The monitor we tried was 1500$ for a 22 inch wide screen. Although it has the best 3d of the bunch, the 2d was basically not usable because of the filters that provided the 3d effect. They were working on resolving this problem. It’s too bad the research got canceled. Wels garner also had a prototype although I don’t know the cost. The 2d was perfect but the 3d was much harder to “get”. On one of the first prototype it felt like those 3d pictures you try to see in those books (or like the big guy in mallrat). I imagine we are going to see 3d screen becoming mainstream in a few years, the economy being in the state it is might delay that adoption.

I also have to add that the “glasses hurt” indeed…

Never seen 3d screenies monitors in real life. Thanks for the pointers… didn’t know there were so many out already. I wonder what those cost today…

I’ve seen a few games (well, mostly experiments) that let you use thoose Red/Blue 3D Glasses, but they do not work for me. I think it is due to my red/green cool deficency, but thoose red/blue glasses do absolutly nothing but discolor my vision. Thoose darkened ones (The polarizing glasses I guess…) work great though! If you’re ever at Seaworld in California you definitly need to check it out!

Hi Juuso,

I found “Wazabee 3D Gaming Solution”, seems available (shop).
Anyone tried that?

There is a stereoscopic 3D screen that you don’t need glasses at all.
Its from sharp. I think the model is sharp3D LL151
The problem with this screen is that you need to position your head in a certain place, and not move it from that position.
Regarding polarizing glasses, it really doesn’t matter what distance put them from your eyes, as far as I can tell.

It’s good stuff I reckon. The glasses could be a lot less bulky though, didn’t find the overlay with glasses that bad but the darn things pinched my head quite badly. Nvidia gfx card users can try red/green 3d forceware.

@Katherine: Yeah I wear glasses so it did feel weird but I got stuff positioned up OK in the end.

The only problem with “3D” effects is that they require you to wear glasses, which is really annoying for people that already wear glasses, as inevitably one pair of glasses isn’t going to be sitting right so the 3D effects look a little off, or the whole picture looks a little off. And I’m sure THAT isn’t good for one’s eyes. And I always feel a little dizzy while adjusting.

I went to the IMAX theater in Canada to watch many movies and I found them very interesting. My impression is that I felt in the movie instead of looking at the movie. We always need those glasses, but it is ok.
