Thanks Jim, I would have missed that. I enabled it and while Ctrl+F7 and Ctrl+F11 do stuff Ctrl-F5/F6 appeared not to do anything (but see on)... I also found Ctrl-T turns off 3D but you still can't get to the control menu.

One other thing I did is to run it Windowed on a 3D desktop (1920x1080 24Hz) and that looks impressive too, here being "into" the screen a little helps with the effect.

Anyway, after some online research I got the tip that you really have to hold the convergence keys down for a while to be able to spot anything (also that there is no on-screen indicator that anything is happening, unlike the depth control). So I went back for try two and that is the trick. I found Ctrl-F6 is the one to move the tank towards you, and when you go too far it all falls apart very obviously. I now have the gravel at about the screen front (although a couple of fish seem to slightly swim out of the TV, just by a cm or so, so perhaps I'm not exactly lined up yet. As a lot of the tank is much closer now the 3D offset (without glasses) is lessened and the apparent depth increased (so I also took the depth back to about 60%). I then used Ctrl-F7 to save my new settings.

BTW here's some links to the 3D Play Q&As and other info:

Also note anyone with a Nvidia 3D Vision Emitter can plug it in and 3DTV Play will be licensed to run. Otherwise the US price for a Key is $39.99 and the UK one £24.90. Unfortunately the best price I've seen for Glasses+Emitter is £69.99.
