I have a pair of samsung rechargeable 3d glasses that came with a tv I got a while back. Can I use them for nvidia 3d vision or will I need to purchase nvidia 3d kit?
 
Two probabilities:

1. Yes sure you can
All glasses are made of Polarized glass

2. Depends on your Samsung Model

samsung750and 950 series 3d displays are compatible with amd hd3d they work with Samsung3D Glasses (SSG-2200AR/ZA)h

the 750 and 950 series are not compatible withnvidia3dvision. (GPUs or glasses)http://www.nvidia.com/object/3d-vision-displays.html
 


Not sure what model they are... The tv is samsung un55d8000yf. The 3d glasses came with the tv.
 



What's your tv model then
 


1) 3D Vision uses active stereoscopic technology. It does not use polarized glasses. They use liquid crystal glasses instead. If he has to charge his glasses, they are liquid crystal glasses. They are not polarized.

@mazooni:
Are you planning on using the your HDTV that has the glasses, or are you planning on using them on a monitor you have? If you plan to use it with your HDTV, you'll need to look into Nvidia 3DTV play. I've never used it, so you'll have to figure out what is all needed to make it work. From what I've read, it is hit and miss on whether it'll work. If you plan to use it on your monitor, you'll still need an emitter, which may require you to get the 3d vision 2 kit regardless.
 


It will be required to get the 3D Vision 2 kit (do not get the 1st version, get the 2nd). Even if the TV's glasses work, that monitor does not have an emitter built in. The kit comes with an emitter and glasses.
 
the n3d glasses will work at 100HZ on the samsung screen. Most screens that work at 100hz+ can work with n3d. The trouble is with the TV's they have so many chips built it to fudge the signal frame double 100hz to 200hz or in panasonics case hex 100hz to 600hz and chips trying to filter the signal that these need to be truned off to allow N3d a chnace to shine on the TV's compared to the dedicted PC screens.
 


Whether or not the glasses will work doesn't really help much, as his monitor does not have an emitter. To get an emitter for it, he has to purchase the Nvidia 3D Vision 2 kit. The kit will come with glasses and an emitter. If they do work, then he could let his friends watch as he plays, which might be cool.
 


I'm not aware of any Nvidia 3D Vision 2 kits with the emitter sold separately, but you can look around to see. I may be wrong.
 


3D Vision is proprietary, and they advertise it as requiring their brand of emitter. That isn't to say there aren't work-a-rounds, but I think it would be simpler to stick with their kit.
 


I guess I will just purchase their kits. Not work the risk of purchasing another emitter and not being able to find a work around. There go my hopes for saving money :pfff:.
