Hi all,

I've just read about a cheap TFT-screen & 3D-glasses combination from
"ZALMAN" (ZM-M220W 22" TFT with 2x 3D-glasses). I don't know if one can use
with linux but the technical specs look like it's using the normal Nvidia
driver. I think maybe the refresh-rate is either too low or the afterglowing
too long for 3D-model-building and thus it will produce a bad headache after
some hours, but maybe it's worth a try... Even if I doubt it with regard to
the price...
Actually I've just written an email to the german reseller with loads of
questions about the TFT and the possible use with linux/coot.

Unfortunately there's only a german web-page ... You can find it at
http://www.alternate.de/html/product/details.html?articleId=193317
and you have to klick on "Ausfuehrliche Details" for the specs) (euro 599,-)

There's also a 19" TFT & 3D-glasses set available ( ...?articleId=193301 )

Dear all -

While we are on the subject, does anyone in general have working in their
labs a stereo-3D solution that does not require CRT monitors but works on
LCD and preferably with Linux or OSX ? (any windows hints are welcome as
well).
