Nvidia 3D Vision and ASUS ROG XG17AHPE - Any problem solvers out there?

[LiguFlo]

Hello!

I use 3D Vision for work and need to have a portable setup at times. Years ago, I used a 3D laptop, which worked great until it became too old to use. Nobody seems to make 3D laptops anymore, but I did find a portable monitor that sort of works.

Maybe this helps someone in a similar situation, but I still have some kinks to work out... Perhaps it is the polarization of the monitor or my EDID workaround. I have no idea.

Details:
I connect a portable ASUS XG17AHPE to my laptop via USB-C. Laptop does not have native 3D display, but external monitors work fine for 3D. At home office, my monitor is a PG278QR and that's working great via mini display port.

The program I use for viewing stereo images requires an Nvidia Quadro card. Mine is a P5000. When looking through shutter glasses at the portable XG17AHPE, sometimes the stereo is inverted (peaks are valleys) and sometimes it seems to fade in and out of stereo.

So, I took the EDID from my old 3D laptop (EUROCOM Scorpius 3D; here is their code for the screen: 17.3-inch (43.9cm) FHD 1920x1080; 3D 120Hz; Matte; eDP; LP173WF2) and loaded that for the XG17AHPE in Nvidia's control panel.

Stereo now works fine! I don't have the refresh rates that the XG17AHPE is capable of, and perhaps have lost other settings by using that imported EDID from my old laptop, but it somehow got stereo going without the inversion and fading in/out of stereo. But I wonder if things can be made better somehow?

Looking straight on, the screen is slightly darker than it should be with shutter glasses on. If I tilt my head slightly to the right (very slightly), the brightness and colours suddenly "pop" and the display is beautiful. Very nice to look at. It still works looking head on, enough for professional work with stereo images, but it can be much better as it is a bit too dark for comfort.

Anyone have any ideas if something can be done to make the image look better, as it does when I slightly tilt my head to the right? I can provide the EDID I've used, if that helps.

Also curious to know if there is the possibility of two monitors like this (ASUS XG17AHPE) being used as a "beam splitter" 3D monitor setup like the old Planar Systems or newer PluraView, with the silvered glass and passive polarized lenses.

Unfortunately, I am not a display expert by any means, so that is why I am seeking out the help from this amazing group!

Take care friends!
