Best monitor for 3D gaming?

[Dunc-TT]

Anyone recommend the best 3D monitor for gaming (mainly FPS)?

Minimum of 22inch.

Suggestions:

Just wanted to see what the consensus is out there?

BTW - Sorry about listing this in graphics card sub category, but there is no monitor sub-section.

I think all monitors above are great for 3D gaming...
Well, let's hear the others opinions.

Acer GD235HZ looks promising, but we need an opinion from an experienced person about them.

Looks like not many people have an opinion on this one...

I've always liked asus monitors and it is the largest one so that would be my chioce if cost isn't a concern, but I've never seen any of those models personally so I can't really make a recomendation.

 

[Dunc-TT]

Problem with the Asus one is that there are no reviews and no release date...

 

[Embra]

Is price and issue? Have you a budget?

From what I've seen, the Alienware is still best out of the 120hz/3d monitors. With that said, I'm still quite disappointed with the variety that's out there after all this time. I'm still in the market for one, but they really haven't done enough since they first started releasing them to make me budge.

The glaring difference between the three is the size. The Asus is a 27 inch, much bigger than the others. That is the only one I would consider.

All the 3D monitors have ghosting issues right ? if there, then i would´t get one of these..

Asus VG236....... 2ms response time, 23 inches, comes with Nvidia 3D kit.

Asus every day, all day. Don't look back.

Hmmm, Asus VG236... another one to consider then. Shame the larger one is not available. I wonder though if the larger 27inch screen would make the dots to big to consider sticking with the smaller model since I will be using it on a desk.

If you want to get bigger monitor (larger than 23"/24") then you must sit a little far away from your desk...

 

[Dunc-TT]

That is not going to be practical given the room I am using, and I have also seen some comments on the web about 27inch being too large to focus on all the screen, so looks like 22-24inch is where I need to go.

As I am running a 27 inch screen, I would have to say, there is nothing you need to do differently in terms of your ergonomics. The pixel size is also not an issue on my rig. Besides giving a much more immersive gaming experience, the thing that I really notice is there seems to be a lot of screen desktop space for placing windows side by side or maximizing to a big full screen.

No price limit other than the experience needs to justify the cost. I don't mind paying more for a better product, but I still have to justify the expense to myself.

Well judging by this review, http://hothardware.com/Reviews/Asus-VG236-120Hz-LCD-Monitor-Review/?page=1 I would choose the Asus VG236H over Acer GD235HZ and the nVidia 3D Glass kit is a bonus.

Shame your monitor is not 3D, but thanks for the input. 27 inch 3D monitors seem to be rare, if not impossible to find at the moment.

I am warming to the BenQ XL2410T as LED tends to be the way forward.

Not to mention the Anandtech review, which was the reason I bought it.

Well it seems there are mixed reviews about the Asus. Bit-tech review is not so favorable.

I suppose there will always be a mixture of opinions unless something is really outstanding.

I got a good deal on my monitor at Costco... right before I heard about 120Hz 3D ready monitors. To my knowledge there are no 27 inch 3D monitors out there. To confuse things, Nvidia has a list of 3D ready monitors. Does this mean these are the only 120 hz monitors out there, or are these just the ones that have been "certified" by Nvidia, although others may work as well.

I know I will be slow to adopt 3D, but I recently tried out a three screen 3D racing simulator using Nvidia 3D Vision... it was awesome!

Cheers for the feedback. I think the BenQ is the one unless I hear something bad about it. Will only be using one screen though, but that should keep the frame rate high!

Alright, well I guess I should add that I love it too, just to add to the other positives.

Just to say I ordered the BenQ XL2410T. Unfortunately it is still very new, so getting hold of one may take a month.
