3D Vision 2 on 60hz monitor?
The Acer XB280HK, which has G-Sync, is advertised as 3D Vision 2 ready, but then specs show it's a 60hz monitor. Reading elsewhere, you need 120hz for 3d, so how is Acer able to say 3d ready? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824009658

Yah, it is a 60Hz monitor. Which is great, because that means it's not a 30Hz monitor. Most of the first gen 4K monitors where only 30Hz and suck for gaming due to mouse lag at that resolution and refresh rate. You have to keep in mind that this is "60Hz" at 3840 x 2160. <---------------------------<<<<<<<

That's interesting, it does say 60 hz and says that it's 3d vision compatible. So 30 hz per eye? Ugh, that's going to give you a major headache.

umm no.. Max resolution would be for 2D gaming. 3840x2160@60= a pixel clock of 533.28 2560x1440@120= 497.76

Bizarrely, the manual for this monitor says it only supports the single maximum resolution. No idea if that's true in real life. Seems like it would be a real deal-breaker if you can't ever run at say 1080p@120Hz.

From experience, I did once used to play at 60Hs on an old dlp projector. This was when all projector refresh rates were 60Hz max. I remember playing HalfLife 2 with it. Yes it's flickery, but you will only notice it in bright areas. It didn't give me any headaches, and was pretty easy to get used to. I enjoyed the experience. I wouldn't recommend it as a 3D solution nowadays though.
