You're a bit late.

Ahhh why does the 120hz screen have to come in a bad package. I want a 24" IPS or VA panel with 120hz, not a 22" 1680*1050 TN panel! I'm still kinda contemplating between getting this or getting the 24" NEC.

Edit: Actually, it's probably better to wait until 120hz has matured a little. When/if I do a screen upgrade, I'll get it then and adopt the next technology. Maybe when OLED's come round or something.

It's just the way Nvidia have requested they are sold.

It's an Nvidia technology at the moment so for now, no.

Unfortunately the options for Ati are more limited.

A company called iz3d have there own propitiatory monitor which works with both ati and nvidia, however it suffers from poor 2D quality, severe ghosting issues, has to be imported from the USA, which ends up costing more than the samsung-nv solution, and no European support if anything goes wrong.

We are lucky for once that this time around the bundle offered by ocuk in fact costs slightly less than the US package if using a $-£ conversion.

The Nvidia stereo mode is a joke, (possibly) heavy glasses that need batteries that basically cause you to wink one eye then the other. With the "3d" mode you still only get 60fps because each eye only see's half the frames but without the 120hz screen's you'd be at an incredibly painful 30fps all the time. Either way the glasses need batteries which will weigh something, and need constantly recharging or replacing, probably not be very comftable due to glasses and battery weight and the tech gives you headaches with longer use. nvidia does it again

Heavy glasses?! The term 'Man up' springs to mind! You never worn a pair of Oakley Thumps?

GM@N · 23 Apr 2009 at 22:11

I have spent about 30mins playing with these and can say the the glasses weigh no more than any normal pair.

Forget the glasses, what's the monitor like at 120hz? is it just as good as a CRT ?

Oggy · 24 Apr 2009 at 00:04

Yes to put it simply

Its as close to CRT as you will get the fluid motion of players is spot on if you are a hardcore gamer you will notice a massive difference. Even in windows the mouse cursor movement is so smooth.

I really fancied one of these, however not sure I can justify spending £400 on a 3D display that is only actually visible 12% of the time and has noticeable flicker. From the xbitlabs review...

As you can see, the lens is translucent only 2 milliseconds out of each 16.7 milliseconds. That is, most of the time both lenses of the 3D glasses are shut and the monitor has 6.3 milliseconds (because the frames go at a rate of 120Hz, i.e. one frame each 8.3 milliseconds) to change the picture.

Unfortunately, such a low on-off time ratio (with a short period of translucence and a long period of opaqueness) leads to a 60Hz flicker. The perception of the flicker depends on the particular person. Some people may take no notice of it while others will have sore eyes, but the flicker is indeed perceptible.

tang0 · 25 Apr 2009 at 10:48

Is the flicker noticeable with or wihout the glasses?

neologan · 25 Apr 2009 at 11:07

with glasses - its the 3d feature stuff that can flicker.

nvidia need to get rid of the glasses and sell this as just the monitor.

Silenced · 25 Apr 2009 at 11:13

I would love to buy this, just, £400! Pfft, no way a 15 year old can get that...

You can buy the monitor without the glasses from other places for about 120 quid cheaper

Amnesia · 25 Apr 2009 at 13:35

yup ocuk need to be advertising just the monitor on its own too. otherwise they will miss out on a fair amount of sales.

any release date for this yet ?
