I just received the 3d glasses that come with tridefs 3d starter pack..

I made sure the hdmi input was on #3..(one note, I do have the hdmi cable that comes from the pc, via the dvi to hdmi ati adapter, going through my onkyo 606 first then to the hdmi #3, i did try a direct connection without going through the onkyo, no change) i have set the display out on my 4870 to goto the tv only (it is also connected to the pc), i disabled the pc output, set the res to 1080p @ 60hz in the settings for the ati 4870 card.

I installed the DDD software from the website (latest version)..

I set in the settings of the DDD control panel, the option for samsung and Rear project dlp L/R..

I open up one of the 3d apps.. ie: right click a jpg, open with 3d player.. it shows the 3d blurry image..

According to instructions at this point i should be able to hit 3d on the samsung remote and enable 3d, but it says "not available" on the tv screen, i noticed that under the tv setup.. 3d is greyed out there as well..

I'm not sure what i'm missing here..

Any thoughts?

Thanks

I think i found part of the problem here.. the dvi to hdmi dongle that ati provides (to enable sound) doesnt allow for 3d..

I switched to a dvi to hdmi cable and i could hit the 3d button..

**However.. i tried a picture, a video and FSX.. none looked good at all.. you could see the 3d effect without the glasses (ie: split image), but with the glasses on, and they did activate when in front of the sensor, the image didnt look 3d at all, actually a bit "blocky" behind the main object in the image..

Im not sure if there is a setting i'm missing here or what, but so far, it looks like i paid $150 for something that just doesnt work, or maybe doesnt work with the ati 4870?

Thanks
