Only thing it could be now i guess, is the TMT 5 software or the glasses themselves...

So my question is.. is anyone using TMT, or what software player?
mine is 5.0.1.114

And secondly, if its the glasses maybe moving on to another pair, anyone tried these optoma bg-zd101 and know if it works with the hlt6187s? http://www.amazon.com/Optoma-BG-ZD10...ref=pd_sim_e_1

Thanks

You can set it to checkerboard, sbs, tab, etc. by clicking on the 3D icon.

I really doubt this is your problem but if you are using checkerboard and resize the desktop using the default nvidia tool it will not work (it scales after applying the checkerboard effect).

I guess the primary giveaway is that your glasses don't sync at all. They should sync regardless of whether or not you have 3D content displaying if your TV is in DLP Link mode. ie. you will see some flashing and discoloration followed by a subsequent stabilization at half brightness. You say the glasses belong to a friend, presumably they work with his set?

Other light sources could be interfering perhaps. Bizarrely the backlight for my wife's laptop generates a DLP like sync signal which interferes with the glasses for example.

I have the same set as you. The ZD101s - IMO - suck. They are too tight on my head, they are butt ugly, the arms don't fold in, they are large, and on our set they create a visible rainbow. For half the price I recommend the Ultra Clears from Ultimate 3D heaven. As for compatible glasses, any DLP link glasses should work fine on the 6187s.

so either my set is very odd and didnt have dlp link (it does have an emitter port of course, on the back), or something else is still going on, maybe these borrowed glasses from ebay just dont work with my set period.. now thinking of trying those ultra clear ones, or maybe the true depth ones i saw on amazon (similar price)? I didnt see the true depth ones listed on that one website however...

All else fails i guess ill have to go with an emitter set.

I don't see a checkerboard option in tmt 5.2 or pdvd 11. In tmt it's greyed out for 3d settings tho checked. No checkerboard listed. Just doesn't work in these players for me

Will try the 360

How likely am i to run into problems if later i try the ultimate 3d glasses for comparison, with mixing brands?

Its a bit of a bummer that for other xbox games that arent checkerboard you would have to spend $300 for this device to make them work on the samsung legacy dlp though.
