P377sma 120 hz 3D Upgrade

Is it possible for me to take a p377sma and upgrade the screen to 120 hz and buy the external emitter and 3D glasses kit and play in 3D with 980m sli assuming I had the proper internal cable and changed and bios to whatever it needed to be

 

980M doesn't support 3D whichever way so no..

The 980M does not support internal 3d no, you can hook it up to an external display and use 3d.

 

The 980M supports 3D, it's the system that doesn't. And it's only because of nVidias greed that it doesn't.

 

Too bad because the p377sma has a port for 3d emiter. I"m curious if prema can edit the bios of our p377sma and transfer 3d data from p370sm3 who is compatible with stereoscopic 3d vision.
i have an nvidia 3d emitter from my old m17x r3 and both 120Hz mate/non mate lg display.

 

Well no one elected to pay to get the ID enabled as no internal panels were really around to use.

 

My machine has the panel, Clevo opted not to pay to get it enabled despite the fact that it had the capability. The P377SM-A was available with the same 120hz panel the P370SM3 used from the time it launched, Clevo just didn't bother with a 3D model.

 

I don't think a 980m model sold with a 120hz screen direct. Not from sager certainly.

 

That's correct, mine originally came with 880M SLI but they still could have licensed it and chose not to and if it wasn't for nVidia and their greed, there wouldn't be a need for a license period, just an external emitter like the PC uses. There is literally no reason other than greed that nVidia had to set the systems up how they did.

 

Playing devils advocate here but Nvidia would argue that 3d takes man power to develop drivers for but only some of their customers use it so they don't want to build the cost into the card. Instead they put a license fee and card into the desktop displays. You can't do this on mobile panels so they made it a firmware unlock. The price of accessing that development time.

 

Sorry to thread hijack . .. it is kind of relevant, can a P170HM3 120hz monitor go in a P370EM? Whats the display input on the P370EM to go 120hz? Just for 2D gaming

 

Honestly don't go for 3D. This technology is obsolete now and no one supports it nowadays.

 

I would agree with you if it wasn't for the fact that purchasing the external emitter isn't an option. NVidia would still make money off of that. There is no technical reason I can think of why it shouldn't work just like it does on a PC but it doesn't.

 

i think p370em also has edp and lvds ports...then yes, you can connect the 120Hz screen through edp port.

 

i can play in 3d using my projector?

 

Going back a little bit here, but there hasn't been a 120hz with a 900 series screen on any manufacturers that I know of. I think it died along side the 780m for most companies. I could see why no company would want to pick up the license though, I don't think there was very much demand for 3D (from what I remember). I don't think I saw a lot of people buying the glasses with compatible models, or upgrading screens specifically for 3D.

I don't think 3D took off quite like companies were expecting it to, for TVs or computers.

 

Might depend on the projector. NVidia cards can push the signal, I think Cyberlink has the ability to read/output in it, but if your projector won't send a 3d signal none of that will matter.

 

It would need to be certified to work under Nvidia 3d, if you have some other third party solution for that projector it should not be impacted.

 

sry didnt mean to type that as a question . i meant that i can play in 3d on my projector . not just films but games as well. problem is my projector is only 720p in 3d mode so it doesnt look to good. also most games have too many glitches that break the 3d effect.

 

With the focus moving to VR I think we will struggle to find support for it.

 

I hadn't even thought of that. Very valid point. VR had been coming in after 3D had already started to get phased out. It would make it much more difficult for companies to want to design products or software for 3D, when there looks to be more incentive on VR.

 

I think there's just some who recall that higher refresh screens and glasses were lower dollar investments than a full VR headset and possibly a new system to support it, and aren't ready to make the VR jump.

 

But it was a niche that contained the hardcore looking for a different experience who most of which has moved over which makes the 3D glasses niche even smaller and less focused.

I have a 3d monitor and glasses so i am a little disappointed too but it's obvious where this is going.

 

How to turn on the 3D emitter? I have P377sma ,bios PMv2, emitter P370sm3. monitor 120Hz, gtx 780m
