Good glasses for 162.50

Post by noos »

Hello

I want to reactivate my old (ghosting free) 7900gtx cards, because the 3d vision system had serious bottom ghosting (mainboard delay) on my p43 (fast green) CRTs monitors/projectors.

But I really enjoyed the brighness and the big screen/glasses of the 3d vision glasses. So would like to have glasses for the old nvidia system, that are better like the old shutter glasses I own (many brands). They all have the classic small and dark screens/glasses/panels. So, are there glasses with bigger screens and or brighter screens that work with the old nvidia drivers and crts? I really would need bigger screens on may glasses, because I sit very close to my screen. (crt projector on a 144" 16/9 screen at 2 meters user distance, giving me a good fov, but the lcd panels of the glasses are to small!!)

Best regards from Munich

If you are going to use an old Nvidia setup on CRT, then I think the best glasses to get are the Another Eye 2000 glasses: http://www.stereo3d.com/aeye2000.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; . They are very clear and the lens is a little larger than other glasses from the time (ELSA, etc.). These, I think, were the best shutter glasses I have ever used, even compared to modern stuff from Sony, Panasonic, etc. They may be a little hard to find these days, but there should still be some floating around. I actually have a pair new-in-box I was saving as a collector's item. If you are having trouble finding them I may be willing to part with them for a price. But search around first, you may find some for cheap. Keep in mind these are wired glasses, I don't remember how long the cord is but its probably too short for a projector setup.

Here are some images comparing AE2000 glasses to ELSA:

Great!

...and thanks for the fast reply! I will start my search immediately. Are there other glasses you can also recommend, being lower in your list but better then the rest?

Best regards

Well I haven't tried all the shutter glasses out there, so there are probably better ones out there. I hear good things about the CrystalEyes 3, but they will cost you a fortune. If you want to go cheap you can go with the X-Force Pro glasses (same as original Another Eye): http://www.ultimate3dheaven.com/x3dprowi3dgl1.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; . Its $20 for the glasses plus $30 for the emitter, but they are wireless so that helps for the projector setup. The quality is just about average, not as good as the second gen model (Another Eye 2000). You could also go with the old I-O Display glasses (same as ELSA Revelators as seen in the images posted in the above thread): http://www.amazon.com/transmitter-compa ... B0040DUMOC" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; . Relatively cheap, but the quality is probably the lowest. Still acceptable maybe, but I wouldn't necessarily recommend them. The lenses are also pretty small, so not a lot of FOV. There are also the e-dimensional glasses, I think slightly better than ELSA but still small FOV: http://www.edimensional.com/product_inf ... ucts_id=28" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; . If you really want to go digging there is a long list of active shutter glasses here: http://www.stereo3d.com/shutter.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; , but I doubt you will be able to find much of that stuff today and not all of them may be compatible with the old Nvidia driver.

Don't know if this is useful here:

If you've already got something like the EDimensional VGA dongle, which has the VESA 3-pin socket on it, you could plug in this emitter instead and then use a wide range of shutter glasses. I've no idea how good the product is, just kinda stumbled across it on the web.

.....so, I was not very successful here in Europe to get good glasses at a good rate (Xforce3d for 49$ plus 40$ sipping from the US hurts).
I did get a pair of the Nuvison 60GX(!), but I did not get any of the emitters with it :-(

So is here anyone in Europe selling his wired Xforce3d glasses (alias Another Eye 2000 glasses), or a Nuvison emitter?
Links to stores in Europe are also very welcome, but I think I really did my homework.

Best regards from Munich

Your best bet would be second hand glasses on sites like ebay, quoka.de, leboncoin.fr, etc. Much cheaper than glasses from the US with the shipping costs.

Yes, I have advised the Ebay program to inform me when an variation of xforce3d or Another Eye 2000 pops in worldwide. In these three month only one AE2000 came up, but it was in the US and lacking the dongle. Here is the auction that comes up since months: http://cgi.ebay.de/Another-Eye-2000-Ano ... 4cf55b363c" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I am an Ebay nerd, but I will check the others you have mentioned. Probably a new addiction....and hopefully a hit.

Thanks

Marc
