    Hey, I’m about to buy a P370EM but I have a question.
    I own a Benq XL2420T with 3D vision 2 glasses that I use.
    Does anyone know if the driver of a P370EM with a GTX680m have the 3d stereoscopic in the driver Nvidia.
    I know that some P150EM/170EM can’t enable 3d stereoscopic due to the intel HD4000.

    So if there are some P370EM users’ which use a 120Hz 3D Vision 2 external display with their laptops.

    Thank you for your answers.

    I know that the cards are 3D ready - whether it's built into the driver or is otherwise hardware driven, I'm not sure. But the profiles for specific games is part of the driver.

    If you're outputting to an external display though, the Intel HD 4000 supports 3D as well. I'm just now sure how well.

    As far as I am aware of the matter, the 370EM does not have switchable graphics, so no HD 4000 interface between the dedicated GPU and the external monitor.

    Ok thanks for the answers.
    Before buying this laptop I just want to be sure that this laptop can enable 3d stereoscopic in driver panel (P150EM can't)

    You're correct in that it doesn't have switchable graphics (no Optimus), but that doesn't hold any bearing on how the external outputs are handled. On a desktop, you connect your display source directly to the port on the add-on card. That's not the same case with the mobile counterparts of discrete graphics. The ports are soldered to the board, not the dGPU.

    You're welcome!
