e-dimensional E-D 3D Glasses for th 3d Stereo Hardware
Hello all

This is my first post because I'm on the brink of ordering my first 3-D product having just watched Beowulf at the IMAX 3-D cinema in Manchester UK and being blown away!

My first foray was going to be the e-dimensional E-D Wired 3D Glasses for the PC on the basis that they would work with my new Gateway 30" ExtremeHD™ Widescreen High-Definition LCD Flat-Panel Display, Response Time 6ms (gray to gray), Maximum Vertical Frequency: 60Hz, Maximum Horizontal Frequency: 74KHz, and after having LCD compatibility confirmed by the technical support team at e-dimensional, (I will include a link to the questions I asked them and their answers at the end of this thread).

But of course you know the question I'm going to ask having done my research and not having a real world test but going off the word of a business outlet only.

1. Will it be a waste of money to try this type of 3-D shutter glasses technology on an up to date (release date November 2007) monitor versus the older slower response time LCD monitors like my Dell 2405 LCD 12ms typical (Grey to Grey) / 16ms typical (Black to White), 30 kHz to 81 kHz (automatic) Vertical scan range 56 Hz to 76 Hz, exception 1680 x 1200 & 1920 x 1200 at 60 Hz only?

I'm looking for real world users opinions on LCD TFT monitors + e- dimensional 3-D wired or wireless glasses + the e- dimensional drivers and / or the latest NVIDIA current or beta stereo drivers for the 8800 series graphics card (8 Series (8600, 8800. 8900) EXPERIMENTAL Beta Drivers

158.22 Beta Stereo Driver (Windows XP version, EXPERIMENTAL)
158.22 Forceware (Windows XP)

97.94 Beta Stereo Driver (Windows XP version, EXPERIMENTAL)
Forceware 97.94 Beta (8800 Series Forceware, XP Version)
6, 7, and 8 Series Card Drivers

162.15 Beta Stereo Driver (Windows XP version, EXPERIMENTAL)
162.18 Beta Forceware Driver (Windows XP)
162.50 WHQL Forceware Driver (Windows XP)
162.50 Beta Stereo Driver - Released 08/13/07, 12:30PM EST (Windows XP version, EXPERIMENTAL) = - free registration-so what are you waiting for join today and receive member discounts! End of advocacy advertising :-)

2. If this shutter glasses 3-D technology isn't the way to go due to your real world user extended testing is there any other 3-D glasses or screen filter I can apply over my 30 inch monitor to gain stereoscopic 3-D gaming?

I am also aware that NVIDIA outgoings the Vista only route with their upcoming drivers but I'm not sure if they will only work on Zalman NVIDIA recommended LCD monitor, so it would be nice if somebody in the know confirmed this or not?

anyway I think that covers my initial questions so I would be grateful if somebody, preferably an end user who can compare e- dimensional shutter glasses on his CRT versus his LCD monitor setup, so we can answer this question once and for all and get more new 3-D members involved and boost 3-D gaming and the multi-media watching profile to move it to the next level i.e. registered as an affordable and do-able option on the thousands of NVIDIA and ATI graphics cards currently owned and used by the unsuspecting average enthusiastic gamer like myself, who knew - because NVIDIA doesn't advertise or promote its current and previous 3-D graphics card feature set!

Here's hoping we can get the ball rolling :-) because LCD TFT monitor's are well-established and aspired to by all and sundry as their monitor next purchase, so the 3-D component and accessory manufacturers need to do what e- dimensional have done that is bridge the gap between the expensive 3-D monitors and the affordable 3-D glasses solutions or it is going to take an awfully long time for 3-D gaming and the multimedia sector to become mainstream or affordable eventually when the 3-D monitors are just £100 pounds / $200 dollars premium over the same size 2-D equivalent monitor, don't you think so, opposed to the current treble or quadruple premium currently paid in 2007 / 2008?

This of course excluding the excellent "Meant to Be Seen" - www.MTBS3D.com registered members discount 5% off the current retail price of $999 for the upcoming 22" iZ3D monitor.

}You can more than DOUBLE this discount and save $100 off the iZ3D 22" retail price by getting at least five of your friends to join by clicking on the "Spread the Word, Save a Fortune" tab! For the iZ3D Monitor (can you tell I was a sales manager before I retired - LOL).

Any help appreciated as we’ll all benefit in the long run by having this question answered, cheers SilverSurfer :-)

Hi SilverSurfer

Yeah, 3D will blow You away :)

Unfortunate the eDim glasses really only work with CRT monitors.
Things are in a limbo as Nvidia has teamed up with Zalman, so right now if You want 3D You have to choose the Zalman monitor, the iZ3D monitor, a Mitsubitsi DLP monitor which are the only ones which will have updated drivers officially. However there might be unofficial drivers for the other solutions, not sure.

The only way to use non 3D LCD monitors is in a Planar setup (2 LCD monitors) with polarized glasses or Anaglyph with red/blue glasses.

Nvidia teaming up with Zalman changes everything. There are people who have dual projector setups similar to IMAX 3D at home but Nvidia is (officially) not going to update the 3D driver.

I would like to see Beowulf in 3D /yes.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':yes:' />

Thanks for your reply, looks like I'm saving up for a third monitor, but this time it needs to be a 3-D monitor but I will wait till there is more choice in the market. The other reason I am going to wait is that I don't see going back to the 7900 series NVIDIA graphics cards because the NVIDIA 8800 3-D stereo drivers aren't up to scratch.

You are also the second person to recommend the planer two LCD setup so I made some enquiries to see if the planer people would consider a frame to support my two LCD monitors?

Anyway you must see Beowulf at a IMAX Cinema or Dolby 3-D it will spoil you for viewing only digital 3-D in the future, it just blew me away.
