4K 120Hz monitor is coming to the market and it's not cheap.
The UP3017Q: 30-inch 4K 120Hz 0.1ms OLED Monitor for $4999 from Dell was shown at CES 2016 but for some reason it has been delayed. Speculation is that they are redesigning it to add DP 1.4 as an input option. https://www.monitornerds.com/dell-up3017q-review-120hz-oled-4k-monitor/ Hopefully we'll see these at a better price with stereoscopic support in a few years, along with GPUs that can easily handle it. Also of interest is...Quantum Dot technology is making it's way to monitors. "A quantum dot is a tiny particle, that ranges from 2 to 10 nanometers. They will directly convert the photons from blue LED lights to highly saturated narrow band primary colors for LCD screens. This means that quantum dot monitors are able to reach higher maximum luminance (brightness) and much better image quality and saturation." Samsung is leading the way with the Samsung C24FG70, which features a VA panel, AMD FreeSync support and 144Hz refresh rate. A 27 inch version will also be released. "The quantum dot technology that the Samsung CFG70 gaming monitor features (24-inch and 27-inch) offers very accurate colors with 125 percent sRGB color spectrum and an amazing 3000:1 contrast ratio." http://www.144hzmonitors.com/monitors/samsung-cfg70-curved-quantum-dot-gaming-monitor-series/ Samsung is also releasing a 34 inch 3440x1440 100Hz Ultrawide monitor with Quantom Dot technolgy, the C34F791. http://www.144hzmonitors.com/monitors/samsung-c34f791-34-inch-va-100hz-ultrawide-quandom-dot-gaming-monitor/ It makes me wonder if this Quantom Dot technology will work well with stereoscopic gameplay or will it add ghosting due to an affect like pixel persistence.

Glasses free 3D is not something new. It was on the market years ago but didn't catch. Is there something new in the technology?

A couple of years ago a guy came to the forums trying to gauge interest for a Kickstarter for an autostereo display. Here's the thread, the guy from Dimension Technologies Inc. posts. The price was silly and never went anywhere. https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/792611/ https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/dti3d/dti-glasses-free-mission-critical-3d-2d-display

These would help supplement the technology, but I don't think anything has changed in the way that they direct the light waves to the users eyes.

I don't think eye tracking or the panel were the problems. The problem was the kind of 3d you see, not comparable to a passive or active display. From what i read it is the same. Reviews for the latest models say 3D is not comparable to the other options

I've never seen glasses free 3D display for consumers. For a good quality (like a 3D vision 3D), the display must have at least a 4K resolution and a good eye tracking.

[quote="D-Man11"]http://www.stereo3d.com/3dhome.htm http://users.eecs.northwestern.edu/~ollie/various.html[/quote] Glasses free 3D displays exist as a proof of concept since many years (I've seen one myself a few years ago), some companies also use expensive professional glasses free 3D TV/monitors. But not the regular consumer. The first product for a large audience was the Nintendo 3DS and its ultra tiny and low res screen... Availability of affordable 4K monitors with high refresh rate will allow glasses-free 3D in 1080p for everyone (or at least 3D enthusiasts like us). And according to those who have seen it, it is as good as 3D vision in terms of depth (and globally better- more comfortable and more clarity). I'm pretty sure 3D gaming will have a new golden age with this tech during the coming years. Maybe 3D vision 3? ;)

I am quite sure they were released for consumers but were a dissapointment. Tridef autostereo was also offered free of charge. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MdLXeXfoiJk https://www.engadget.com/2011/07/14/lgs-20-inch-dx2000-3d-monitor-dont-need-no-glasses-to-be-enjoy/ http://www.trustedreviews.com/news/lg-launches-25in-glasses-free-3d-monitor

4k gaming is still out of budget for many people. Especially just to have a good setup on high FPS Full HD it cost quite a bit. I am more into performance and smoothness of the computer than anything else. So 4k is not for me just yet. But gaming monitor is quite cheap [url]https://bestrevx.com/best-gaming-monitor-under-150-dollars/[/url] and can be a few hundred dollars. In 2017 4k seems to slow down quite a bit. People are after quality.
