I am interested in starting off by trying Nvidia 3D Vision Discover just with the red and blue coloured glasses to get an idea before spending heaps of money on the proper glasses bundle but I can't find anywhere that sells just those red/blue lens 3D glasses. I can only seem to find them bundled with GPU's etc.
Does anyone know anywhere that sells just these glasses OR do you get the same expereince just by purchasing generic red/blue 3D glasses and not the nvidia ones?

any pair of red/blue glasses will work just fine, the only difference between generic r/b and the nvidia ones is the word nvidia printed on them.
there are several places you can get a free pair online.

If you must have the Nvidia glasses, Ebay has them for $4... I've been hooked play L4D2 with them... Too bad the coloring get wacked, but it's still really cool especially when getting stomped by a zombie at close range... It's worth the 4 bux just to see that.... trust me...

Hey man, you live in Colorado Springs? I do too, over near peterson AFB just east of powers. I could probably just have you over so you can check my 3d kit out. Shoot me a pm if you are interested.

I just got the Samsung monitor and glasses this week. I just got done playing Max Payne 2 in the funhouse level. Once you get the settings right, it is absolutely unbelievable! Mind you, this game came out in 2003, but in 3D it looks gorgeous. I am amazed how this system can give much older games a fresh coat of paint! There are a few issues (with this game), but, overall, I feel like I am IN the environment completely. Imagine the most immersive game you have played in 2D X 100. That is what this technology does for gamers. I am addicted like I have never been before. I hope I have convinced anyone who reads this.

got the glasses from Fry's for like $180 I have a great monitor. But I bet you can get a decent enough CRT on Craigslist for nearly free. If not go to like a goodwill and look for one. I wish I still kept onto some of mine cause they would of been perfect for 3d glasses. dont worry about screen size or resolution cause you will kinda want to move your head closer to the screen anyway to get a better effect. One thing I have noticed is that all those other visual effects that look great in 2D make the 3D look weird and fake... and less attractive.
It really does make a huge difference and I find playing just regular simple games some of the best experiences. Like just playing Chess in 3D is totally different.. its like you actually have the chess board there. It isn't perfect but it's a good trade off of ease of installation... price... and the vast amount of games it is compatible with.

I have a question for those of you who know about DLP TV's:
If I get the mitsubishi/samsung TV will it be able to display 3D Blue Ray movies in the future? Or Does the checkerboard interlacing eliminate them from blue ray comparability? I want to invest in tech that will still be usable by the end of 2010...
Also, will playing games blown up to a 60" screen resolution be able to look as good as say the new 23" 1080p Acer/Alienware monitors? Would it even be possible to use a 60" screen for non gaming related computer activities?
tl;dr: Should I buy a 60" DLP tv now... or hold out for a 24" 1080p LCD?

all I got to say about how it looks is in 3D it looks great eou ven in lower resolutions but the higher up you go in resolution you really got to have some major GPU muscle to keep the frame rates up.
Nvidia has said once 3d blueray standard is implemented they will support it.
I think the bigger the screen the farther away you can be from the screen... so it isnt going to be a difference in quality as much as being able to say sit on a couch and play or watch a movie.
