Samsung 3-D Ready HDTV
How do Samsung 3-D Ready HDTVs work?
Samsung 3-D Ready HDTVs are enabled by Digital Light Processing
(DLP(R)) or Plasma Display Panel (PDP) engines that are capable of very
fast refresh rates (120Hz). The inherent speed of these display
technologies enables high quality stereoscopic 3-D by alternatively
displaying left and right eye images. The display is synchronised with
3-D shutter glasses to provide the observer with a vivid perception of
depth.
How do I connect my PC to a Samsung 3-D Ready HDTV?
The DVI output from the PC's graphics card must be connected to the
TV's 3-D compatible HDMI port using a DVI-to-HDMI cable (or a HDMI cable
plus a DVI to HDMI adaptor).
Alternatively, some newer graphics cards have a HDMI port instead of a
DVI port. In this case, simply use a HDMI cable to connect the PC
directly to the TV.
On all models, the 3-D compatible HDMI port is identified by the letters "DVI". (eg, "HDMI 3/DVI IN" or "HDMI 1/DVI IN")
What other equipment do I need to enjoy 3-D on my 3-D Ready HDTV?
- Windows PC with DVI output
- Compatible 3-D Shutter glasses and IR emitter with VESA compatible sync connector
How do I connect the IR emitter to the 3-D TV to support wireless 3-D shutter glasses?
The IR emitter should be connected to the "3D SYNC OUT" socket. The
emitter should be placed on top of the TV with the LEDs facing towards
the room.
How do I turn the TV into 3-D mode?
Ensure that the TV source is set to "HDMI 3/DVI" (or "HDMI 1/DVI" for 720p models).
