I wanted to see if you guys think 3d monitors with 3d glasses are worth the buying. I currently want to buy a http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824176126

But then I searched http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824994036&cm_re=3d-_-24-994-036-_-Product

and I dont know if it will work with this monitor or do I need to buy something else.

For the additional price it certainly isnt worth it to me, you also need a high end nVidia card to make use of it. I dont think it will work with that monitor as it does not list that it is 120Hz which most that are will do. Its a lot of extra money for a feature that doesnt work in all games and may not make game play anymore enjoyable.

As far as 3d monitors go there are only two out: a Samsung and a Viewsonic. The Samsung has a slightly better image quality but lots of tech issues.

In January Acer is coming out with a 23.6" 16:9 (1080p native) 3d monitor that should be much better. Wait for that.

Also the glasses are stupidly overpriced. Both 3d monitors have dropped by about $200 in 6 months but the glasses have held at $200 the whole time.

Nvidia needs to drop the price the price on those glasses drastically.
