hi im about to buy a monitor setup, but i can't seem to decide to get 3D or not. Is it worth buying now or is it still in the testing stages and i need to wait? i think i would buy the VG278H if i did do it. It would be running off of a 680.

Also, what is everyone's take on this surround thing? is it any good, and in everyone's opinion, is it better than a 3D setup? I want alot of immersion, on a budget.
 
I personally love 3D vision, and I find most who have used it like it a lot too. Most those who call it a gimmick have never used it. That said, not all games will function well with it. In which case, your 3D monitor becomes a 120hz monitor, which has its advantages too.

I find about 1/3 of my games work well with it, but recently have found a modder who has fixed a few more and has a tool to fix my own games. Most games that don't work well with it, it is because the dev's display the shadows in 2D. Helix's mod helps you fix those issues: http://helixmod.wikispot.org/gamelist
