Hey fellas, been gone for a bit but have a question for you guys. I have a Samsung LN52A750 LCD that I use as my monitor which is 120HZ but I can't get that refresh rate to pop up under my nvida profile settings. Anyone know what's up or if it's some small like the cable or even if I'm able to do this..?

edit: oh and I'm using the DVI to HDMI to get to my TV, one of the things I'm also trying to do is see if this will run the 3d vision stuff from Nvidia

Checking this amazon link I find this:

"Full 1080p HD Resolution with 120Hz Auto Motion Plus"

Apparently its 60hz input that gets an extra interpolated frame between every input frame to smooth out fast moving objects(footballs, basketballs, etc). If the panel can do 120hz it would be nice if they also accepted 120hz sources....


Off subject(but related):
3D gaming uses 120hz monitors that display the left eye for 1/60th of a second then the right eye for 1/60th of a second. It would be nice if nvidia worked with a monitor company to produce a display that simply accepted the left+right eye image, then alternated those two images at 120->240+ fps. For instance take the 120hz monitors now used and double the frame rate to 240 hz, then alternate the left+right eye 2x each(opposed to 1x each currently?) to *possibly* help reduce eyestrain.

Your TV can only do the input frequency listed in the resolution table in your owners manual, most likely 60 Hz.

The 120 Hz you are referring to is the monitors way of smoothing out motion, a different thing.

Real 120 Hz computer monitors have just started to appear, and more will be appearing as time goes on, most likely the same thing with TVs.

thanks for the replies guys, hmmmm I wonder what would happen if I tried it....the reason I ask is because under the Nvida site (http://www.nvidia.com/object/3D_Vision_Requirements.html) they list a bunch of Mitsubishi HDTV's (though they are DLP's and not LCD's) that they say work with 3D vision. I also have a 71' samsung DLP I can try this on. Honestly just dont want to fork over the $200 or so for the 3D vision and have it not work :wtf:
