connecting to a 3D telly

[moyesboy]

With the weather so poor I actually fired up Phoienix for thre first time in ages.
I connected my laptop to my new samsung LED telly and noticed there was a stereo 3D option on the display settings, so I tried it.
The graphics actuallylooked pretty good using the specs thart came with the telly.

However there was a distinct delay on the controls not noticeable when operating in 2D mode. The onboard graphics seemed to be coping without any jitteriness though...

I wonder if this is just a finction of the 3D telly and the frequency of it?

I have a samsung led 3d tv and i have not been aware of any delay in the controls. I do get a slight "shadow" effect tho

My guess is that the lag is being introduced by the TV deciding which objects are close and which are distant. That processing takes time I guess.

The only way (that I know of) to get proper 3D, is to run TriDef 3D on the PC, and have that output to the TV in side-by-side mode. Then turn on 3D side-by-side on the telly, and bobs your uncle. True 3D with real depth perception. Tridef works with direct X, so it knows how close things are to the virtual camera so it can output accordingly.

I experimented with it on my 3D monitor, but despite it being a 120Hz screen, there is no way to get it to work at 60FPS per eye without Phoenix supporting Nvidia's native 3D mode whatever it's called. 30FPS per eye that the solution above produces, I find too flickery.
