Dan:

I was considering selling my Wired Glasses on EBAY but never got around to it. Let me know if you have Paypal and if you receive positive feedback concerning your laptop and monitor.

I bought them back when I had a Nvidia card and they worked great. However, I never configured them for my ATI Radeon 9500 Plus. Cool

What is the highest refresh rate your monitor can handle? For the 3 D glasses to really work well you need a minimum of 85 Hz so you don't notice the flickering. These glasses work by blacking out the left and right lenses in an alternating manner. Think of a strobe light. When one is flashinf on and off, everything looks like it is moving in slow motion. Add a second strobe light but make it run opposite of the first one, and you would have just a regular light bulb that is always on. (That is overly simplified, but I think you get the picture) My 3D glasses work best at 100-120 Hz. No flickering at all and really good stereo viewing. Makes it a lot easier landing the big iron. Check with E-Dimensional's website to see if TFT monitors accept their glasses. That would be the safest bet.

Thanks for the comments so far.
My laptop TFT screen is running 1920 x 1200 at 60Hz refresh rate, so I guess that is too slow for the glasses.

Since the original glasses did not work on TFTs and the new ones do, I assume I would need the latest version, though that could be just software improvements I suppose. Anyway, I'm in the UK.

Thanks,
Dan

I owned a pair of these glasses when I had a CRT, but sold them on ebay when I moved onto TFT's. Never thought they would become available for th CRT, until they did. My Girfriend bought me a pair, the IR ones and I tried them. I must say I didn't get quite the results as i did from my previous ones connected to my CRT monitor.

My machine has come a long way since then:-

My computer Spec is: AMD Athlon 3500+, 2GbRAM, 800GBb HDD, 2 x NVIDIA Geforce 6600 GT SLI mode.
