Lines

For the price the lines are not a huge disappointment. After the first week I didn't even notice them. Also the lines are only present in 2D mode in 3D they go away. The speakers are noting special especially compared to my 5.1 surround, I would not...

The monitor is thin, and sleek. The 3D works very well and because it uses polarization the glasses require no batteries. This screen is bright, it is at least twice as bright as my old LCD's but the colors are not washed out. In fact the colors are...

Now for the bad. The screen seems to have hair thin horizontal lines going across it as another reviewer stated. I am pretty sure it has something to do with the polarization technology it uses for the 3D. After a while the lines become less noticeable...

Awesome Passive 3D

I have a pair of these and they are awesome, if you understand the limitations of passive monitors you won't be disappointed with the quality of them. Do a little research and you *can* make these work with Nvidia 3D vision, just like the LG passive...

Hardware plus, Software huge huge minus.

As monitors go, I'm not an expert and won't comment on qualities like brightness, contrast, blacks, sound etc. It works very well in 2D and what 3D I could manage to work(non-PC HDMI source), is what I expect from any decent passive 3D display. The...

You get what you pay for.

For what I paid for, I'm okay with it. I wish I would have saved a couple hundred bucks more and got an HD 3D TV with a 120hz refresh rate; but life goes on and I'll learn from the experience, just wish it didn't cost me 260 dollars to do so. I hope...

I really like the 3D. It really does look nice. I struggled between giving this three or four stars. I went with three

I'm going to be a little harsh here ; I don't care what the specs say.. this isn't 1080p. Compared to (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16889262092) <- this, it's certainly not at least. It has small lines all through the...

Good monitor, but not a good 3D computer monitor

Executive summary: optimum 3D viewing distance is about 32" (70 cm). Not good for computing. Also, scale the image so it fills the screen in order for 3D to work at all (I had graphics card issues). Audio is excellent.

Great Budget 3D monitor

This monitor is perfect for what I want done... a Cheap 3D monitor that accommodates both my PS3 (HDMI) and PC (DVI), without the $400+ price tag.

3D, hooks up to PS3 and Computer, does what it says, 3D can be quite stunning at times

Height is not adjustable... it's sitting on top of a box right now for height. TriDef software is hit / miss

Consumer review by: M. E. Balzer "What is Reality?" (amazon.com)

Works as claimed, a good LCD monitor with an underwhelming stereo viewing effect.

I was attracted to this monitor because it was an inexpensive passive stereo viewing LCD panel. As far as LCD panels go, this one is pleasant to look at, with a matte finished screen. I found that viewing 2D images were in my opinion, striking. Color...
