3D monitor any good lcd ones?

I have a BenQ XL2410T but it really undelivers in term of 3D. Going from 3D I find it introduce so much graphical issues it´s not worth it. All it let me do is see what I was missing from my CRT time

But is there considerably better monitors with 3D support nowadays? I noticed not all 120/144hz monitors support nvidia 3Dvision. Or vill it be pretty much the same story?

My dream would be a 30" plus monitor up to 50" but the later would have to be 1440p or higher I suppose with input lag below 20 ms but above 30 ms the input lag requirements tend to kill all if not the refresh rates.

But if 3D don´t work better then on the XL2410T it will not be worth it anyway.

Second attempt with similar thread. Have a similar on another forum with tons of views but no opinions.

Should I take it 3D is so bad on LCD nobody cares about it anymore or nobody have experience with both the first 120 hz lcd monitors and current as for 3D goes

You'll get a solid answer eventually, forums aren't instantaneous in their responses (though this one is pretty quick).

On topic though, 3D is a rare beast. When it first hit the market, loads of people tried it but it never caught on. As a result, you won't find many people running 3D these days.

In terms of monitors. Anything running at 120Hz or faster makes it 3D. The technology today basically splits the refresh rate in half so one eye sees 60Hz (read 60 FPS) worth of pictures, and the other sees the remaining 60Hz. The pictures sent to each eye are slightly offset to give the illusion that your left and right eyes are looking at something from different positions which give the objects on screen some depth relative to how close or far away the rendered objects are.

Monitors are really only starting to break into the 27" and up area in 1440p with 120 Hz, anything above 34"ish right now is pretty much a TV screen which will have a typically higher latency rate than a computer monitor - but the refresh rates and overall latency in TV's are starting to slowly decline too. Note: 4K due to connection version limitations can only run at 30 Hz, or 60 if you run two cables in tandem (some displays support this). 4K can't do 3D yet.

Your best bet is to find a monitor that produces a stellar 2D picture (and there's opinions about IPS vs TN panels all over these forums) and make sure that same monitor operates at 120 Hz or more. If you see a good 2D picture and the monitor has a low refresh rate, then your 3D picture experience shouldn't change much - aside from the images being in 3d vs 2D!

3D works fine, it is just that it is kind of gimmicky and expensive.

I have a 3D monitor that came with the glasses and a build in emitter. I only purchased it for the 120hz, the 3D was just a bonus. I used the 3D some for single player games and it worked great. but it is harder to aim in first person shooters because the crosshairs are 2D and just kind of an overlay. It is also harder to accurately click on things accurately in isometric games for the same reason. So I didn't use it for multipalyer games, and I don't play many single player games.

Then I upgraded to a 144hz monitor that doesn't have a built in emitter so now I never use 3D.

Thanks for the replies. The other thread has been live for a week in an active forum thus my suspicion that nobody cares anymore because 3D is so bad on LCD. Just like we have had VR headsets before but they have never became anything because they where to bad.

Crimsonyoshi do you mean when 3D first hit the market on the CRT era or the rerun when 120 hz lcd monitors came?

There was quite a few happy 3D runners on the CRT era. I would get very close to the same image quality as when not running 3D and at 150 hz or more the flicker was not that much of an issue.

As for 120hz monitors all supporting 3D you would think so but no not all do. Cutting licensing costs to nVidia?

As for TVs I currently use a Sony W6 (though it broke after 1,5 year so it´s now on service) and the difference between it and my XL2410T 120 hz is quite negligable. I also have a plasma and while the 3D is great on that about as good as CRT it´s not really fun to game at 24hz

As for panels for 3D I guess it may be even worse on VA or IPS panels then the awkward TN panels that give the worst image quality in 2D?

@sharknice what 3D monitor did you get?

It is a ViewSonic V3D245. They stopped selling them a long time ago.

Then I got an ASUS VG248QE but never tried 3D with it since I would have had to buy a standalone emitter and glasses. I'm sure it works well for 3D, but the colors on it are terrible. It is a huge downgrade from the ViewSonic in terms of color and contrast.

I have a ROG Swift now and the colors are great on it. I'm not sure if it can actually do 3D but it would probably be the best at it if it does.
