Cant seem to find the information anywhere so I am asking here.


I have a Samsung 67A750

What exactly would I need to do to view 3D content?

can I simple buy a 3D bluray or dvd and use the supplied glasses or do I need to buy a kit?

Do I need the Kit from Samsung?

Do I need Software or more Hardware ALONG with that kit?



If I need to use a PC, will my Specs work?

AMD Phenom2 Quad Core 920 2.8 GHZ

4GB Memory

Asus - M3A78-Em Motherboard with ATI HD 3200 780G

Short answer is you can watch anaglyph (red/blue) content with glasses supplied with anaglyph blu-rays such as Hannah Montana, Polar Express, Journey to Center of Earth. However, color and 3d quality of anaglyph is pretty poor.


If you want quality you will need to purchase a set of shutter glasses and necessary software such as Tridef media player or Stereoscopic player. The Tridef software can do real time conversion of 2d to 3d but quality will vary a lot as it is "guessing" what the 3d image should look like. Both Stereoscopic player and Tridef will play true stereoscopic content but Stereoscopic Player is a little easier to use in this department.


True stereoscopic movie content is very limited right now so you have to decide if it's worth it. Supposedly in 2010 Panasonic will have a 3D blu-ray player so it may be better to just wait. I've read they want 3D blu-ray to be ready when James Cameron's Avatar hit's blu-ray.


However if you are a gamer this by itself is a good reason to go 3D. Nvidia now has their own shutterglasses and drivers for many games, and their shutterglasses will work just fine with your dlp tv...however you do need a Nvidia graphics card.

DDD and Iz3d also have game drivers that are compatible with ATI cards but not sure about compatibility with Nvidia glasses. You might need different glasses for their drivers. Here are a couplel links to reviews of other glasses:

Gonna drag this up from the dead...


I've got this same TV and with all the "new" 3D talk like the PS3 and 3D blu-ray going on recently...


Can I simply purchase the kit and will my Sammy work with this stuff (ie, 3D Blu and PS3 games, PC 3D and perhaps bordcast 3D??), or is all this 3D talk a "newer" standard that my TV technically doesn't support since it was released before the 3D talk really took off?


Sorry for the noobish question and request for clarification.

Unfortunately the Mitsubishi adapter has benn designed NOT to work with Samsung DLP TVs - it could have but Mitsubishi decided to put special coding in it to prevent it from working.

Samsung Legacy 3D TVs are Not Compatible with Mitsubishi's New 3D Converter

(May 6, 2010) Mitsubishi's soon to be launched HD converter box permits viewing a 3D HD Blu-ray player, 3D cable or satellite signal on any of its 3D ready HDTVs. The 3DC-1000, which debuted at the January 2010 consumer electronics show, converts HD 3D content to the checkerboard format used in all Mitsubishi 3D ready HDTV rear projectors produced since 2007.


In 2007 and 2008 Samsung offered 3D ready HDTVs for PC gaming that used the same checkerboard format. Recently, Mitsubishi decided to modify the 3DC-1000 to restrict compatibility to its own TVs, via the EDID identification data sent along with the HDMI signal.


According to Mitsubishi's director of product planning David Naranjo, the 3DC-1000 converter will not accept the ID from these Samsung 3D ready HDTVs and so won't pass the 3D signal in high definition.


Note: Mitsubishi never announced its converter would be compatible with 3D capable TVs other than its own.

For 3D Blu-Ray, pick up the Panasonic player, since it outputs the checkerboard format. You'll then need a pair of shutter glasses and an emitter, or the Xpand X102 glasses, which don't need an emitter.

Just got back from an awesome E3, came home looking forward to trying out 3D on my Sammy...but it's not working.


I downloaded MotorStorm Pacific Rift 3D demo, and the "Play in 3D" option is grayed out. I have a 3D dongle plugged into the TV.


Anyone get 3D to work on this TV with PS3?


EDIT: This looks bad: http://ars.samsung.com/customer/usa/...=0&PROD_ID=153

DLP TV : Can I View 2010 3D Content On My 3D DLP TV?


New 3D devices (such as BluRay Player and Cable Boxes) have been released in 2010 that use different methods of transmitting 3D signals than the 3D DLP TVs released in 2007 and 2008 accept. Due to this, Samsung 3D DLP TVs are not compatible with newly released 3D devices.


Samsung 3D DLP TVs were designed for 3D gaming from a PC using a checkerboard format signal. 3D DLP TVs are currently only compatible with Windows PCs running TriDef 3D software. Click here to visit the TriDef website for more information.

I also have the HL67A750 and want to do some 3D, but not PC or PC gaming, only what limited movies are available with a Panasonic DMP-BDT300. Since there is only one port for the emitter on the television, is it correct to assume that multiple glasses (say 4) can work off the same emitter?

I can answer that one; yes one emitter will run as many wireless glasses as you can fit in the room. It just sends an IR signal to the glasses.

Just got my HL67A750 + Panny BDT350 + Xpand X102 combo working yesterday.


I see 3D!!!


Only issue is some ghosting - not quite sure what the cause is - much better in TV 3D mode 2 than in mode 1, but still present. It's not horrible, but it's there, and everyone can see it. I know I'm on the bleeding edge here (like I was with my HTPC and Hipix card in 2000 LOL) but wondering if anyone else has tackled this and has any thoughts on tweaks to address the ghosting with this combo.


If the ghosting were eliminated, it would be PERFECT.

SOLVED!!! Found Joel's solution in another thread - rename input to PC and it's PERFECT!!!!

OMG I'm a happy camper!

You have got to be kidding.... I don't have the player or glasses yet but I'm renaming my input as soon as I get home. I can't believe renaming the input clears up the ghosting but hey whatever works.

I couldn't believe it either... but it works. Changes the overscan mode or some such thing...

It changes the brightness, contrast, and gives it a slight blue shift. But yes, it definitely fixes the ghosting problem.

You can buy the dmp-btd350 on the internet for less than the dmp-bdt300 since the 300 is only sold as Best Buy.

Yup, I found the 350 for $350 shipped.
