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.
