Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought this to reward myself for getting a scholarship, (which is rather counter-intuitive, but hey you need to celebrate.) and I was pleasantly surprised.This was not before swearing at the computer for about 30 minutes trying to install all the drivers the right way, but once it worked, the 3d effects were quite amazing.
I was disappointed to find that nothing really jumped OUT at you, but instead it felt like the monitor was a window to a smaller world.Nevertheless, it was very impressive. It didn't put as much of a press on my computer as all the reviews said it would, I was still getting very acceptable framerates playing rather demanding games using a GTX 275.
The glasses are pretty cool looking, and as a small bonus, they come charged enough to work out of the box. The monitor is really fantastic too,beautiful 1080p resolution, bright colors, and you can adjust it a lot of different ways for the best angle.
I originally got this for the games, and I was really shocked at how well all of them worked, I've yet to reach a game that doesn't support it.
My beef with this is the price.I would have waited if I wasn't so impulsive.The price was just a bit too high for what you get.It's cool and everything, but you are definitely paying a premium for new technology.It is cool enough that I'm keeping it though - I'm not regretting it THAT much.
And since this is a new technology, the amount of media for this is pretty small for everything but the games.There are a couple picture sets on nvidia website, but aside from that, you are pretty much stuck playing games for the 3d effect.
tl;dr:If you have the money, and PLAY GAMES, I'd recommend this.Otherwise, wait it out.
