Add all day video gaming and I think there is a possibility small or large of long term or perm. They really do need to do medical testing on this because people are being effected by prolonged use of 3D glasses with tv. At best I'd only use it very little and for short term use. I have read enough to stay away from this 3D glasses hardware. I wouldn't be surprised to find if and when they do a good long term study of people using them long term in gaming start to have long term medical problems if or when they get around to doing good studies on the topic. They should have left it in the theaters. I guess most people haven't read that people using 3D tv's have been getting headaches and it's not a few but a lot of people. If they ever get a holographic display then I'd be into it.īillcat479It seems people don't follow the news on this area very much. They dumped this on the market pretty fast without doing any studies that I know of but with the amount of people showing headaches I think it is getting more attention or should damm well start checking out the possibility of any chance of eye damage or worse.
It seems people don't follow the news on this area very much. I rocked 5760 x 1080 in BFBC2, Aion and L4D for a long time :P. (even cheaper with smaller monitors.īut 3x monitors is still much better then single 2D monitor.
It adds amazing depth and realism to the games over 2D, doesn't have a negitive "fish eye effect", no bezels to deal with, same GPU power requirements as 3x monitors (or less), doesn't interrupt game huds or hotbars and only costs about $600-700 for the most expensive 27" screen + glasses combos. (Or even more expensive projector set ups that require a ton of space and cost as much or more if you want to try and get rid of the bezels) The best you can do with 3x monitors is use expensive 1920 x 1200 IPS monitors in portrait mode, but in this set up the bezels are normally cutting right through game HUDs / hotkey bars and puts the bezels far too close to your center of view.įurther more, for this kind of Eyefinity/Nvidia surround monitor set up, costs about $1200 - $1500. Problem with 3x monitors is the fish-eye effect that's very disturbing (and not fixable) in landscape mode. I'm a fan of both 3x monitor set ups, but 3D is a lot cooler. GreghomeIMO, 3D is still not as appealing and no as cheap as Eyefinity or 2D Vision Tri-Screen Gaming.
