laptop as the source (Sager 8170 3D-ready) ??? If it is, is it possible through HDMI? or DVI? :confused:

    Thanks!!

    Hdmi, and you need 3dtv play from nvidia instead of the 3dvision kit. :)
    Then be sure to download the update for it, but before so check if the tv is supported by 3dtv play otherwise you will not be able to use 3d advanced settings such cross fading adjustments and 3d dot sight :)
    Well you can use them using an hacked monitor driver as I did anyway, I guess that shouldn't be a problem at all.
    You need only an hdmi cable at least 1.3c or 1.4a. Anything above 1.3b has enough bandwidth for 3d display.

    hi, I read this before I got my 3dtv and wondered the same thing. The solution is to buy nvidia's 3dtv play which allows you to output 3d at 720p@60hz and 1080p@24hz using framepacking. the reason you cant do 1080p@60hz is because you would need a dvi dual link connection, and no current tv has a dual link dvi port unfortunately, well at least to my knowledge. if you are just playing movies i would not even use your laptop, i would use a bluray player, which will output full 1080p at a very very smooth 24fps, which is the industry standard for movies. anyhow i cant run bf3 in 3d at 60hz on 1080p with my 485m even on low settings, but i can run it in 3d at 120hz on 720p so im not really bothered, and it still looks great.

    You would think they would have a solution like using two hdmi cables, but the tv companies are not very creative. anyways

    If you are looking for a 42" 3dtv with the cheap passive glasses i recommend the toshiba 42tl515u, although im not thrilled with the method that is use to deliver the 3d, the color and contrast are unsurpassed in its price range, and it has netflix and a bunch of other goodies built in.
