Hi I am going to get a new monitor. I want a 3d ready one although I will not use 3d immediately. The asus vg248qe looks great. I only have two things? setting me back. 1. Some of the reviews say color quality is poor, is this true? 2. One of the reviews made it almost sound like you can't turn 3d off, can you turn 3d off?

If you plan to use 3D Vision depending on the game, then you have a couple different options on how to turn it off for your 2D games:
1) Once the game loads, press Ctrl-T, and it will turn off 3D, but the drivers are on, and will cause a little bit of a slow down.
2) Go into the Nvidia control panel, and uncheck stereoscopic 3d.

For a shortcut to #2, I have a couple batch files to turn it on or off. I put them on my taskbar to easily turn it on or off, depending on my mood. Put this into a .bat file:
@echo off
"C:\Program Files (x86)\NVIDIA Corporation\3D Vision\nvstlink.exe" /enable
exit


To turn it off:
@echo off
"C:\Program Files (x86)\NVIDIA Corporation\3D Vision\nvstlink.exe" /disable
exit

1. Go into 'Programs and Features'(Can also be found by typing uninstall in search in the charms of windows 8)
.2. Locate Nvidia 3d Vision Drivers and uninstall them. (There should be 2, a regular Nvidia 3d Vision driver and a 3d Vision controller.)
These are seperate from your actual Nvidia GeForce drivers and should allow you to play your game normally with no issues after the uninstall.

Hopefully this will help.
 
3D Vision will be off by default. The monitor, out of the box, does not support 3D Vision. It requires a 2ndary purchase of the Nvidia 3D Vision 2 kit, to be able to turn on 3D Vision. Once you have the kit, you still have to enable it within the Nvidia control panel, or it remains off. Every time you update your drivers, it turns off the 3D Vision drivers.

There is nothing to worry about in that regard.
