Pretty sure i saw in a review that the 3d aspect only works on "3d enabled" tvs, of which i think there are only 2 out there for sale at the moment as far as im aware.
I think "3D encoders" are a little bit like "cable card compatible devices," i.e. vaporware. They exist in concept, but there's no market for them so they either are not being produced by anyone, or are produced by one company and sold for about 1000% what they should actually cost.
I don't know what the fuck this RealD encoder is. There are 3D HDTVs but they are few and far between. However, more of Panasonic's line is 3D next year. And after CES we'll probably know more. And yea, you're buying a new TV to get that to work, as far as I know.
I thought that requirement was just referring to the RealD technology that they used in the theaters.
RealD uses circularly polarized light. As far as I know, there are currently NO TVs that can produce this effect. Good luck projecting clockwise and counterclockwise polarized light from your LCD screen... I'm not sure even linear polarization could work on current TVs.
don't want to threadjack, but are these things as cool as they sound? being able to play almost any modern game in 3D sounds too good to be true, so I guess it probably is.

Taken from the page:
Cons: Does not support SLI or Crossfire configuration, does not support dual monitor configuration, does not support 64-Bit operating systems, and does not support OpenGL apps. Now, that being said, I don't quite understand why they call it a "gaming monitor" as the latest and greatest of games require more memory than a 32-Bit OS can handle, and some even require an SLI or Crossfire setup to run at full spec.

So its too good to be true.
the manufacturer responded to that con list:
Thank you for your review. Since this review was written in Q12008, iZ3D has improved many of the cons that you have listed.
Although iZ3D doesn't officially support SLI/Crossfire yet, we have had customers report that it is working. You can see this in the link below to our forums. We will have full official support by the end of 2009 or beginning of 2010.
Dual monitor setup is possible with the use of two video cards acting separately (non-SLI).
We do support 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems, including XP, Vista, and Win 7. The improved software can be downloaded from the link below.
not sayin' that he should buy the monitor, but it appears to be less bad than what that reviewer said
What I don't get is why they didn't include an old fashioned red/blue anaglyph mode. That's what the 3D movies do for DVD/Blu-Ray release, isn't it?
Seems odd that they wouldn't have included that to hit a wider demographic, especially considering all the 3D hype surrounding the movie.
I don't think that's what's going on here. the front page of www.hdguru.com has some details of how 3DTV/Games are going to go down next year, looks like it's moving faster than people thought. Thank god they made the move to have all 3D media be backwards-compatible.

Yeah, I was able to read the reviews there on my own, I was looking for some personal testimonials from some PA readers. As I understand it, the thing doesn't readily support SLI or dual monitors because it has 2 inputs - it essentially operates AS 2 overlapping monitors, offset slightly to create the 3D effect.

So, will it not be possible for a 120hz TV to do 3d gaming/movies? I don't see why not...

That page has some details, but it seems a bit dated.

I want to know more PA people on Twitter.
