3D Glasses

[BeoTeK]

If memory serves, I have this monitor: Samsung S27A950D


I know you primarily get two type of 3D glasses; active and passive. From my understanding is that this monitor uses the active glasses. I can't find any specifics on model number for the glasses and thus can't find any way to purchase them locally or even how much I'll be looking at.

Does it matter what glasses I get, can I get other active glasses?

Don't suppose the crappy ones you get in the cinemas will work?

its quite difficult to find glasses for Samsung products. especially the older types. it took us more than a year to find a pair that works on our tv.

Those are passive... As far as active ones go, I think there's a few different kinds. My buddy got a 3D projector and I think I found it needs specific DLP compatible glasses, so you'll probably want to do a bit more digging... Sorry I can't be more specific than that.

Active glasses are the battery operated ones

the pair spec'd for that monitor is the SSG-M3750CR, but you may have to find a newer compatible pair

Ok, so I've borrowed a pair of active and passive glasses from a friend. Now how do I go about setting this up to test it?

The monitor has a few options for 3D including; 2D->3D and frame sequential.

Then do I also need to set this up through the nVidia Control Panel?

I think so yes. for the games at least

next is, I'll obviously need some 3D material, ie movie?

your monitor should be able to convert 2D to 3D. it will obviously not be as good as original 3D content

Then do the settings or variables change depending on watching 3D content as opposed to converting 2D to 3D.

not as far as I know. it just doesn't look as good

Test 3D with this:

You'll see there are different 3D options.

Maybe grab the manual from here: http://www.samsung.com/sg/consumer/it/monitor/led-monitor/LS27A950DS/XS

To help you with setting up the 3D. Unfortunately Nvidia's 3D vision is not officially supported by this monitor. AMD's thing is though when it comes to games.
