3D Screen - Fuck Yeah!

[Notuern]

Got a 3D-screen from a guy im currently in a project with(Not music.), and he only wanted ~100$ for it so i had to buy it.

Its just a 19" flatscreen, but god damn its awesome to play games on it!

Call Of Duty 4 is kinda scary, because shrapnel from nades seem to flare out of the screen.

.. so if you guy haven't tried playing on a 3d-screen, DONT do it! You will definitely get hooked!

Ya' know, just wanted to share'n'shit yo!

I'm totally out of the loop on these things, never even knew they existed - how exactly do they work? Do you need to wear glasses or something?

My DLP tv has 3d mode and you;re right its def cool

Holodeck?

I'm intrigued... How's watching porn with it?

3D screens?

Im new to this!

Never heard of this either. I just found this article.

Sounds really interesting!

There are many different kind of 3d screens now days, but the one i have require glasses, although they look like sunglasses, so you don't have that red-green image.
And ive heard that this screen allows more dramatic 3d-effects then those that don't require glasses.

Its just amazing when rockets come flying at you.. and i tried playing mirrors edge, and damn i got motion sick!

I still don't really get how they work, but it seems like it draws the images for the left & the right eye on every other line, and then the glasses some how filters these lines between your eyes.

Anyhow, i have a Zalman ZM-M190 if you guys want to check it out!

Edit: OH, and as far as i know, only nvidia has full support for 3d-screens at the moment.

Find me a stereoscopic porno and i will give you a full review!

Can you connect to it via a standard analog VGA cable, or does it have to be DVI? Either way, I could connect my PS3 or 360 to it, so I wonder if the 3D effect could be applied to those too! (no I don't play PC games, and no I don't want to argue about it )

nah, you can't turn any 2d material to 3d pictures, you have to have something shot (or rendered) with two cameras next to each other (like two eyes).
Then you just need to make sure each eye only sees one of the pictures (What Notuern describes are polarizing glasses)

this scares me lol
goddamn this is really a holographic universe!
I have to see some of these monitors

look at the little video on the bottom of the page... interesting

But my understanding is that's what this monitor or its software does, cuz Notuern seems to be implying that everything is in 3D (and I doubt CoD4 on PC comes with 3D monitor support, unless it was a patch or something!)

VGA works, but you have to have an nvidia card from the 7000 -> series.

You install Nvidias 3d-drivers, and the drivers them selves "override" the graphics engine of the game you are playing to allow 3d.. so no, not everything turns into 3d.

But its kind of true that you can take any modern 2D game and turn it into 3d, since all 2d games today have to be built with 3d(2D support doesnt exist in opengl or directx anymore.).. this means that the engine would be able to render the 2d screen from 2 different perspectives(Since its really 3d.)... man, im getting lost in my own explanations right now.

Anyways, most games seem to work great, but allot of the older games(especially those based on opengl) seems to have allot of issues with 3d-mode engaged, but almost every modern game runs really well.

Coolness, thanks for the lowdown - you didn't answer my question about whether I could run my consoles in 3D by connecting them to a 3D monitor, but I guess the implication is no because you said you have to download new GPU drivers; oh well, it'd probably give me a headache after awhile anyway!

oh so you still have to wear glasses with it? thats now very new tech. its simple to do that to an image, you need to split the image a few mm's apart and draw them in different colors and then pop on glasses and you get 3d. google it and it will tell you how to make some stuff.

what i dont understand is okay...so its 3d when your in windows mode yea? as in internet explorer, paint etc? how does it know what to draw in 3d and at what distance to shake the image to make more objects jump more then others?

or does it only work in games that support 3d modes?
