The Asus PG278QR monitor should be operated at 2560 x 1440 @120Hz so that ULMB mode can be enabled. The NVIDIA Control Panel will need to be accessed so that you can disable GSYNC, otherwise, you won't be able to enable ULMB mode in the monitor front panel OSD. I set ULMB to 100%. It makes the stereo very uniform across the screen. Without ULMB enabled, stereo is very poor quality.

@Michael Starks: please don't confuse ULMB and Lightboost. They are different.
Lightboost: what is used at 100Hz and 120Hz. The PG278QR OSD will say that tou are in 3D mode. The setting percentage sadly only changes brightness and not strobe length. But this is still the best mode for 3D.
ULMB: what can be used (with custom timings) at other refresh rates. The monitor OSD will say that you are in ULMB mode. It has worse crosstalk and has reversed eyes by default, but you can modify strobe length. And you can also correct the eyes and improve the crosstalk area with the tool rajkosto made.

lay72 just bought a RTX 2080 and has the dilemma of buying an active adapter for roughly $100.0 or applying the money towards a new display.
He had PMd me a few days ago and I told him to post on the forums.
For anyone interested in a new display, see this thread for available monitor options that work with 3D Vision.

[quote="Pauldusler"]Asus PG278QR supports 2560x1440 @ 120hz in stereo 3D mode.
There is a curved version of this monitor (ASUS ROG Swift PG27VQ). Someone here said that it's even better than PG278QR in terms of ghosting. Seems like there isn't anything better on the market so far.[/quote]
I think that LIGHT BOOST technology of my BenQ XL2411T is more usefull for ghosting than curviosity of PG27VQ. 3D vision uses linear polarization and when I am looking on my flat monitor from sharp angle all screen (include ghosting) has less brightness. LIGHT BOOST works in impulse mode - when TN redraws frame LEDS behind the TN pixels are not working and when frame completed LEDS are working in 2 times more brightly mode

As of mid 2019 the ASUS PG278QR and the curved PG27VQ appear to be the best 3D capable monitors available.
The Asus PG278QR monitor should be operated at 2560 x 1440 @120Hz so that ULMB mode can be enabled.

It makes the stereo very uniform across the screen. Without ULMB enabled, stereo is very poor quality. Older monitors like the BenQ XL2420TX and Dell S2716DG were said to have more ghosting than the newer ASUS but possibly nobody has tested them in the right mode (ULMB?) nor tried using the Estar user tunable RF glasses.
There is also a curved version of this monitor -- ASUS ROG Swift PG27VQ
Both the PG278QR and the curved PG27VQ are said to be better than the older PG278Q
Regarding ghosting its possible that using the Estar (Bitcauldron) tunable RF glasses and emitter might give a
brighter image with lower crosstalk either plugged into a vesa port if you have a suitable Quadro card with built in vesa or one that takes the external vesa adapter -- NVIDIA 3D Stereo Bracket K0A25AA (see below).
If you have the consumer nvidia kit with the IR emitter plugged into the usb port then you can use the IR pickup with the Estar emitter and glasses. The problem is that the Estar is no longer made, with 3DTV Corp having the only remaining inventory (about 40 kits as of mid 2019). The earlier Estar glasses sold by Monster are almost useless as the batteries are dead. It should be possible to replace them but takes some work and I will not try it until I am out of the newer Estar glasses.

Hmm, I had always wondered if the Bit Cauldron emitter could be paired with Nvidia's emitter, but I've never seen it mentioned anywhere.
So are you confirming that they do work?
