I have had problem after problem trying to get my 3DPC connected to my 3DTV .
Firstly I was using Windows XP 32bit SP3 All Nvidia drivers and Powerdvd were installed using an old monitor which probably caused my problems.
On the Samsung TV, at a resolution of 1920x1020, the picture was terrible and cut off at the edges, read a few forums and the user manuals which helped with the overscan but nothing could help with the picture. Colours were rubbish, text was unclear etc…. when I set the resolution in nvidia system settings to 1680x1050 everything beautifully crisp.
Tried changing HDMI ports, Changing the port name, Bought new HDMI 1.4a cables (needed slightly longer ones anyway 1.5M €5.99 cables where slightly too short), different adaptors from my graphics card and many other things stated in various forums. Nothing worked.
PowerDVD didn't have the 1.4 HDMI enabled 3DTV as a display option. Automatically would set to Red/Green.
3D worked when I manually set PDVD to checkerboard (with the following problem)
I couldn't set the resolution to 1920x1080 without losing the checkerboard setting on the Samsung. The channel name was set to PC but checkerboard was only there when set to a resolution of 1680x1050 and then when the 3D playback started the picture would reduce in size to this resolution, ok the 3D in checkerboard mode worked.
I presume that when I installed the nvidia drivers it pick up the settings from my old monitor 1680x1050 and couldn't go anywhere from there. Good, you would think in this day and age things would be a little less complicated. The nvidia system settings showed my Samsung TV and the recommended resolution was correct, but something wasn't quite right.
I decided to reinstall the nvidia drivers and PowerDVD, but first before spending time doing lots of re installing I upgraded (new install) to Vista 64bit. . This I completed yesterday after days of windows updates.
The main reason for this is Totalmedia Theatre 5 doesn't support XP BD3D playback and want to give that a go before parting with my cash. Corel WinDVD pro 2010 no BD support in the trial version and Roxio Cineplayer no Trial at all. They have both lost a potential customer.
Anyway back to PDVD 3D.
WOW after the new install all the above problems regarding colour, text, losing checkerboard, missing display option in PDVD all gone, I thought what a big boy int ya.
PowerDVD automatically detects 1.4 enabled 3DTV
Confidently placing Monster House 3D in the LG BH10LS, powered up PDVD, all 3D options available on the Samsung (also at 1920x1080) started film in 3D and then……..
Error message. This mode can only be used in full screen mode. OK not so bad. Pressed "JA"
Error message. Cyberlink PowerDVD could not enable 3D playback, Try another display output setting.
I thought bloody hell, now almost completely bald, set the output setting manually to 3D checkerboard, Samsung to 3D checkerboard works OK (the 3D was better before in 1680x1050 using XP might I say).
Tried manually setting the output to 1.4 enabled 3DTV that doesn't work.
Cyberlink. This is now my problem I give PowerDVD the chance to automatically select my display option (RECOMMENDED) and then I get the above error message ???????
How can this be [shaking head, held in hands].
I have attached all requested documents
I have tried reinstalling PDVD as stated here http://forum.cyberlink.com/forum/posts/list/8449.page
