I had recently put together a gaming computer, but was stuck with a 17-inch 720p monitor I had received as a present 2 years ago. I couldn't enjoy the full High-Definition experience my games were meant to display, so I decided to order a monitor. Seeing as I have had a wonderful experience with passive 3D televisions, I decided to order this 3D monitor. I ordered a few days before New Year's day however, and Amazon was out of stock. Seeing as how other sellers were selling the monitor for much more than amazon was selling it, I decided to "reserve" one so that it would be purchased as soon as amazon had it in stock. After two days, amazon was finally stocked with it, and the order had gone through. I received it much sooner than I expected too. The box it was
shipped in was slightly crushed in one corner, but the box inside holding the monitor was in perfect condition. Everything in the description was present with no missing cables or parts. The passive 3D lens clip-on is...Read more

I ordered this item, off because I wanted a new LED monitor with HDMI to use with my pc and game consoles. Add in the 3D capability and I was sold instantly. The color, contrast, size(upgrade from 19 inch) and in full 1080p greatness!! 2D display quality is amazing! Far better than the standard HP monitor I was using. 3D display looks great as well, slight ghosting in some cases. Seems to work much better with the included TriDef software on the PC than playing games in 3D on PS3, which there is a noticeable loss in quality. Not a fault of the display, something that is necessary for the PS3 to push out 3D video. Overall great item, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great monitor and the occasional 3D fun.

Good monitor, but not a good 3D computer monitor,

This review is from: Viewsonic V3D231 23-Inch Monitor (Personal Computers)
Executive summary: optimum 3D viewing distance is about 32" (70 cm). Not good for computing. Also, scale the image so it fills the screen in order for 3D to work at all (I had graphics card issues). Audio is excellent.
This monitor might be wonderful as a console gaming monitor. As a 3D computer monitor - not so much. The product descriptions I read didn't warn me about the viewing distance. I'm about 24" from the screen while at the computer. At that distance you get two jumbled images, not 3D. It looks fine another foot or so back. Sadly, that's not a good working distance when keyboard and mouse are involved.
My first thought when I unpacked this monitor is that it is weightless. Plugged it in and the picture is crisp and sharp. Nice. but then... why do I have such huge black borders around the picture? After much fussing with the controls, installing "display drivers" from the included CD (not necessary), etc. I finally found the "scaling option"...Read more
