ED 3D Glasses and LCD Monitor

Featured Replies

Just thought I mention how I was getting on with ED 3d glasses, my 19inch Acer LCD monitor, FS9 and my Nvidia 6600GT 128mb card.I use default settings for the Nvidia stereo drivers except:-1. On the Nvidia stereo options, I set Separation to around 10-11%2. On the "Colour Vibrancy" tab (I think it's called something like that) I click it up a notch3. I set the brightness and contrast in the Nvidia display options to around 110%.Items 2 and 3 are saved as a profile (I name it FS2004) so I can easily switch when wanting to use 3d.I have also downloaded the ED Activator program from their site..Also, you need to ensure that both your FS9 display and your desktop are set to your LCD monitors native display. If I don't do this I get noticeable flicker when viewing in 3d.When wanting to view in 3d with FS9 running (but minimised) I do the following:--1. Click on the Nvidia desktop icon to activate the "FS2004" profile2. Run the ED program and click "Stereo on". I have already clicked "LCD mode 1" and "Interleaved" - On a side note, I've not noticed any real difference between "LCD mode 1" and "LCD mode 2" "Stereo on" and "Reverse Stereo on" however this may require further experimentation perhaps.3. Maximise FS9 and click CNTRL + T to activate 3d4. Increase gamma (CNTRL + G) as required and reduce convergence until the aircraft panel is acceptable.5. Fly.Cons.3d glasses make the screen darker. However, the adjustments above help the situation. Ghosting is there but, for me, it's acceptable. It's more noticeable sometimes when viewing close objects on the ground (where you don't spend that much time anyway!) and sometimes when viewing distant hills against a light sky. Other times it appears to be hit and miss. One time an object may ghost but another time it'll be fine. On the whole though, as I said, for me it's acceptable. However, that's not to say it everybody would be happy. It's all down to individual taste. Of course, using an LCD is not as good as a CRT monitor.Pros.Viewing in 3d gives me something that little bit extra to bring FS9 ever so slightly closer to being "as real as it gets". Using 3d, my Track IR3 and flying over the Grand Canyon I really can get a sense of flying at altitude over an vast canyon. This is something I wouldn't necessarily get with a 2d view. Using an LCD monitor may not be as good as a CRT mentor but, for me, it's compensated by having more desk area. I also found with my old 19inch CRT that I had a tendency to lean in too close to the screen and it sometimes made me feel ever so slightly queasy.

Thanks for that :). I have always been curious when my CRT fails me if I would go LCD but I have been a bit afraid how well my stereo3d glasses would work with it.But compared to your CRT which supports high refresh rates I assume... How much less is the stereo effect in the LCD?

>But compared to your CRT which supports high refresh rates I>assume... How much less is the stereo effect in the LCD?From what I remember, I don't see much difference however a side by side test may show up more.
