Hey guys

Ok I have been looking about for info on 3D for mainly movies and some gaming and have now come to the conclusion that I need a fairly decent nVidia GFX card, and either a Monitor with built in Emmiter or a monitor capable of displaying 3D plus a Vision 2 kit

I have just upgraded my PC mother board CPU and ram

Intel Core i7-4790K 4.00GHz (Devil's Canyon) Socket LGA1150 Processor

Asus Maximus VII Ranger Intel Z97 (Socket 1150) DDR3 ATX Motherboard

TeamGroup Vulcan RED 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 PC3-17100C11 2133MHz Dual Channel Kit

So, I thought about going along the route of a Monitor with it built in already, and have looked and seen (well I think I have read things right lol) that LIGHTBOOST is a newer technology, and also the nVidia Vision 2 is the lastest and current version

so, I looked at the following two monitors, but one (ASUS) says its END OF LIFE stock, although it is equipped with LIGHBOOST and Vision 2 and the other (ACER) doesn't mention LIGHTBOOST and only says VISION not vision 2

both come bundled with glasses, the ACER I imagine the first version of Vision


27" Asus VG278H 3D Monitor with Nvidia Vision 2 Glasses and Lightboost Technology Bundle

Acer 3D LED HD 27" Monitor HDMI Bundle with NVIDIA 3D Vision Glasses


so my question is, which one is the better one?

anyone have any thoughts on this please :)

best wishes

I would go for the external emitter if only because you can then use it on other monitors.

Love 3D Vision on my RoG Swift.
 
If the Acer come with glasses but not an emitter then im guessing it'll be either built in, or not active shutter. The whole purpose of the emitter is to send a signal to your glasses to tell them when to blank out one lense then the other. Your FPS will split images between both eyes, 60 fps for example will send 30 fps to each eye, per second alternatively. your emitter tells your glasses when.

If your dont have active shutter and you have (if i remember) passive 3d then your glasses will let certain images through each lense, imagine your left eye can only see pixels like this ===== and your right eye will show +++++, put together makes 3d.

Back on point, i cant seem to find either on Ocuk to compare price but i would have to say the Asus monitor only from personal experience with both brands i find asus more reliable, better build quality and performance.
