XPS 8930, 3D blu-ray movies?
I just opened my new XPS 8930 and it comes with a BDRE blu-ray optical drive (#PVM4X - BD-RE, 6X, SATA, 9.5T, BU40N, HLDS).
I was wondering if it's possible to play 3-D blu-ray movies on my PC? Cyberlink PowerDVD 19 said, "no" but not why it was a "no." Hardware limitations? Software? Even if I have the right hardware and software, I supposed I need a monitor capable of the displaying the 3-D options.
Thanks!

Thanks!
Have the glasses, and software has options that show compatibility. Have to contact graphics card manufacturer. Hoping Dell can tell me if the OEM drive is capable.
