"Most and all of the 3d in pc games and movies are 2d similar, which from what I see they look like you might as well watch and view it in 2d without 3dglasses."

I think he meant, well, i don't know what he meant, but i think he meant that 3D movies don't have much 3D depth to them. ...and thats certainly my experience, but they're getting better.

I think gaming on a big screen is great and i use a 46" Sony from under a meter away.

The drawbacks are input lag on some models, with it being generally higher with current models, limitation to 1280x720 (720p) due to current HDMI limitations and a lack of AA support (at least with Nivida you can't enable AA through the control panel) and low ppi.

The benefit is greater FoV. Also it being at the back edge of the desk frees up desk space. It also might be easier on the eyes since the lenses in your eyes are at rest when focued further out, thus moving it away *might* have solved some blurring problems i've had in the past using a monitor closer up, but it could also be the 3D use? This 3DTV has better blacks, motion resolution, clarity, brightness than my last monitor, the 30" 2560x1600 Dell and i prefer it for gaming as long as its in 3D. It also nice to lay back on the couch or lean back in the chair and maintain a nice physical FoV when watching Neflix or youtube videos.

Thanks for your views. I saw a few scenes of avatar anaglyph 3D and its really good even with red-cyan glasses. I think 3D is also dependent on how the movie/game makers effectively use it. Smurfs anaglyph 3D didn't even look much like 3D but avatar is strikingly different. I'll wait for a yr till full HD(1080p) 3D or 4k 3D gets released. For now I've decided to buy a 32 inch full HD TV as monitor and save the rest for next yrs big 3D purchase.

If DVI(dual link cable) can support 1920x1200 @ 120hz, I don't see any barriers to produce larger 3D monitors(more than 27 inches).
Whatever be the size of the monitor I am content with 3D gaming at 1920x1080(or 1920x1200).
What I need is a larger size monitor that supports 3D with full HD. Can I expect any releases before April?


I calculated some time ago that DVI dual link and HDMI (10Gb/s transfer rate; 7.92 Gb/s real data rate ) could allow to display 330 Mpixels per second @24bit, meaning 5.5Mpxel pictures@60Hz/24bit (3126*1758 or 2966*1854), 2.75Mpx pictures @120Hz/24bit (2097*1311 or 2211*1243).

Only display port allow bigger resolution, with it's double bandwidth (21.6Gb/s transfer rate, 17.28Gb/s real data rate): 720Mpixels/seconds @24bit --> 12Mpx @60Hz24bit --> 4381*2738; 6Mpx@120Hz24bit --> 3098*1936.

Practically only radeons HD7000 allow more than 2500*1600 over display port or HDMI. Official specs are:
http://www.amd.com/fr/products/desktop/graphics/7000/7970/Pages/radeon-7970.aspx#3
4096x2160 @60Hz and 2560x1600p60 Stereoscopic 3D for the display ports;
over HDMI: 4096x2160 (no frequency specified, but should be 30Hz or 24Hz) and 1080p60 Stereoscopic 3D.


Now that the graphic card exist we can have more hope for a very high res S3D screen to be released on the market.
