3D Glasses + HDTV

Ahh, so last night's attempt at trying to get the 3D glasses running kind of failed.

Tried both the TV and a laptop monitor (just to a. see if we could prove NVIDIA wrong and b. see if we can get the glasses to run at half the frame rate)

The TV itself was actually only a 60Hz signal, (supposedly uses backlight flashing to double the rate to 120Hz?) despite the manual saying otherwise (NVIDIA was right on this one) and as for the laptop, well, after getting the up-to-date drivers (CD ones are outdated) and running the installation, it actually just stops midway through and says "Your laptop panel is not 3D enabled" and closes down the installation.

Doesn't even let you attempt to try it at a lower rate. Which is a bit of a let down.

Can't get the monitor this week either. Apparently I have to claim hours at JCU for payment, so it's not like Cairns which was done automatically. *laughs* Oh well, another 2 week wait I suppose.

Been looking at a lot of things surrounding the glasses and modelling. Will post information as I come across it anyway.
