Question about 3D Stereo
Hi.

Im just wondering some stuff sins i just bought myself a 3D monitor and its going to be shiped to me hopefully at the end of the week.


1. Am i allways in need of having an 3D monitor for the best performance while playing in 3d ?
( Sins i read so much about Nvidia releasing new 3d goggles soon , and will they work with "ZM-M220W" ? )

2. Is "ZM-M220W" the best choise of monitor when it comes to a 3D monitor ? , ( [url="http://zalman.com"]http://zalman.com[/url] )

3. Are there any other way to be able to play in 3D that performes just as good ( if it is good ) as with "ZM-M220W" ( or an other recomended monitor ).
Or is there a better way to be able to play in 3D ?


Dunno if what type of graphic card i use makes a difference or not , but im useing 9800GX2.

hi,

If you've got a 17-foot long room with a good wall to project on,
then you can buy a cheap ($300 - just checked ebay) viewsonic
DLP projector (model PJ503D - 800x600 pixels) and have an
8-foot wide screen that you can play s3d computer games on as
well as watch TV and DVDs on. I think its got a 2000-hour bulb life,
($200 replacement). It's not Hi-Def but it's better than DVD-quality.
DVD's are 720x480 pixels. This is the model I have so I know it works
in s3d. You just have to flip the eye-sync somehow. There are various
ways. Pixels are bigger than 1/10th of an inch for an 8-foot screen but
don't stand so close and I think it's fine.

Downsides:
high pitched noise --- not that loud, easy to ignore. I think all DLPs will have that.
not good if people walk in front of it --- what else is new
not good with lights on or sunlight in window --- play at night
refresh rate only 60 to 85 Hz I think. --- I'm happy at 60 Hz in s3d
but 85 Hz would be better. There's no ghosting either way.
Shutterglasses make view dimmer but lights are off and projector
can be brightened so it's fine for me.
In the past, one eye had slightly different color view than the other
eye but the last time I checked the color was the same in both eyes.
Maybe 640x480 resolution mode does that while 800x600 mode does not.
Just a guess. I'll have to check that later.
Max res only 1024x768 input signal even though real output is 800x600.

(update: it's the refresh frequency that causes the color difference. 60Hz
works great, others have a color difference between left and right eye view)

If your room is smaller, you might be able to set up a mirror so that you get
a bigger image in a smaller room by bouncing the projector's light off of the
mirror and then at the wall so that it has a longer light travel path and so
you effectively have a longer room as far as the projector's light is concerned.
This projector and probably all projectors have a mirror-image feature so you
can correct the image and it won't be a mirror image on the wall.

If you have a DTV converter box, you can plug it in and have a nice projection tv.
Mine is a viewsonic-PJ503D, DLP projector.

I think that's all I have to say about that.
Highly reccommended.
