Hello,
First i whant to excuse me about my bad English :)
I'm new on the 3D scene. I'm interested to buy something for play games in 3d.
For now i used only the Nvidia stereo driver using anaglyph on my TFT, i whant to ask some questions if possible.
Wich one is the best solution? Buy a 3d screen like the IZ3D or the Zalman or buy a DLP projector using the nvidia stereo driver and the e-dimensional glasses?
When i play many games like Need For Speed Pro Street i play at like 50-60 frame rate, but when i put anaglyph mode on, the frame rate go down to 15-20, using a 3d monitor or a dlp projector it will be the same?

I have the Zalman, so if you can wait until the vista driver is available, I can do an indepth review for you and give you a honest opinion.
just bear in mind for any 3d stereo in modern games you will need a kick ass machine, as running stereo effectively halves your frame rate as you are displaying 2 seperate images.
e.g. if you get 30fps in a game now it may drop as low as 15pfs with the stereo enabled.
The other thing you need to be careful with is that, the Zalman, and i believe the iz3d is the same, they can only display stereo in their native screen resolutions of 1680 x 1050, so playing games at this resolution needs a beefy machine before you even consider enabling stereo.
What spec is your current machine, what games do you want to play, older or new games ?
If you are wanting to play new games in stereo i would recommend the following sort of setup.
nvidia 8800 series, pref the new 8800 GTS 512mb or GTX
2-4GB of Fast memory (PC 6400 or above - Pref PC 8000 / 8500)
Q6600 quad core or E8500 dual core cpu (Hard one to call)

Pick up a Sharpe XR-10X projector from Ebay for less than $600 US since it is 1024X768 and doesn't suffer color problems and handles 85hz
Get the fastest 79XX series Nvidia card you can get and use at 85hz 1024x768
Get Edimensional Shutter glasses (I prefer wired so I don't have to keep replacing batteries every day)
Get the fastest single core AMD chip you can get (3800+ probably) to avoid dual-core problems
Use the older 93.xx Nvidia driver pair of stereo and regular drivers.
Enjoy all of the games that are more than a couple years old and experiment with turning off certain advanced graphics options like lighting or reflections and post processing if you have issues.
I also recomend getting TrackIR and going to their website to see the list of games that works with trackIR and the free demos of those games. Games that tend to work with TrackIR well also tend to work with 3d very very well!
Play the demos of games like R-Factor and GTLegends for some truly drop dead awsome 3d effect where even the windshield glass will be in complete 3d!

Win XP and 5, 6 or 7 series Nvidia graphic card required. You can use the 163.71+162.50 driver. Nvidia no longer releases 3D drivers (officially) so it is just to check it out if You're wondering what games look like in 3D or if You can live without new drivers. The glasses also work with DLP projectors (min 85Hz) like the Sharp XR-10X:
