    So basically I was flipping through the manual last week came across a 3D section. I had heard that sky were setting up a 3d channel so I thought I would give them a buzz. They had no idea about my tv so I rang up Samsung who assured me that all I needed for it to work was some 3D glasses with an IR emitter and that's where I hit problems...

    So I've found samsung's 3D brand glasses after a bit of searching which I thought would be a safe bet. "Works with all new Samsung Tv's with built in IR emittor" ... which my TV doesn't have... Really would appreciate some help as I am quite new to 3D and since the tech is also quite new it's really hard to find.

    I have found NVIDIA's 3D Vision which look really nice and seem to be what I am looking for. From what I have read however they are probably not compatible with my TV and since they have no email or contact number I have no real way of finding out.

    Thanks in advance,

    Sammy :)

    Bought same TV myself and noticed the 3D sync out on the back.

    Have been looking at different options for the glasses and best price I can find is on http://www.3dflightsim.com/product/product_03.htm. These sell the emitter and glasses -- seems to be compatible but cannot be 100% sure.

    Looking at the menu on TV, in tools "3D effect" is disabled - presume this will become available if emitter is plugged in.

    Good to hear that Samsung said it will work though.

    The NVIDIA 3D glasses are purchased for the use on PC's specifically NVIDIA graphics cards.
    The PS3 version of Avatar the Game can only be played with a "active shutter" system using the 3.50 update only.
    However there have been issues with the Samsung sets and the update.

    Thanks for info.

    But, I want to use the TV for sky 3d.

    Little concerned that 3d Effect option is not available - do I need to update the firmware for this to become available ?

    Do you know what problems could arise doing this ?

    Cheers,

    Ken
