3D TV
From Stereomerger
Stereomerger can be used on many, if not most, 3D TVs today. The television set must support one of the following formats:
- Best: Checkerboard
- Very good: Horizontal or Vertical interlaced
- Good: Side by side aka Parallel compressed view
- Fairly good: Above/below aka Over/under (Not directly supported)
The best way is to connect the PC via DVI/HDMI, but VGA can also be used in many cases. Set the PC-resolution to the native resolution for the TV, and choose the preferred stereoformat in Stereomerger and then set the 3D-format on the television.

Checkeboard
Checkerboard is the best as you see in 3D while you can use the user interface as normal.
Interlaces
Interlaced is also very good for the same reasons as checkerboard, but somehow I feel the quality is a little bit lower.
Side by side
Use Parallel compressed view in Stereomerger. The programs user interface is more or less useless in this mode, but the image quality is just as good as checkerboard.
Above / Below
This mode is not directly supported, but it can easily be done using scripts. The image quality is very good, but as with side by side, the programs user interface is useless in this mode.
What about time sequential aka Page flip
Stereomerger do not support this at the moment. Even though it is technically easy to do, strangely most PCs can't do this.
My Samsung 3DTV do not display all modes
Samsung decided to hide some of the 3D features. Perhaps not to confuse the users?
Anyway, plug the hdmi cable into HDMI port 1 on the tv. Then rename HDMI1 under the tools option to DVI PC.
Set the computers screen resolution to 1920x1080p and the refresh rate to 60Hz.
You should now see all 3D modes. Also, try the TV's user manual.
