Meant to be Seen

Good afternoon,

I purchased a new monitor recently that is not "3D Vision Ready", however I am hoping to get success using the EDID override method.

The monitor I purchased is 32" Dell S3220DGF 2560x1440 HDR 165Hz FreeSync


I overrode the EDID using the INF from a Dell S2716DG (3D Vision Ready Monitor 144hz)

It shows as a 3D vision ready monitor, let's me change refresh to 120 or 144, displays like 3d vision is working, but the glasses don't sync correctly - meaning it looks the same using the glasses or not (Blurry).

(Yes made sure glasses were powered on and green light was bright on emitter)

Can anyone provide any help in hopes of getting this monitor to work in 3D?

Thank you in advance!

Surprised there isn't a thread dedicated to this, although it's the first I've heard of anyone attempting to get 3D from a 2D monitor.

...

NvTimingsEd on GitHub is what you're looking for.

Does anyone know how to use NvTimingsEd?? A guide would be VERY helpful. I Have 3D vision working on a non-3Dvision monitor, but if I could just adjust the timing of the 3D VIsion glasses. I owuld have a workable solution.

The main thing is to activate the 3d stereoscoptic tab in the nvidia control panel with a 3dvision compatible monitor. The NvTimingsEd has a list of monitor IDs that needs to be changed in CRU tool for it to be recognized to a 3dvision compatible monitor ID. Once that's is set, in NvTimingsEd under the monitor ID, the setting should be able to reflect to the timing of the glasses.

Which monitor do you have? I have experiment with a few already, All TN monitors pretty much work if they have some sort of BFI MODE. I got my samsung odyssey G7 working, which in itself didn't really need much changing in the end, it took me a long time figuring out the issues with the monitor itself. Almost all IPS monitors are no go, it can work but there's too much crosstalk and trying to adjust the timing of the glasses to reduce the crosstalk make it really to dim. There's only going to be a handful of non TN monitors that are going to work coming out in the future, they require a fast pixel refresh timing like what the odyssey G7 has in order to make it work without crosstalk.

Here's a thread where helped someone set it up, might be useful for you:
