>Apparently 3D gaming glasses went byebye with the CRT. I found out after cruizing a bit, my interest sparked by a detail line in the nVidia drivers readme. I had a pair of glasses built into my old GeForce3. It was pretty cool, it could turn any 3D game into 3D. Of course it worked better with some games then others. Sometimes you could tell that they only made a sprite where a 3D shape should be, and that just sent things all askew.

I’m sure the technology is about where it used to be, but with my 30″ monitor – I have a renewed interest in having things pop out at me. I also have the wheel again, so driving games would be interesting.

I kept seeing “CRT support only” as I looked around, until finally I searched for 3D glasses LCD and found that one company (“first and only”) was supporting LCDs with their glasses. They recommend 70hz or better – so it still may not look all that great (my monitor goes 60hz max).

So if you’ve got an nVidia card (and apparently ATI supports it too?) and $100: Check out these 3D Glasses for LCDs from EDimensional.
