Question: Aside from many bad reviews on I have read on 3D, how is the gaming quality in 2D?
Document: Updated: I have moved on to using a DLP 3D projector, especially for gaming as the crosstalk on these became too distracting to me in darker games, which are the majority of what I play. 3D DLP projectors have little to no crosstalk. This is monitor is great for most movies but many games suffer bad crosstalk from LCD tech in general. The viewing angle starts to become annoying over time as it's pretty inconvenient for watching movies. They are great monitors for the low cost and don't need the expensive Nvidia glasses, you just might want something a little more once the wow factor wears off.----------------------I have a pair of these and they are awesome, if you understand the limitations of passive monitors you won't be disappointed with the quality of this one.
I love this monitor. I've read the reviews and I agree with the "five-ers". The screen is bright, the colors are vivid and the 3D is excellent. It's a perfect complement to my Panasonic DMC-3D1 camera. The 3D software is acceptable and the driver installation and setup was straight-forward. Highly recommend.
I was attracted to this monitor because it was an inexpensive passive stereo viewing LCD panel. As far as LCD panels go, this one is pleasant to look at, with a matte finished screen. I found that viewing 2D images were in my opinion, striking. Color stood out, with what I can only call snappishness. I have read that tests fault this monitor for mediocre test results, but for general viewing, you could do far worse.I wish I could say the 3D stereo effect was as impressive, but I cannot.
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.
I do 3D professionally, and I wanted to move away from the nVidia active glasses/emitter systems. There are not many choices for passive 3D, and ViewSonic is a brand which has been making monitors for a long time. I was not disappointed! The 2D looks great when calibrated, and the 3D is very clean (with minimal ghosting, which they all have). The only downside is that you only get one pair of glasses, plus the clip-ons. No way I've found to order more! RealD glasses from the movie theater work, but not as well (the quarter wave retarder is 90 degrees different).
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.
As monitors go, I'm not an expert and won't comment on qualities like brightness, contrast, blacks, sound etc. It works very well in 2D and what 3D I could manage to work(non-PC HDMI source), is what I expect from any decent passive 3D display. The glasses are standard polarized lenses like RealD and are acceptable.The included software, however, namely TriDef, is beyond bad. If you intend to play PC games in 3D, you may be hugely disappointed. While it's true, most current games are really 32bit, if you are running a 64bit system or have a true 64bit game, TriDef WILL piss you off.No 64bit game/platform support, at all(as far as I can tell).
Enough said.If you buy this monitor you owe it to yourself to pick up Batman Arkham City, this game in 3D again is out of this world, you feel like you are batman. The fight scenes especially are unbelievable.I did connect my PS3 to this monitor (hdmi) and the quality of the display is great, but you can tell that 3d gaming on the ps3 vs. the pc is totally downgraded, I have crysis 2 on the ps3 and the pc and started both and I picked the same scene in the game, I hit the input button and the quality didn't even come close to the PC in 3d, but 2d for the ps3 is outstanding, no fault of the monitor I'm sure.Don't believe that 3D is a gimmick; I can guarantee that this is the best way to experience games hands down.
From there I went on to Battlefield bad company 2 and this was the game that blew me away, I must have played the single player campaign half a dozen times but It felt like an entirely different experience in 3D, It actually made me feel that I was there along with Sweetwater, There is nothing like watching a rpg coming right at you. The next game I played was Mass Effect 2, Ok I'm going to say this "you haven't experienced mass effect unless you play it in 3D" MIND BLOWING!!!!
For the gaming folks, you will want to go into the monitor settings and set the response time to maximum to get the best performance out of the monitor. It is not a true 120hz monitor, but the 2ms response time will go very well with gaming and watching a movie on your computer if you choose to do that.The 3D software is fair and looks just fine in the games I have tested it on. However, there are some things that will not show up and those are rather random so hard to detail here.
Answer: It works good.  I'm not super picky but the screen keeps up nicely with pixel refresh.
