Hey,
I used to have a ASUS VG278H, which has an inbuilt emitter. I now have a PG278Q. I actually had a PG27[color="orange"][b]9[/b][/color]Q, but something fell on it and shattered it on the very day I was setting up to display my game at PAX (that was a fun day!), so I raced out and bought the closest replacement I could get, which was the PG278Q. It looked basically the same and had both gsync and 3dvision support, so all seemed good.
Anyway, I just got some time to do some 3D gaming, and was about to fire up Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, when I realised that this monitor doesn't have an emitter (having only known the VG278H before, I kinda forgot there was any other way to do 3Dvision). So I don't actually know what's the appropriate/optimal way to get this monitor to work in 3Dvision.
When I fire up the 3dvision setup wizard, it gives me several options to choose from, including
--"usb IR emitter"
--"wired glasses"
--"pro hub"
I already own a pair of the 3Dvision 2.0 glasses (they came bundled with the VG278H), but don't own any standalone emitters. I've never heard of "wired glasses" before - is this something I can do with my existing glasses (if so how)? If it's as cheap and quick as it sounds, this would be my first preference.
If I need to buy an emitter, what's the difference between the IR one and the Pro Hub one? And can anyone recommend a good place to buy just an emitter, without the glasses?
Thanks in advance for answering these very noobish questions. :D

The "Pro" emitter is designed for a theater-like situation where multiple users can use the 3dVision glasses. It also uses "RF" opposed to IR so that the user does not have to be in line of sight to the emitter to receive signal. The "Pro" unit is very expensive (even used) and typically runs in the $1k+ USD range since these are to be used in a theater or high-tech office (professional) environment. The hope was that this tech would take off in the movie theaters over the typical passive (RealD) tech commonly used today. But it never happened due to the hardware requirements opposed to the typical RealD components required.
Another bonus to the "Pro" setup is the combination of the quadro mosaic tech with 3d-Vision.

E-bay since retailers do not carry simply the emitter without the glasses (ie: kit)
Beyond that I'm not 100% on your other questions since I do not have experience with that specific monitor. So someone else will have to answer those ques.

The wired/USB glasses somehow do all the timing/shuttering internally without an IR emitter, I don't think there's anyway to mod the wireless... at least none I've ever heard of.
The Pro Hub is an RF emitter, not a USB one, so that won't work with your glasses and on top of that you'd need a Quadro GPU...
I hate to say it but I think getting your hands on either a used IR/USB emitter or getting a 3D Vision(1 or 2) complete kit are your only options.

This is probably your cheapest option for an emitter.
