Hi everyone, I just got myself a Samsung 3D Plasma TV (720p) PN43D490, and I have a GTX260 graphics card setup with two monitors connected via DVI. I'd like to extend the setup to hook up the TV as well for 3D gaming. The TV has what looks like a VGA port (they just refer to it as a "PC input"), but as far as I understand, I need to use HDMI for 3D gaming. I bought myself a 1.4 HDMI cable. The thing is, I don't want to contantly be plugging and unplugging my wires (the video card has 2 outputs and I have 2 monitors and a TV). Is there some kind of splitter with a switch I can buy? Ideally I imagine it would take one DVI connection and split it into two, and you could flip a switch to change the output from one to the other, forcing the computer to sense a change from 1200p to 720p resolution. Also, do I need the NVidia 30$ software to play any of my games in 3D and to watch 3D movies? How about stuff like downloaded 3D IMAX .mkv's?
So then how should I go about getting my signal to the TV, if it has no DVI input? The TV is listed as supporten on Nvidia's 3d software suite.
No they are incorrect, HDMI 1.4 and 1.4a support Stereo, so there's no issue there. HDMI 1.4a adds two additional mandatory 3D formats for broadcast content.
