How to use 3D on AMD graphics card?

[tsux]

Hello,

I dont know much about 3D
I was reading a forum topic on here about the LG W2363D and got tempted by it.
I was saving up for a Dell UltraSharp™ U2311H, however the LG currently has nice discount and supports 3D.

3D isnt something that interests me a great deal and I wouldnt be asking this if it wasnt for the LG monitor.
If I was to purchase this monitor what else would I need to set up 3D? I guess i can do 3D because that monitor has 3d support and i'm using a AMD 6950 which i beleive also supports 3D.

I looked in the store and see the nvidia glasses at £100 + but no amd ones. Do i need to buy some glasses like that? Can i use some cheap ones that they give out at the cinema lol? If i have to pay £100+ for 3d glasses i'll skip this monitor and buy the Dell U2311H ^^

Thanks both.
Would be nice if it works with standard glasses so it's cheaper.
Does anyone know for sure if it does work with standard glasses and for sure if AMD does actualy do 3d?

Google iz3d , has support for many different monitor types including 120hz

Thanks.
I'm having a look now.
At the moment i'm not 100% sure what this iz3d is for. I have to install this software to get 3d to work?
Doesnt the monitor or amd have software for it?

3D on AMD really isn't worth the trouble for the most part, very patchy support for games, very varied quality of the effect and 120Hz isn't the smoothest on ATI/AMD either (works fine for some people, others have to adjust registry entries to use 120Hz and others get unfixable issues like stuttering, flickering and screen tearing unless they drop down to 60Hz).

My personal opinion is 3D Vision isn't really worth bothering with either - on the balance of probability you'll prolly ditch it once the novelty has worn off mostly because of the extra effort it involves other than anything else.

thank Rroff. If it's such a hassle and not very good quality i most likely will skip this monitor and go for the dell.
If i was to get this monitor what extra equipment and software would i need?
From what i understand its this.

1) 3d monitor
2) 3d supported gfx card ( 6950 for me )
3) 3d glasses ( Any 3d glasses will work? )
4) Install 3d software such as this IZ3d thing
5) Play a game/watch a movie etc that supports 3d

Using iz3d you'd need the iz3d drivers - your monitor would definitely work in anaglyph mode using a pair of basic red/cyan glasses, for more advanced 3D effects in proper color you'd need a specific output device (not sure your monitor is supported or not) and the iz3d glasses - admittedly its awhile since I used it but the 3D effect was pretty basic in most games and somewhat brute force in implementation - so some games it would work well with others pretty badly.

There is also AMD H3D but its even more limited in terms of titles it works properly with: http://www.amd.com/us/products/technologies/amd-hd3d/Pages/hd3d.aspx

From a quick glance it doesn't look like the LG W2363D is supported by either of them.

Thanks ^^
I think i'll just get the dell monitor.
3D has never bothered me up to seeing this monitor. After a few trys the novaility would likely go away and never be used again, also the lack of support for amd 3d doesnt sound promising.
