The root of this question stems from me buying a new video card. I am going to go 6950 or possibly 6870 if I cheap out, anyhow if I remember correctly they both say they support 3D.
I have a 58" samsung plasma TV (model# 58c550 it's a 600hz 0.001 ms response time) and it isn't labeled as a 3D TV. I will end up hooking up this TV to my video card as my third monitor. Then instead of streaming media via DLNA I'll just use windows media player or firefox or whatever the video is playing in, and maximize it into my TV and set the audio output as the HDMI on my card.
So now to my question...
1) Today's "3D TV's" are they not just a TV which is at least 120hz but with a video card or whatever built in that will upscale regular signals to 3D? Aren't any tv's/monitors that are over 120hz able to display 3D video? (Maybe not able to render it on its own, but display it at least)
2) If thats the case, would I be able to buy blu ray's that are in 3D and play them on my computer to my TV (set as a 3rd monitor)?
3) Also, if my PC monitor were 120hz would I be able to play black op's in 3D?
and finally
4) What exactly does it mean when a video card says its able to display 3D? I assume it just means it's powerful enough to actually render a 3D video on screen?
