Can someone explain 3d requirements?

Hopefully I'm posting this in the right section. If not, please move it!

I realize that most gaming monitors and 3d tvs are 120hz allowing for 60 fps/eye. However, I'm curious about 60hz monitors which aren't made for 3d.

I have an ASUS VS248H-P which has a 2ms response time and operates at a refresh rate of 60hz. I don't completely understand lcd monitors compared to crt monitors in terms of how they relate to 3d. Using this lcd monitor and combining it with shutter glasses, would I be able to get 30 frames/sec to each eye? Or does the way lcd monitors refresh prevent this from happening?

If so, has anyone used a 60hz lcd monitor for viewing 3d movies? I know it is too slow for gaming, but is a 60hz monitor okay for 3d blurays? Blurays essentially operate at 48 fps so I think it should work, but I am not sure. Any guidance or insight is appreciated.

You can't use them with a regular monitor.
The 3D shutter glasses have to sync with the monitor so that each lens alternates blocking your eyes. So you see the even frames with your left eye and the odd frames with your right eye.
The only 3D you could do is with the red/cyan glasses because they do not require a special monitor. They distort the colors and it doesn't look very good, but if you're desperate to try 3D it is a cheap.
 
You can view red/blue 3D on any colour display.
But its not that great an option.

There are 2 basic types of 3D display, frame sequential and polarised.
Frame sequential is the type you have been looking at.

Polarised works by making half the screen viewable through each eye, alternate lines each running across the screen are used per eye. Polarised glasses are worn to separate the images.
These run at 60Hz total and provide a 60Hz 1/2 resolution image to each eye.
So not as high res, but cheaper and simpler, the glasses weigh less and dont need batteries.
If watching SBS (Side By Side) 1/2 res 3D video, the resolution will be halved again, these polarised screens work better with OU (Over Under) 1/2 res 3D or full res 3D playback.
You wont tell the difference between the last 2 if the image quality is the same.
