Can it handle "full SBS" 3d files and play them back as half SBS? Or does it not support full SBS format at all??

not sure what sbs is but I use power dvd 13 to watch 3d movies as well as xbmc media and I have not had any problems with viewing full 3d movies

Yes, it supports full sbs playback via software. I use Cyberlink Power DVD 13 to play SBS 3D Movies or "Top over Bottom" 3D. It does not do it on the panel itself like a actual 3D TV does. Given that this is a computer monitor this isn't an issue. Just get Power DVD and all is good. Tridef works well with this monitor as well.

Honestly I have no idea what that even means but I don't think it plays specifically 3D formats it just converts whatever is on your screen to 3D, kindof a psuedo 3D if you will. It's really just a novelty for this monitor imo, but I love the monitor either way.

Well, you need a player that can recognize files that uses Side-by-Side method and output it in Row-Interlaced method. A player such as Stereoscopic Player would work. I think you also need to install and override your defualt monitor drivers with a modified Acer EDID file so that nvidia would recognize this monitor as "Optimized for NVidia GeForce 3D". Then you should be able to enjoy any 3D as if this is a 3D Vision 2 ready monitor.

I am not sure it can handle either full SBS or half SBS. I think it may need more Mhz.

Good Question, I haven't had the opportunity to test it out. I'm not sure if the file type will be support. I'll test it and send out an update. Bobby

Huh! Figure!I never expected it to work in such a dated player, but indeed my dozen or so JPG's burned on to a CDRW (just to answer your question) did in fact display on this unit.That's the only format I tested as it's the only one you mentioned.

I have the XDS and I can tell you that even for the supported file types it only works about 30% of the time and will almost certainly require re-encoding to work. It only supports a very limited range of settings and even people with a decent knowledge of video encoding have trouble getting videos to work.

You do not have to play 3D movies but it is capable of playing them. This player will also play standard Blu Ray as well as dvd's. It also plays dvd+ and dvd- recorded discs as well as many other discs such as picture, music and mp3 encoded discs.

I haven't tried all of the formats they claim to work but just about everything I have tried does work fine. For some reason the high def MP4s won't play on mine but the standard size MP4 plays just fine. I have settled on using the VOB format for most of my video and they look fine on my 55" screen. I haven't tried the surround sound with the videos yet. For some videos (kids movies) I rip the DVD to the standard MP4 because the videos digitize fast and the file size is small, about 1 to 2 GB, compared to the VOB file size of 3 to 5 GB. This could be one of the coolest electronic things I have purchased. I haven't tried all of the formats they claim to work but just about everything I have tried does work fine.

I bought mine Nov 2013, it has been working great. Love the color and the features, especially the ability to connect directly to my Synology for all my media. I have not tried the 3D (wearing glasses to watch the tube, not my thing) but everything I tried works great. For reviews, just search it on the web (thats what I did). Very happy with my purchase.

In theory, yes, you could, but I found two problems: only plays files in mp4 format, so you must convert any file to this;and that's the second problem, the conversion takes a loooong time, as a day per file. My advice, avoid this unit like the plague.

No like any 3D display its only 3D with 3D files playing and its good with real 3D and not as good with fake 3D.

NO. As a matter of fact, the "advanced software" is so bad it won't allow you to even play mp4 files. at all

Yeag. I've only tried with black ops 2, but it formats the video as H-OU (where one image is the top half and the other is the bottom) with is a format that the monitor auto detects at the push of the 3D button. Passive 3D is awesome for games like these since you can play 2 player, with both players playing full screen (switching the lenses of those theater glasses you stole is required for this, though).

You can rip the blu ray co.tent to an MKV file or other format. Be sure to check that your ripping software csn accommodate 3D content. A quick Google search will reveal many options. Once you have ripped the media, copy the resulting file to your tablet and play it usi.g a player that will display 3d content. I believe this tablet comes pre-loaded with decent 3D content viewing software, but surely others are available on Google Play and other Android software distribution channels. Give it a whirl and let us all know how it goes.

It only lists the following formats as playable: Multi-format playback: Capability now includes DVD-/+R, DVD-/+RW, VCD, SVCD, CD-R, CD-RW, and MP3 playback for flexible playback options.BD is not among them. I say that because, while I own one, I've never actually tried putting a blu-ray disc directly into the drive. As far as I know, it is strictly a DVD player. I use a PS3 for my blu-ray needs.I would opt for something else if you want blu-ray capabilities.

it can recongnizes blu ray as well as 3d blu ray! I have never been the situation that I can play any game or watching graphical movie from my CD systems :)

Yes, if it is somehow forcing the source to be played in 3D, simply go to the menu and select 3D, the put the type (e.g., top over bottom, side-by-side and automatic) to off. If you are wondering if it will play things that are not 3D, of course it will, it should auto-detect and play whatever the source says it is, 3D, not 3D...so on.
