As you know the official list of 3D Vision Ready hardware at http://www.nvidia.com/object/3d-vision-system-requirements.html and https://www.nvidia.com/object/3d-vision-displays.html hasn't been updated in a while. The good news is an up-to-date list exists in the driver itself, in two text files - nvtimings.ini and nvstusb.inf. The bad news is that list only includes IDs and not the actual names.
I was able to identify most of the models by these IDs and put together a list. I grouped them by the driver version/date where they were added to give an idea of how old they are. You can download it at https://www.dropbox.com/s/bev8n97jbxwpwgd/List%20of%203D%20Vision%20Ready%20hardware.xlsx?dl=0 (XLSX version) or https://www.dropbox.com/s/m0vfn24bdl6ub1a/List%20of%203D%20Vision%20Ready%20hardware.csv?dl=0 (CSV version). Click on Download in the upper right corner. You need MS Excel or OpenOffice/LibreOffice to open XLSX. If you don’t have it, use any text editor (like Notepad) to open CSV.
I was surprised to find that many new models were added in the last few years despite the lack of interest in 3D Vision from Nvidia itself.
I want to ask everyone who owns some 3D Vision Ready hardware to take a look at the list and check if their model is there. If it's not, please open your Device Manager, double click on your device in the Monitors section, open the Details tab, select Hardware Ids in the Property drop down and let me know the ID value. Please note that this list is for 3D Vision Ready hardware only and not for 3DTV Play or Optimized for NVIDIA GeForce. So if you don't see the "3D Vision Ready" icon in your NVIDIA Control Panel, please don't post your IDs.
I created this list mostly for myself, because my monitor got a few dead pixels and I started thinking about buying a replacement. I think this list should be useful for anyone who is researching what 3D Vision Ready hardware is still available.

Nice. That definitely confirms some Acer 1440p IPS monitors, as people reported them working recently. Not the ASUS PG279Q, so for future 4K 144Hz IPS monitors, now Acer has a higher chance of having 3D Vision (but we'll know thanks to the list that will appear in future drivers).

Acer is tricky, they're using both TN and IPS for some models. For example XB271HU has IPS and XB271HU A (Abmiprz) has TN. The best way to confirm that it's the right version is to check the PNP ID of the monitor.

I think part of the confusion is due to manufacturers not mentioning 3D Vision in their promotional material for monitors that support it.
The only "official" mention of 3D Vision I could find relating to the Acer XB271HUA (TN panel) was on the Spanish Acer webshop, despite the fact it has "3D Vision Ready" printed all over the box.
I'm fairly certain the "unknown Acer" Mar 2017 is the new Acer XB272 27" 1080p 240Hz 1ms TN monitor. It's about the same price as 1440p 144/165hz models so not really worth it for 3D as I doubt we'll ever get 3D Vision working at 120Hz per eye.

Probably, but unfortunately Acer didn't release a driver for it. If they did, it would be easy to download it and check the ID in the inf file.
Nice find and thanks for the hard work!
It's a shame that there have been no projectors added recently. Still waiting on native 120Hz 1080p+ 3D vision projectors.
Yeah, it looks like projector and laptop manufacturers gave up on 3D Vision. There are 2 unknown Acers added recently and one of them could be a projector. It seems unlikely though considering only monitors were added in the last few years.

I had some time to do more research and was able to identify all remaining recent models and add some other missing info for older models. See the updated list in the first post. The recent (added in the past 12 months) monitors are:
- ASUS ROG PG278QR
- Acer XB252Q
- ASUS ROG PG258Q
- Acer XB272 (NVicious was right)
- HP OMEN 27
- Alienware AW2518H
I also made an XLSX version of the list to be able to highlight different kinds of devices. It turned out some of them don't actually exist. I found it out by experimenting with EDID overrides with the IDs from the list. When I did it, all the known good models showed up correctly in Nvidia Control Panel, but some others were recognized as "Generic CRT display". Most of them were marked as "unknown" in my original list and some were known but never released or not really 3D Vision compatible. Some examples are:
- HP 2310g. Advertised but never released.
- Acer V203H. It exists but it's some low end model with no 3D support. I think that it just reused the ID from some canceled 3D capable model.
- Acer XB280HK. There were some confusion about this "first 4K 3D monitor", but it actually doesn't support 3D, see https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/795728/3d-vision/how-come-nobody-is-talking-about-this-acer-xb280hk-/ . Maybe it's because Acer planned 3D support at some point but then changed their mind.
- G-SYNC kit that was available for ASUS VG248QE a few years ago. If you watch the installation video https://youtu.be/FMKpJr0KTC8?t=602 you can see that it only has a DisplayPort. But the driver also includes an ID for a non-existing DVI port of this kit.
I marked all of those cases as either "Cancelled" or "Unsupported" and grayed them out, and all the good and identified models are in green.

Hi, have a question to you.
I have asus pg278q and MSI MAG321CQR is arrived yesterday.
How can I maybe edit firmware, not just driver override vie hdmi, that msi will be 3d vision ready?
I think it’s some HEX code in firmware that “says” to nVidia control panel – I’m 3d vision ready monitor.

Sorry for the late reply. This forum doesn't send notifications. It's possible to do it using EDID override or changing the ID in a tool called Custom Resolution Utility (CRU), but I don't recommend even trying it. The reason is the driver will use timings for whatever model you use for the override, and you end up with a lot of ghosting. EDID override is really for passive displays only, because timings don't matter with them.

Since 3D Vision is no longer included in the driver starting from version 430.xx, I decided to update the list for the last time :( On a positive note, a few new monitors were added since the last time I updated it. I think it demonstrates that at least monitor manufacturers haven’t completely lost interest in the technology. It’s just Nvidia who let us down.
Unfortunately I wasn’t able to identify the last 3D Vision Ready monitor that was added just recently since driver v.416.16. It’s an Acer with ID ACR06D0. If anybody knows what the model is, please let me know. You can check the ID of your monitor using Device Manager as I described in the original post.

I congratulate you for the hard work done by john105 and hello to everyone ... take a look at this site, I think it is the best site regarding all possible and imaginable specifications of each display ... be it monitor or TV ... it even makes you compare 2 displays at the same time, I tried to look for some 3D monitors that I was interested in, released in 2017 ... I certainly didn't try the whole list ... it was mentioned that some producers took second place , or they have completely omitted the 3D support of their panels from a commercial point of view ... for example the Acer Predator Z271U reports that 3D support is missing ... as far as I'm concerned, I decided to take an asus PG278QR .... however the site is this: https://www.displayspecifications.com/

It might be good for comparing general characteristics, but I wouldn't rely on it for checking for 3D Vision support. For example check this thread https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/1029868/no-27-inch-thin-bezel-1080p-monitor-for-3d-vision-surround-available-/ where even the Acer official site said 3D is not supported for their own 3D Vision certified monitor :)

perfect yes ... I read the thread, thank you, and I already imagined you were right, in fact, even with regard to 3D support, I twisted my nose a little, seeing the specifications listed on the display specifications site, but I have no more doubts ... the asus PG278QR is my monitor! I've never died for a bit of ghosting ... not even on my current asus VG278HE .... I'll do it again with a higher resolution of 1440p ....
