to know that 3D Vision would work on his Samsung CRG49
I just looked at the rtings review on it, it doesn't have BFI so there's going to be crosstalk. And being ultrawide as well, may take longer for the panel to refresh. Getting the 3d vision to work with any monitor is pretty simple, all it takes is to override the EDID with CRU. The difficult part is to understand how to tune the glasses to make it work with the monitor. Most monitor with with normal aspect ratio of 1080p or 1440p, will already have the default 3d vision profiles to make it work. It's a just a matter of tuning the monitor and glasses that makes it difficult. It gets easier when you become more familiar with how it work.
Regarding the new Samsung monitors not being bright enough in SDR mode compared to their older gen Odyssey G7, can't HDR monitors be put into HDR mode and still display SDR content? I mean, what happens if I have an HDR monitor and suddenly start an old game from, let's say, 2012. If the monitor is in HDR mode, why wouldn't it be able to display something that doesn't have HDR?
I'm unfamiliar with how HDR works as well in windows with SDR games. The neo G7 and G8 should work with 3d vision, they both have BFI implementation. The thing is, you should become more familiar with getting 3d vision to run on a non 3d vision monitor. It's still requires tuning of the timing of the glasses in order for it to work.
so if the monitor, glasses, etc. are truly working at 144 Hz, 72 / eye, wouldn't the games sync at 72 Hz if enabling VSync during NV 3D mode?
So I've ran 3d vision sucessfully at 85hz, 100hz, 120hz, 144hz, 165hz. Now the profiles for tuning the glasses work at 100hz,120hz, 144hz. I have yet to find a profile that works at 85hz and 165hz, which is needed to get the timing of the glasses right.
I don't know how vysnc is going to affect it. 3d vision only runs at those frequencies. 60hz may be possible, but I've yet to test it.
You're talking about officially supported 144 Hz (and 165 Hz) in 2D mode, not 3D (no such thing), yes?
3d vision can run on any monitor at 85hz,100hz, 120hz, 144hz. It's a matter of the monitor being able to be good enough for 3d vision. That's why I'm interested in these newer monitors coming out. They are certainly fast enough now, but it still requires the manufacturer to make fast refresh rates and BFI implementation for 3d vision to truly shine.
Try it out for yourself, because it's the only way to get a better understanding of how 3d vision works on non certified monitors. Would be great if someone else can find a good 3d vision compatible monitor, it's only going to be a handful of them I'm sure of it. So far the odyssey G7 work quite well, only with minor overdrive shadows. The G7 is a bit tricky to get working with 3d vision due to a micro sync issue.
(if not wearing the 3d glasses). Then the screen goes black again because the game is about to start up. It's still in Lightboost mode as you can tell the black is bright. Then, the black suddenly gets less bright as the screen goes into the regular 2D non-Lightboost mode and the game appears (loading screens, etc.).
