Have you considered the possibility of building a 2d (single screen) lcd or plasma monitor which will be capable of functioning with shutter glasses? Is it possible to make lcd screens with reasonable shutter performance?
it's en extract from here:BlackQ wrote: we prefer sunglasses more than shutter glasses Smile
yes, it is possible technically - you just need to have 120Hz LCD - I heard about few companies, like Samsung, for example, have prototypes, but did not see them. But I'm talking about real 120Hz, not interpolation between frames - otherwise you will see some "ghosts" for fast moving objects...
but again for us as a company this way is not very attractive.
Moreover, I think at existing stage of 3D development any form of 3d need to be active - when 3D solution will be 10-20% of market - then competition will come, but now "Let a hundred flowers bloom...." Smile

I wan't to take the oportunity to make a poll to collect information, what gamers want - and what would be the best screen.
Most certainly all of these aspects have a certain importance for different users and different purposes.
I'd like to have a 'low cost' version with a decent resolution and as low ghosting as possible:
What about making a LCD with cheackerboard pattern, but polarized instead of active?
- It should have low costs, since it's basically a LCD screen with slightly modified polarizors above it
- polarizers should have very little ghosting, if aligned correctly.
- it would have a good 2D resolution so 2D gamers would buy it, too.
- with cheackerboard at a good resolution you will notice the loss of resolution less than on with interlaced
What do you think? How much more expencive could a modded sheet of polarizers be?
Maybe make 2 versions: one with more and with less glasses/equipment to make it appealing to 2D gamers...
I hope IZ3D reads this and gives some (helpfull) input, too. I'd like to know, what is possible for what price and so on...
