LG 3D TV and Nvidia 3D Vision

[trogdor796]

Nvidia 3D vision uses active 3D technology, with active shutter glasses correct? And LG 3D TV's use passive 3D with polarized glasses. So an LG 3D TV should not be able to display Nvidia 3D vision.

Therefor, I was confused by the following video. Opinions?

Just finished seen the video, lol, it's a 3D tv using a standard GPU to display the game in 3D. It's not using Nvidia's 3D Vision tech at all.

So how do you go about doing it then? I thought to get 3D with Nvidia's cards you had to use 3D Vision tech.

You can use Tridef software on Nvidia cards, which would give you the option to use polarized 3D as well as a few others technologies. I've also heard that there is some conversion software that works with 3D vision.

After more research it appears Nvidia has something called 3DTV Play, which supports LG sets, so I guess that could be it. Thank you both for the answers.

I have been using the Nvidia 3D software thing on standard monitors ever since they came out , remember playing Tomb Raider Underworld in 3D with those RB Glasses. So it works both ways, you either have the software in the GPU or have the Software Code Hard Wired into the Hardware calling it a chip and making a 3D Monitor/TV out of it.
I remember a lot of guys asking us if they needed to buy the 120Hz 3D Monitor to watch movies and play games in 3D, and, the advise was always no need, if you want to get a feel of it this is a better option, because 3D stuff doesn't suite everyone.
