3D Monitors

I have nearly bought the Asus VG278H so many times over the last few weeks but the reviews are so mixed I'm a little scared to commit.
Does anyone know of any 3d monitors 27"+ that are due out soon and are worth waiting for?

Buy the Asus and it is on special at the moment. I love it and it has totally changed my games and films.

If you don't like it you can send it back

win win

Oh and buy Trine 2 to go with it.....jaw dropping quality in 3D

Its more the 2D performance that worries me. I have a iiyama Prolite E2607WS at the moment and I don't think the Asus will give me any benefits in 2D.

After finding how to change the settings the 2D looks lush now. Out the box it was just too bright but change to one of the pre sets and it is now spot on.

Hope your right, its arriving tomorrow

What settings do you have it on for 2D? I'm struggling to find an option I like.

I have mine now on game mode. I am very happy with the colour depth and games look great. In fact I just leave it on that now as it looks good with everything IMO.
For more details about others settings then read this thread.

Well rojw13, how is it?

I have been umming and areing about this monitor for months!

rojw13 · 20 Feb 2012 at 22:20

I am loving it. Took ages messing about with settings but worth it in the end. I don't regret buying it that's for sure.

That goes without saying

I've got one of the samsung 3d monitor & glasses kits (Uses samsungs own glasses, not nvidia's) & its great.

It's the most fun I've ever had from a monitor purchase

Gregster · 29 Feb 2012 at 16:15

PCM2 knows his monitors (going from previous posts) but from the general consumers point of view "What we don't know, does not hurt us"

I have had Different monitors from CRT's to 3D but IMO this Asus is top quality and I have it sitting along side an Iiyama and the 2D picture looks far more detailed with depth and clarity than the said Iiyama.

What makes me smile is the 3Dness of this monitor and games just take on a whole new perspective. Films I would normally watch on my £1100 Sony look better on my monitor.

hi i have been thinking about getting the asus VG278H but i dont have an nvidia card will the 3d work with amd gpus? i currently have this monitor http://www.samsung.com/uk/support/model/LS26TDDSUV/EN-techspecs theres nothing wrong with it but i would like to experience 3d not sure if the asus will give me a better experience in 2d though?

Gregster · 1 Mar 2012 at 18:13

I am not 100% but I dont think the 3D will work with AMD cards. Somebody might have a work around but I am not sure sorry.

Hey guys, I'm building a PC very soon and am looking at 3D monitors, was wondering if anyone has some specific recommendations. Sorta looking at a max of £200 to spend on one but the cheaper the better of course. Also do 3D monitors suffer from any form of response time or refresh rate issues? I'm not too clued up on them.
