S27A950D REVIEW Samsung SyncMaster SA950 3D Monitor

Edit: Crysis in 3D only goes to 720p, my mistake =(. Also it seems like the HDMI cap for this monitor is between 60hz - 89.8Hz

REVIEW of the new SyncMaster SA950 also known as the S27A950D this was shown in CES 2011 as one of the new Samsung 3D monitors. You can get more info about it here:

@steavedaver If the glasses were OFF you would see a double image clearly, but you see one image and a slight ghost (crosstalk) image so they are ON. Ideally you should just see one image through each lens. Keep in mind the TV version(T27A950D) is not as fast a S27A950D monitor, and can not do 2D at 120Hz. Hope that helps.

@pikachusDeMoN Did you put the batteries into the glasses and press the "ON" button at the top of the glasses? 2D to 3D conversion works best with full screen video, good luck

can i use nvidia 3d vision on this monitor?

[Receptical]

@EchoNatek Nope. At least the last time I tried I couldn't... the Nvidia 3D vision setup told me I didn't have a 3D monitor connect to my computer =(. Unless they recently added it to nvidia 3D compatible monitors, check nvidia's website.

Nice Review, finally found one that works.

I will Mainly use this monitor for everything except 3D on PC (cuz of my Nvidia set up and I play 2 much on PC)

HOWEVER....something I didnt quiet understand and maybe you can explain a little better. In order to get 120Hz on PC u need a DUALDVI-D connection, thats fine, on PS3/Xbox...do u also need the same DVI_D connection in order to get 120Hz? because HDMI doesn do 120Hz and we can all see that consoles support HDMI. Thanks

@codplayer515 Unfortunately HDMI 1.4 cable is not as fast as DVI-D or DP cables when it comes to Hz. So the fastest I've seen a HDMI cable do is 89.8Hz from a PS3 I've wondered myself if a PS3/Xbox could do 120Hz in 2D if they had DVI-D or DP outputs(I think the HDMI cable is holding them back) maybe the next-gen systems will have those outputs, or if they design a HDMI 2.0 cable that can push 120Hz in 2D sometime in the future.

2 persons couldn't afford the screen!

[steavedaver]

It look's like the glasses are not on, we should see a shit load of shuddering when you put the glasses on the camera. Is that why there is ghosting? Because im about to buy the TV version of this and want to make sure that that is the problem..

Thanks

@ibanez0830 HDMI 1.4a does not have the capacity to carry a 120hz signal. The best it offers is HD3D which in turn looks incredibly junky since its max FPS is 30.
