Re: [Bino-list] Question - native 3D-TV support (request)

[Daniel Fratzscher]

Hi James,

on my TV-Set (Samsung ps50c490), the 3D-modes do not appear in the 
EDID-data. Thats why I set the Option in the "Screen" section to ignore 
anything coming from the TV and defined even the standard HDTV-modes in 
modelines. My GT240 videocard supports 3DTV-Play. (It is the smallest 
geforce supporting Bluray-3D) I think that the modelines:

Modeline "1280x1470_60" 148.5 1280 1390 1430 1650 1470 1475 1480 1500 +hsync 
+vsync
Modeline "1920x2205_24" 148.32 1920 2558 2602 2750 2205 2209 2214 2250 +hsync 
+vsync

should work for every 3D-TV set. The maximum resolution given in the video 
cards specification is limited by the bandwith of the HDMI transfer. These 
resolutions should work fine every HDMI-card (and your g210 ;-) ). Please let 
me know if you got it to work or if you need more information.

Best,
Daniel
