60 Hz All other incorrect ways will leave 120Hz running in mono
mode

you want to work with It might be nVidia 3D Vision Viewer, browser
for HTML5, etc
To keep correct eye layout on HMD we capture IR signal from IR
emitter Dongle contains IR receiver, photodiod placement is shown
on the picture
Locate IR emitter somewhere around to dongle but not closer then
30 cm to it
Note: or some old devices (dongle is not equipped with IR receiver)
we don't use stereo signal from IR emitter, so there is no lock to
stereo sequence. Thus if you run 3D application and observe wrong
stereo picture just use Hot Key Ctrl+W to swap to right eye layout.
