Im looking at monitors now that are on sale for 299. Should I purchase now or is it worth it to wait for this 3dvision 2? The price is right but how is the gaming I mean is it REALLY that dark?
The lightboost is cool but these new monitors are going to be way out of my price range..

I would say wait for 3d vision 2.00
The new glasses look better. The glasses I have (sep 2010) are pretty dark.

If price is critical, how about buy the monitor by it's self now and wait for the new glasses to be released and then just buy the glasses. You'll have to wait on the 3D until you get the glasses, but the long term experience will make it worth it.

from my understanding the brightness will be the same, without lightboost that is.

Ok, I'm wrong with my previous statement,(getting in before anyone says anything /happy.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':happy:' /> ) I was thinking all the new features of the 2.0 glasses were with the glasses only. The lightboost tech does require a compatible monitor.
In terms of saving and spending money on hardware, you really have to measure it against the idea your going to have the equipment for at least 3 years. If you can wait a couple of months to get the new 27" ASUS monitor with the 2.0 glasses those 3 years are going to be MUCH BETTER than if you get a 23" with version one glasses now. Always make your big hardware choices based on longevity.
I'm not aware of any 24" 2.0 monitors, but I'm sure they'll happen and that would be a good option.

v1 glasses vs. v2 glasses are about the same, except in size.
They dim light for approx same percent.
Main difference is on monitor side, if it supports Lightboost technology.
So, if you use v1 or v2 glasses on 'old' 3D monitor, performance is about the same.
Same for for using them on monitors which support Lightboost - it will be brighter on both glasses.
Yeah I get how it works but what I'm asking is will the increase
In brightness be worth the wait and extra cost? Last gen is a steal right now, will it be enough?
You won't be disappointed with a Planar SA2311W. Unlike with the Acer GD235hz its really not that dark and 3d performance is very good. You can get the Planar for Provantage for $300 and they also carry the 3d vision 2 kit. Mine arrived yesterday.

$300 is not bad though...

Just out of curiosity, which monitor are you looking at?

any speculation as to the pricing of a 24" 2.0 kit?
and dark as in not enjoyable?
It would actually be 250 after promotion and MIR
