I decided to post another video using my Vizio 42" (I said 47" in the video but I meant 42") LCD 3DTV that uses "Theater 3D" technology. I wanted to be clear that on this TV the only way to view 3D content is to have a 3D video/source of some kind (either Bluray 3D, 3D content backed Up on your computer, or even 3D content on Youtube). The SBS (Side By Side) videos can play on anything including your computer or external media player but they must be sent to the 3DTV via a HDMI hook up - only then will the TV display it in 3D (after turning on 3D of course).

    i was sitting up close on this model of tv and at first i could see both images, plain as day with the glasses on but as i got further away i started enjoying the movie because it corrected itself, thought for a second it would not work, but now that i know that i can make my own left lens and right lens glasses pairs and play split screen games as TB - Top and bottom mode with specific glasses. :D hurray!

    Anyone looking for 3d content is just to go to icefilms.info and then just search 3d or h-sbs

    and just a question for you, is this a good monitor for say pc? I know is more for tv but is the quality good say for like the 32 inch model of the same tv, is it good for gaming and that kind of thing? and is the text clear?

    Nvidia 3d vision is for the monitors certified for 3d vision, its a different type of technology used more for 3d pc gaming instead, The 3d vision doesn't work for just standard tv's as you said, they have to be 3d vision certified

    I meant NVIDEA 3D Vision Video Player...
  13. LeonMD1, at 12/07/2012 15:51, says:
    It looks like your problem is that your computer (while being able to play a bluray 2d/3d movie using your opitical drive) is playing the movie in 2D and so the TV is trying to make a 2D signal into 3D thus the blurring effect - like in my video at 11:10. It comes down to the software. You need the *correct software* to play the bluray movie in 3D - something like NVIDEA 3D Vidion Video Player. Good luck.

    Thank you for this video! I just bought vizio 3d tv and am using my computer which has a blu-ray optical drive to watch 3d. But I am unable to get the 3d to work. All I am able to get is the kind of picture you had at 11:10 -that which you call odd, is what I am calling GRAWRRR! But now I know what SBS is :D Could anyone help? Thanks!

    I have an lg 3d tv, non smart. But when setup the 3d the only option I have is 2d>3d conversion only, can't choose anything else like side by side or the other options. Why is this?

  24. ednash82, at 10/23/2012 08:22, says:
    Yes you can. I've done this. It does not work on all vizio 3d tvs. Only if the tv firmware update supports it.
