Add (hack) 3Dtv Play to a GTX260M Laptop?

I bought the Asus 3D Laptop when it first came out and its been great - Now that I want to use it with my Vizio 65" LCD (Just got it this weekend) - I find out that nVidia hasnt added 3DTV Play to the 260m driver....

Is there any way to spoof my card so 3DTV Play will enable?

Thanks for any help ...

I don't know if that would work. Does the ASUS have an HDMI 1.4 port? That would be a limiting factor here.

A silver lining is if you can't get it to work, because it's an interlaced HDTV, you can probably get your notebook to run with the DDD drivers.

Neil -

Good point, I cant seem to find a concrete answer for that, but I did see at least one place that said it was 1.4

Im not married to the nVidia way :)

I checked it at DDD - Do they have a trial?

Nvidia locks their 3D driver out on most laptops for some reason. Even ones that could potentially work. If you have a passive monitor than you might want to check out the DDD or iZ3D drivers.
