Advice on Active or Passive 3D

[jamjar]

Hi All I,m after some advice I,m not a gamer , but i love to watch Blu Ray films , and seen a few on my 3D Laptop ,so want to get a 3D Monitor for my p.c upstairs, i,ve been reading about the different types and wonder if i should still go for an Active or Passive type ? I have a Nvidia GPU in my system But i,ve read some good reviews about the LG D2342P-PN Monitor which is passive 3D .Also read that the Samsung 700 is a good screen too on Active 3D. The Nvidia 3D screen i,m looking at is either of the Benq XL2420 / 10 models , but not sure if its worth paying the extra £50 for the Nividia 3D vision 2 tech as i,m not a gamer ? any views please

if you just want it for films, do you have the space for a larger screen TV 32" and above not a monitor. With larger screens you will get better 3D emersion in the what ever you watch.

By all accounts the vision 2 makes the 3d far brighter and more realistic and cuts out cross talk

yeah i have a Sony 3d t.v 32 " screen in the room and your right its awesome viewing ! just wanted something for my bedroom , but i don,t watch t.v upstars just my own blu Rays and dvd,s i,m looking at the Benq XL2420 as it has the vision 2 screen , and i already have those Nvidia glasses with my 3D Dell Laptop just the price is alittle high , and the XL2410 doesn,t have the Vision 2
