After receiving my brandnew TOSHIBA, I was keen on using 3D without glasses but soon run into major problems as it was not working as expected. Now, after having spoken with TOSHIBA help line and after complete reinstallation of the system I want to post how it worked for me:
- The TOSHIBA comes with a leaflet telling that one should download a NVIDIA 3D Vision driver from nvdia page. Do not do it. It was not possible for me to get the proper NVIDIA driver from TOSHIBA installed afterwards.
- The upgrade for the TOSHIBA BluRay Player 1.01.299 is only a patch. It was installed over the original delivered version. Unfortunately, the new one seems not working so I deinstalled it. But it is not possible to get the original version as download. TOSHIBA help line told me to recover the entire PC (F8 during start up, then there can be installed a disk mirror of the original installation).
- Reason why BluRay Player 1.01.299 was not working seems a bug in the Player. I had a BluRay Disc that was working with the old version, but not for the new one. But if the BluRay disc is loaded and 3D mode is diabled, then the disc works. Evene 3D works if it is switched on in the main menu of the disc. But if you try to enter the main menu in 3D mode, nothing happens.
- There is now after NVIDIA upgrade also installed a NVDIA 3D Vision Photo Viewer to show 3D pictures in JPS and MPO format. That works very well.
Apart from the problems in the beginning, now I am very satisfied with the new Notebook.
Hope I can help somebody ...
