Actually, the shutter glasses work suprisingly well. I've been waiting on more details for this since I got my 3D capable DLP a few months back. The dunny thing is that I have a pair of glasses that will interface just fine with the TV from an old Geforce 2 Ultra video card that I've dug out. I'm pretty disappointed with the cost of the software though. $199 is pretty steep for software that also *requires* you to have a game specific driver that only has a limited pool of games to choose from, plus also runs an additional $5 bucks a pop per driver. I'm just wondering why we need game specific drivers when, back in 2000, my old Geforce 2 was able to do 3D with any Direct 3D input.
Wwhat: You are very, very wrong. Until you see a 3D DLP in action, you should keep your speculation to yourself. I have the 56" and the glasses/software and it is glorious.
del_usion: They have a working patch/hack for the nVidia stereo drivers (for 3D DLP's checker pattern output) that is discussed and linked at the bottom of:
The main reason they do special drivers for each game is the now extensive use of pixel and vertex shaders in new games. These will cause anomalies in the stereo display if not addressed directly on a per title basis.
Well I tried 3D shutter glasses in the past, and read some reviews, and more than one system suffered from the phenomena that the LCD's didn't go completely black (also a known issue with LCD monitors and their blacklevels), so it was an informed speculation, and it's good I brought it up else the world would not know from you guys that they fixed that issue then it seems :)
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
LCD glasses? those just don't work that well because they never go completely black.
Outdated and superseded.

Indeed that seems a bit exploitive :/
Still, nice to hear they do work.
