Hi! I´m plannin to improve my 3d from my current 24" with an external 3D vision 1 kit for a 27" with an integrated version 2 of the glasses.
But lately I´m revising my idea, as I have not clear if the new glasses may mean an improvement and, to be frank, the 27" monitors with integrated kit are far more expenxive that the ones without it.
So my question is...Shall I keep my version 1 glasses and buy only a new monitor? Does the version 2 glasses have a quality improvement?
I guess that the lightboost is a caracteristic of the monitor, not the glasses, isn´t it?

That's right, LightBoost is only a monitor technology, the glasses make no difference.
I don't think switching from Ver 1 to Ver 2 is worth it. I have a pair of each generation and they are mostly indistinguishable to me. I have a slight preference for the fit of Ver 1, but Ver 2 work better when I'm wearing glasses.
I would also discourage the embedded emitter, because I've seen a lot of people have trouble with them, and if it breaks or doesn't work for whatever reason, you can't fix it. With the pyramid emitter you have a lot more flexibility, and they are mostly the same, except that the embedded ones have the monitor manufacturer adding a level of uncertainty.
My personal recommendation is to look at projectors instead of monitors- the improvement there is dramatically superior to any monitor. You can use your current glasses if you can find an older model that is 3D Vision Ready.

Or you can buy a 27" 3D Vision 2 monitor WITHOUT the integrated emitter. That's what I did. The ASUS VG278HE is the same monitor as the VG278H, but without the built-in emitter. The V1 glasses work fine still, and you get the benefit of the Lightboost technology, which WAS a big improvement in my opinion.
