Thats because it is. Those are older shutter glasses that used to work with the Nvidia drivers before they decided to go proprietary and disable all industry standard hardware in favor of their own solution. Many of us were using glasses just like that for years using CRT monitors and it did look pretty good (arguably better than some of the 3D LCD solutions available today). However, sometime in 2007 Nvidia choose to drop support for those glasses (and a whole bunch of other hardware like HMDs, dual projectors, planar setups, etc.). So in order to use a pair of cheap glasses like that you would need to be running an old set of Nvidia drivers (like 91.31) and a compatible Nvidia card for the time (no more modern than the geforce 7900). On top of that you will need to be running Windows XP and use a CRT monitor. Those shutter glasses will NOT work on LCD displays. For all that you might as well get a Commodore64 because you will be playing games from the stone-age.

okay, that explains why the seller never got back to me then :)
that's a shame though. guess i'll have to make do with the re-cyan analgyph mode for now then :)

saw these on ebay for only 8 quid....
anyone know more about them?
how do they work with a standard crt monitor, and don't require 120Hz?
do they work with the latest nvidia drivers, or only the old ones specified?
why would they NOT work on an lcd monitor?
tried contacting the seller to no avail, so just wondered if anyone here knew anything about them.
