3D monitors and glasses

[Lee]

One of the lads at work had one of these delivered last week: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MO-049-AC Along with the nVidia glasses.

If you were impressed by Avatar and Alice in Wonderland in 3D then you would be just as impressed with that monitor with the glasses. We've just been looking at some 3D car images, and watching some 3D film trailers.

It's the future for sure, they just need to make it as impressive without the glasses.

These work on the same basis as the old Elsa Revelator glasses right?

Dunno, were they active shutter ones which required power?

 

[theduck]

Yeah, they were LCD shutters iirc.

riddled with driver bugs but once you get powerDVD10 to operate they're fairly decent but I wouldn't entertain the idea personally unless you were going to play a few games also

They are great but I imagine a heavy 3D gaming session would give you a headache. I did after Avatar. If they manage it without glasses it would improve things no end. Played some 3D PS3 games and it was very immersive. Stuff like Fallout, RDR and Oblivion would be great in 3D with the impressive landscapes, maybe they will do it with Fallout - New Vegas.
