3D Glasses
First, I'll apologize for the newbie post. I tried searching, but I wasn't quite sure what I was looking for, and all the FAQ sections are for troubleshooting and not prospective buyers. My question is, when people refer to 3D glasses here, are they referring to the shutter glasses, or the anisotropic glasses? I am very new to the 3D technology, and I have been using the red/blue glasses for a while and the gimmick is cool, but I don't like the whole color thing. The 3D shutter glasses look very cool, and the technology is pretty crazy, but I wanted to make sure it works for the games I want it to work for. The site says "Nvidia 3D Ready" and has a short list of games, and then has "Excellent" and so on, but I wanted to make sure, before I spend $500 on a monitor and glasses, that the excellent category still applies to the shutter glasses. I'd be extremely excited to play Mirrors Edge in full 3D.

Sorry for the newbie post, I just wanted to get my facts straight.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Dude, if you're already used to the red/blue, you'll flip out for the real deal. I freakin geeked out after I hooked up my 3d vision kit and have been lovin it ever since. But remember if you get 3d vision, adjusting a good balance of convergence/depth is very important for every game. Some games that look pretty bad by default can be made to look much better just by playing around with the 3d settings in game. Dude, I'd say go for it! /yes.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':yes:' />

+1. The games rated 3D Vision Ready are really quite the sight in 3D.

Thanks for the replies! Its good to know I am getting in to something good. Theres a Samsung package on Newegg right now that comes with a very nice monitor and the 3D vision package, but I notice a lot of people around here swear by DLP projectors, are the projectors worth looking in to, or is it just because everyone likes the increased resolution that a projector can provide?

It's not increased 'resolution', but sheer size of picture. Also, DLP has no ghosting.
