Samsung S23A700D - 3D Issues

geon106 · 9 Jan 2014 at 20:28

I purchased a Samsung S23A700D 3D monitor from Overclockers about a year ago. The monitor has been working superbly until recently when I went to play a game in 3D and found it incredibly blurry(not as bad as if watching 3D with no glasses, but lots of ghosting and double vision)

My setup:

Windows 8.1 Computer connected via Dual Link DVI
AMD Radeon 7950 graphics card
Display set to 1920x1080p @120Hz

This worked previously perfectly

I tried to resolve the problem by doing these steps:

- Tried other games, all had the same problems
- Loaded a 3D mkv video, same issue
- Uninstalled then reinstalled latest drivers for my AMD Radeon
- Downloaded latest drivers for my monitor
- Uninstalled Samsung Syncmaster and Tridef and reinstalled them
- The problem continued

Thinking it may be a problem with the monitor I then tried the following:

- Reset the settings on the monitor itself
- Re-paired the 3D glasses
- Tried plugging in my PS3 via HDMI but found the problem effected that too

Due to the problem happening with both DVI and HDMI with 2 different sources and resetting the monitor didn't help, I thought it must be the glasses. So I purchased a new set of glasses. But this hasn't helped neither, they paired, they do make the image 3D, but a blurry 3D.

I don't know what else to try or do. Has anyone got any suggestions?

Is it blurry around the edges of objects? Or the entire image is blurry. I have/had the same setup.

Around the edges of objects. For example, the MKV video is a nature documentary. The fish do appear 3D in terms of depth, but have an outline around them on one side with a ghost image of them so to speak

It's hard to explain but I guess the best way is as though you was looking at it with double vision

I have the SA750 and you do get some horrendous ghosting/crosstalk with the monitor in 3D. Try flipping the image L>R or R>L or change the response time to Normal.

That's if you're trying to explain you're getting this:
