Do I Need the 3D Vision Kit or Just the Glasses?
I have ordered a Dell XPS-17 3D Laptop and am not sure whether I need the 3D Glasses KIT or just the glasses.

Thank you!

I would call up Dell and ask them. It's hard to know what they may or may not include.

Thanks for the quick reply. Tried that and wasn't real comfortable with their answer, however the price they quoted me (about $75) seemed to indicate that I only need the glasses. I am not going to purchase them from Dell anyway, as I want to get the OEM Brand, not their "Universal" ones. I am not familiar at all with the 3D process, but I think that the laptop would have the transmitter and I would only need the glasses.

I am fairly sure the emitter is built in on that laptop so all you need is the glasses for $99

Assuming the laptops emitter is compatible with the NVidia 3D Glasses, you just need the glasses. But I personally would verify that before spending $100 on the NVidia glasses.

Again, thank you folks for the quick and helpful replies. I will have this video card, NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 555M 3GB. Would this indicate that the Nvidia 3D glasses would work (kit not required)?

Unfortunately the video card doesn't tell you, the emitter has to be compatible with the glasses.
My assumption is they use the same protocol as NVidia, but they needn't.
