Better for 3D gaming and normal PC use: LG 32LW570S or Asus VG278H?
1 / 2
LG is 32" 3D TV and Asus is 27" 3D computer display. It will be used as a computer display and I wonder if LG is good for such using? The price is almost the same so I really don't know what to choose. Of course I would like use this hardware for 3D gaming too. I notice that I am not a big games fan so I play only from time to time. This is the reason why I wonder if really need professional nVidia set (recommended display and special glasses). What do you think about it?

Well if you browse the 3D Vision forums long enough you will see that the Asus will definitely offer better gaming quality. Nothing surpasses 3D Vision when it comes to 3D gaming. 3D TVs limit your resolution, often have input lag, and as a general rule, offer sub-par quality in comparison. There are also compatibility issues - If the TV you are interested in isn't on the 3D TV Play capable list, don't even bother trying to game. That's just my opinion of course, and there are others on here who game with 3D TVs with no problems I guess.
I have a 52" Samsung Active 3D TV, and an ASUS 23" monitor designed for 3D Vision. There's no reason why my Samsung shouldn't work with 3D TV Play, but it doesn't. I only game on the 23" monitor, if that tells you anything. Playing in 3D somehow seems to enlarge the screen anyways, so in terms of size, you would be every bit as well off with the 27".

LG almost always means passive polarized, so from that alone the VG278H would be the way to go. The VG278H is probably the single-best overall 3D monitor available right now and even allows for full support of non-3D Vision solutions over HDMI (PS3, 360, DDD etc). For 3D Vision it's probably only surpassed by the VG278HE but it's still better in terms of overall 3D compatibility.

VG278H is a one trick pony, it does 3D well and not much else since like all '3D' monitors its a TN panel, if 3D gaming isn't a priority of yours I would perhaps look over it, considering its price it has appalling colour banding and backlight bleed. 3D performance though is great, no crosstalk 99% of the time and Lightboost means theres no perceivable drop in brightness in 3D.
Can't really speak for the quality of the TV you are looking at since I haven't a clue about it, but I've used a 32" TV as a monitor before and its not that great. If your sitting at a desk its simply massive, I had to go into the Nvidia control panel and adjust the overscan settings to create black borders around the screen, because I found myself moving my head around rather than my eyes, only input I've got on that.

Have to disagree with you there, the VG278H and HE are getting a lot of buzz for their LightBoost in 2D properties, basically making them the best non-3D gaming monitors out there. Droves of people trading in their 2560 panels, including the overclocked Catleap variants for the LightBoost strobing feature in 3D. Not only do you get 120-144Hz of true FPS, you also get virtually blur-free motion from LightBoost.

Can't say I share that view. For a £450 monitor its performance out of 3D isn't spectacular, and I wouldn't dream of using it in its 3D mode when playing in 2D for the lightboost blur thing, considering it degrades colours and makes the image darker. I'm blown away by its capabilities in 3D but if I were buying it based on 2D I'd probably look past it and get a decent IPS panel instead, I like the responsiveness of 120Hz but its not something I cant live without.

Not sure what you're going on about LightBoost making the image darker or degrading color, it just strobes the backlight when refreshed frames are complete rather than lighting intermediate frames, effectively reducing image blur. If anything it makes the image brighter because it kicks the backlight on to 100%, the same as if in 3D vision. Color pallette is the same as 2D, you just need to set your settings prior to kicking 3D mode.
But to each his own, IPS are great for working with stills or general office environment, but for gaming they are a relic with higher input lag, more motion blur, and lower framerate output compared to these top of the line TN panels.

Interesting... Thanks for the tip! My TV is a 2012 model, and I think I remember seeing that it's 1.4 when I bought it, but heck, I don't remember for sure. All I know is that when I deactivate the ASUS monitor from NV Control Panel, the CP detects the TV and allows me to enable 3D TV Play. Then I go into my TV settings and change the resolution to 720p (which is required to enable 3D in games, right?). But when I actually fire up a game, my TV changes back to 1080p on its own, and doesn't allow 3D to kick in.
I'm not positive, but I THINK I'm still using the 310 drivers. Maybe I'll download the latest and try it that way.

@SnickerSnack
Your TV may require you to use a specific HDMI input port. It may also require you to rename the port to PC.
3DTV Play works in 1080P but only at 24Hz. But if your model supports checkerboard, it's 1080i 60Hz.
Also you'll need to set the TV as your main display.
99% of what Chiz is saying about "relic" high-rez monitors is incorrect, and I think I recognize him from the HardOCP forum as someone who goes on and on about the TN lightboost panels being superior (apologies if I have you mixed up, but the username and nature of the reply seem very familiar).
About 2 months ago on Newegg I spotted an open box 2560x1440 Asus monitor for a hugely discounted price and bought it (turned out to be flawless, btw). I also already own an Asus 27" 120hz lightboost monitor, and have been gaming in 3D on it for some time.
The jump in color fidelity on a non-TN panel is amazing, and I stopped playing in stereo 3d for some time.. in the end 3D wins over though.. I started to miss it :) BUT.. there are current high rez monitors that have no problem with input lag. Mine's one of them, and there's an HP 2560x1600 monitor with even less input lag (you want to look for monitors that don't have a scaler). Motion blur is NOT a problem (was back in the day), and I will continue to play non-stereo games on my other monitor because the colors just blow away anything a TN-Panel can do. It's ALMOST enough to pull me away from my lightboost monitor completely.
Anyways, that's all I say in this thread so as not to completely derail the discussion.

I'm wary this thread is about to become a bicker-fest, but before it does +1 for the VG278H.
I can say that the ghosting is simply amazing relative to other monitors/tv. The LG will likely have significantly worse ghosting (check it out in 3d if possible with high depth, to test for yourself).
If this will be on your desk, 27inch is more then enough for gaming (it's bloody huge). If in your lounge, then I would say the TV is to small. Either way, monitor wins!
Forget anyone talking about non TN panels for 3D... The tech isn't their yet, despite their superior 2D performance
P.S: Nvidia 3D vision allows for 1080p gaming, with plug and play compat. 3DTVplay sounds like a complete arse to get to work in all situations, plus you will be limited to 720p without hacks.

Hmm well I have 3d Asus and Lg 32 and using a INF mod'd I can use 3d vision and with a touch of H and V sharp I can get rid of most if not all ghosting. Duh its passive yet its still awesome. And you can use TRIDEF which makes it ..with my AMD/NV.. awesome to have 2 picks if one is not working for a game.
Now me I would NEVER touch Nv 3DTVplay.. its awful.
What bothers me is why Nvidia has not done anything to fix this for Passive TV's. I use a modded INF Acer for my LG 32 and I can use 3DVISION perfect...blah blah blah..
But yeah you will get a FAR BETTER 3D experience with Acer 3d monitor or the like PC Monitor

As a VG278H owner I disagree. It is the best 3D monitor currently, but its not only good at that. Im working on it, playing 2D games on it, and its a very good PC monitor overal with very nice colours and contrast. Better then my last one for 2D, thats for sure. And Ive never experienced any issues like whatever bleed.
The main VG278H drawback is its high price

As a VG278H owner I disagree too. 3D performance is undoubtedly unrivaled, but it cant be argued that for the price paid there are better 2D monitors.

I only game on the 23" monitor, if that tells you anything. Playing in 3D somehow seems to enlarge the screen anyways, so in terms of size, you would be every bit as well off with the 27".

If your tv is HDMI 1.4 the new drivers are supposedly supporting all models excluding monitors.

If your TV is HDMI 1.3, you'll need to find a workaround.
Interesting... Thanks for the tip! My TV is a 2012 model, and I think I remember seeing that it's 1.4 when I bought it, but heck, I don't remember for sure. All I know is that when I deactivate the ASUS monitor from NV Control Panel, the CP detects the TV and allows me to enable 3D TV Play. Then I go into my TV settings and change the resolution to 720p (which is required to enable 3D in games, right?). But when I actually fire up a game, my TV changes back to 1080p on its own, and doesn't allow 3D to kick in.
I'm not positive, but I THINK I'm still using the 310 drivers. Maybe I'll download the latest and try it that way.

Your TV may require you to use a specific HDMI input port. It may also require you to rename the port to PC.
3DTV Play works in 1080P but only at 24Hz. But if your model supports checkerboard, it's 1080i 60Hz.
Also you'll need to set the TV as your main display.
About 2 months ago on Newegg I spotted an open box 2560x1440 Asus monitor for a hugely discounted price and bought it (turned out to be flawless, btw). I also already own an Asus 27" 120hz lightboost monitor, and have been gaming in 3D on it for some time.
The jump in color fidelity on a non-TN panel is amazing, and I stopped playing in stereo 3d for some time.. in the end 3D wins over though.. I started to miss it :) BUT.. there are current high rez monitors that have no problem with input lag. Mine's one of them, and there's an HP 2560x1600 monitor with even less input lag (you want to look for monitors that don't have a scaler). Motion blur is NOT a problem (was back in the day), and I will continue to play non-stereo games on my other monitor because the colors just blow away anything a TN-Panel can do. It's ALMOST enough to pull me away from my lightboost monitor completely.
Anyways, that's all I say in this thread so as not to completely derail the discussion.
I'm wary this thread is about to become a bicker-fest, but before it does +1 for the VG278H.
I can say that the ghosting is simply amazing relative to other monitors/tv. The LG will likely have significantly worse ghosting (check it out in 3d if possible with high depth, to test for yourself).
If this will be on your desk, 27inch is more then enough for gaming (it's bloody huge). If in your lounge, then I would say the TV is to small. Either way, monitor wins!
Forget anyone talking about non TN panels for 3D... The tech isn't their yet, despite their superior 2D performance
P.S: Nvidia 3D vision allows for 1080p gaming, with plug and play compat. 3DTVplay sounds like a complete arse to get to work in all situations, plus you will be limited to 720p without hacks.

Now me I would NEVER touch Nv 3DTVplay.. its awful.
What bothers me is why Nvidia has not done anything to fix this for Passive TV's. I use a modded INF Acer for my LG 32 and I can use 3DVISION perfect...blah blah blah..
But yeah you will get a FAR BETTER 3D experience with Acer 3d monitor or the like PC Monitor
As a VG278H owner I disagree. It is the best 3D monitor currently, but its not only good at that. Im working on it, playing 2D games on it, and its a very good PC monitor overal with very nice colours and contrast. Better then my last one for 2D, thats for sure. And Ive never experienced any issues like whatever bleed.
The main VG278H drawback is its high price
i5 2500K/16gb/GTX 970/Asus VG278H + Sony HMZ-T1
As a VG278H owner I disagree too. 3D performance is undoubtedly unrivaled, but it cant be argued that for the price paid there are better 2D monitors.
