Setting Up and Using 3D TV

This document provides information about setting up and using the 3D TV features available on your computer.

NOTE: To know if your TV supports the 3D features available on your computer, see the system requirements

at www.nvidia.com/3dtv.

Setting Up 3D TV

1Connect your computer to the 3D TV using a HDMI cable.

NOTE: The HDMI cable transmits both audio and video signals.

2Set up the HDMI 1.4 3D TV:

aBrowse to the TV’s 3D menu settings.

bSet the 3D mode to Automatic.

cSet the eye order for the glasses to default or normal.

NOTE: Do not change the eye order settings when using NVIDIA 3DTV Play as the application

controls the timing of the glasses.

NOTE: If you are unable to view the entire Windows desktop on your TV, use the 3D TV's built-in

options to reduce the display resolution.

NOTE: For more information about configuring the 3D settings, see the documentation that shipped

with your TV.

3Set your TV as the primary display:

aRight-click the desktop and select NVIDIA Control Panel.

bIn the NVIDIA Control Panel window, click Display to expand the selection (if not already expanded)

and then click Set up multiple display.

cIn the Verify the display configuration section, right-click the 3D TV and select Make this the Windows

primary display.

4Set up the NVIDIA 3DTV Play application:

aIn the NVIDIA Control Panel window, click Stereoscopic 3D to expand the selection (if not already

expanded) and then click Set up stereoscopic 3D.

bSelect the Enable stereoscopic 3D check box. The 3DTV Play setup wizard is displayed.

cEnsure that the 3DTV Play logo appears in the control panel.

5Change the desktop resolution to match the resolution of the 3D content type:

aIn the NVIDIA Control Panel window, click Display to expand the selection (if not already expanded)

and then click Change resolution.

bFor 3D gaming, set the resolution to 720p,1280x720 and refresh rate to 60/59 Hz in HD 3D mode.

For Blu-ray 3D playback, set the resolution to 1080p,1920x1080 and refresh rate to 24/23 Hz in HD 3D mode.

NOTE: For TVs using PAL system with refresh rates of 50 Hz or 100 Hz, set the resolution to 720p and

refresh rate to 60/59 Hz. For TVs using NTSC system with refresh rates of 60 Hz or 120 Hz, set the

resolution to 720p and refresh rate to 60/59 Hz.

NOTE: The performance of games may reduce when using HD 3D mode even if 3DTV Play is disabled.

To maximize performance, select HD or SD mode when 3DTV Play is disabled.

6Check the HDMI audio on the TV by playing a video, game, or music and adjusting the volume on the TV.
