FYI - Unfortunately my TV using RF and my PJ IR for the 3D glasses so I purchased some "universal" glasses of e-bay that would do both, and why the work... they are ordinary. Hard to get them to initially sync and I get ghosting where the originals glasses look great. You get what you pay for I guess.

Greetings:
If you have multiple displays with IR/RF, you will need Xpand x104 glasses, then a dongle with USB port will attach this to the X104. I just got 8 of these dongles in, now I can use the RF in them to connect to my Sony XBR75X850C, hopefully it will connect to the Samsung JU65 7100 2015 tvs.
The Xpand web site is down now, I got e-mail from VP of marketing, the site will be up by Monday, then this will allow me to update to the 2015 displays.
I will keep you posted.
I have the e-mail address if you are interested in buying the $40.00 dongles to mate with the X104 "Youniversal".
The X104 is also very sturdy, not easily breakable, it is also rechargeable.
In the past, i or we have broken many 3D glasses stems , now we settle for a very reliable well built make.

Thanks George, I'll have a read when their site is back up next week.

Specifically, Windows needs to show this checkbox, which means it recognizes it as 3D:
And as outlined in the requirements above, this only works on Windows 8.1 or Windows 10, and with a full HDMI 1.4 chain, ie. GPU, Receiver (if any), and TV.
On NVIDIA GPUs, you might need to install the 3D vision components. I'm not sure if we ever came to a clear conclusion if they are required to be installed, but I just always install them anyway since they come with the driver, so.. (you don't need to setup 3D vision in the nvidia control panel though)

I don't have the option shown above, so there must be some other NVidia component I need. I have the GTX750Ti on Win10 x64 (latest NVidia drivers).
I'll check the NVidia site for the 3D Vision components. Would these normally download with the driver update - or does one always need to manually download it?
I can get 3D to play from a ripped BD (movie only) to mkv, but it shows as a SBS and then I have to use my TV's (Samsung PDP64F8500) remote to switch 3D on and select SBS, and again turn off SBS when it the movie is over. BTW my TV "3D options" only lists "OFF, SBS, O/U, and 2Dto3D". There is no "framepacked" selection. Also, when I play a physical 3D movie from my BD player, the TV does recognize it and switches to the 3D mode correctly, so I suppose I still have something wrong with my HTPC settings.
UPDATE: I checked NVidia site and "3D Vision" drivers are not available for Win10, also the "3DTV Play" software Jmone mentioned has to be bought (so that's out). I'll keep looking/testing.

Your TV is not detected as 3D capable so that's why you don't see the option. That TV definitely supports frame packed 3D. Have you connected the TV through a receiver that also supports HDMI 1.4A 3D frame packing? If its an older receiver it wont support frame packing, or it may hide the fact your TV can do 3D. HDMI should handshake and share the 3D capability information from your TV to the AVR through to your video card, but sometimes they don't report correctly. You could maybe force a new EDID with a new monitor driver or find a setting to do with HDMI in the TV or AVR that will allow 2way communication.
Assuming you have an AVR in the chain...... if so you could also try connecting the tv directly to the video card to confirm if your TV is detected properly. If its not that, its probably just bad EDID info from the TV.
That's about all I can come up with as a suggestion.
CountryBumkin:
Thanks for your suggestions. The AVR is a 2016 Denon AVR-X4200W (which is 2.0 HDMI and 2.2 HDCP). Just bought and hooked it up this weekend.
I'll try a direct connection and see if that helps.
UPDATE: I downloaded and installed the latest NVidia drivers. During the install it said I did not have 3D Vision installed. This time I made sure it was installed. Now I have 3D working! Sort of.
I still need to test it but at least I'm a step closer.
All the mkv BD 3D movie rips start as Side-by-Side so I have to grab the TV remote and manually switch to SBS. I'm going to try to rip a 3d BD to "folder" and see if that plays as a framepacked. I'll report back on whether or not this works.
