<div>I think the problem is that the monitors with built in emitter are discontinued or at least very difficult to buy. Also because of the cryptic model numbers and marketing info it is sometimes hard to know whether the monitor you order has the built in
emitter or not. Of those that were available I preferred the Asus monitor over the Acer option (poor build quality). Now though you need to buy a separate emitter. In the UK I could not buy an nVidia IR emitter that had the 3pin connector, nVidia advised me
that I had to buy the much more expensive radio system 3D vision pro (works really well - but obscenely expensive). I think that in the US a 3pin IR version is available.</div>

<div>Hi Pradeep,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I second Steve's recommendation -</div>
<div>We have several Asus VG278 with active stereo nvidia 3DVision2 on quadro4000 under Linux, and a 49" Sony 4K "TV" monitor with passive stereo driven by GTX780Ti running on Windows server 2012R2. Both types work excellent.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Personally I like the active stereo better. 120Hz results in no flicker (I can see flicker at 74Hz on a CRT, but not on the Asus LCDs, which run at 120Hz, or only 60Hz per eye - so 144Hz should make no difference) nor ghosting (3DVision version 2 is much
better than the original in this regard and their glasses area is larger than NuVision). They also have great depth perception and quadro cards allow windowed stereo. Viewing angle somewhat limited though.</div>
<div>3-pin stereo connectors are not required with the Asus monitors, since the stereo sync signal is transmitted via the DVI cable to the IR emitter, which is built into the monitor frame. GTX cards only work in full screen stereo with this system - thus quadro
better here.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The 49" 4K display provides great real estate and the passive glasses are lightweight and cheap. Good wide viewing angle. Ours connected via displayport. Can use programs like chimera in line interlaced mode for windowed stereo with GTX cards, but everything
outside the stereo window looks interlaced. Good stereo perception and zero flicker, but half vertical resolution, although this is almost imperceptible from 2 feet distance. Tested OK with chimera and Amira.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>For hassle-free OpenGL stereo under Linux get quadro card with Asus VG278(H) and 3DVision2 glasses. Monitor includes dual link DVI (DL-DVI) cable. This works with chimera, O, coot, maestro, Amira, pymol, dino3d and likely many others.</div>
<div>Forget the Zalman 24" passive polarized monitor - this has too many jaggies and too low res. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Cheers,</div>
<div> Matthias</div>

<p class="MsoNormal">I am looking to upgrade the stereo imaging on my Windows and Linux systems. Please can users share their recent experience in hardware for 3D imaging? What is the preferred hardware with regard to graphics card, monitor and 3D glasses?
I am using an old sytem: a CRT, an Nvidia quadro graphics card and NuVision glasses. Except the graphics card, these are obsolete. Some 3D solutions seem to have come and gone already e.g.
<span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-fareast-language:EN-GB">
ASUS VG278H (with build-in IR emitter for driving nvidia stereo glasses). </span>
For flat screen monitors I would like to enquire whether the 144 Hz monitors<span style="color:#1F497D"> are</span> much better than 120 Hz ones? There is a lot of information on the Nvidia website (<a href="http://www.nvidia.com/object/3d-vision-displays.html">http://www.nvidia.com/object/3d-vision-displays.html</a>)
but it will be more useful to get recent experience from the 3Dem community.<o:p></o:p></p>
