Hi all,
I'm looking into the 3D Vision kit for my birthday vs. a 3DTV. I have never seen the Nvidia kit in action, but I have seen a 3DTV and WOW it's awesome!
But what I want to know is:
1) Can any glasses be used with this kit, such as [url="http://www.optomausa.com/store_productdetail.asp?product_subcategory=29&productcategory=3D%20Accessories"]THESE[/url]
2) What monitor would you guys suggest? I was looking into the [url="http://accessories.dell.com/sna/products/Displays/productdetail.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=dhs&cs=19&sku=320-8846"]Alienware[/url] monitor, as well as the [url="http://www.amazon.com/Acer-GD235HZbid-Widescreen-23-6-Display/dp/B0035KC3R0/ref=pd_bxgy_e_text_b"]Acer[/url] monitor
3)The main reason I am getting this is movies (Blu-rays) but I will game some with it (I don't think my system is strong enough anymore), so which monitor would be better for movies/how do movies look with this. I use PowerDVD 10

I have the old school red/blue type which is the format most 3D movies use.
They sell for $2 postage paid on eBay.

I understand, and thanks for the reply, but I was asking about whether the glasses could be used with the IR emitter in the kit, so I can watch 3D blu-rays, which are NOT red/blue

The Asus monitor is supposed to be really good and has the height adjustable stand and stuff like that. Plus for 500 bucks you can get the monitor and 3d kit.
However, if you're mainly going to use it for movies, I would highly suggest a 3dtv instead. Yes it is more expensive, but you can still use the 3d vision stuff for games through the nvidia 3dtv play thingy. Well if you have a newer graphics card with hdmi 1.4 out, such as the 400 and 500 series.
It's more expensive yes, but on the whole I believe the 3d TVs are supposed to be better. Larger screens are by nature better for 3d, iirc you get better pop-out and also by sitting farther away it helps eliminate ghosting. The 3d tvs also have less backlight bleed, and for whatever reason (sitting further away, nature of tech, etc) have virtually no ghosting.

Thanks for the reply...I'm taking my dad to look at a 60" Mitsubishi 3D DLP that would cost me 1000 with glasses on amazon to see what he thinks.

IMO there is little difference between the monitors, except convenience features like height adjustable stands.
If you want to play bluray and not game, buy a 3d TV.

You have to use the 3d vision glasses with the kit.

Yeah, but as a B-Day gift from the parents, ~$600 total is a hell of a lot better than ~$1200-1400 when all is said and done
