Movies?

I know there are some Blu-Ray 3D movies you can watch in 3D with this, as long as you have a Blu-Ray drive on your laptop (Mine does!) Should I mention this? Kelton2 (talk) 23:59, 18 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

History of Nvidia's Push for 3D Stereoscopic Displays

I think the history section should be expanded to include more information on the Nvidia Stereo drivers which date back to the early 2000's, as well as Nvidia's early efforts to popularize 3D stereoscopic gaming. I found a link to a review for the Geforce 3 Ti 500 on Tom's hardware (http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/win,404-8.html). The review, which dates back to 2001, specifically discusses the card's ability to display games using 3d shutter glasses. This card was released at the height of Nvidia's push to popularize 3D stereoscopic gaming.

I think the article should also discuss the role that LCD displays played in halting Nvidia's effort with regards to stereoscoping displays. Like Nvidia's newer 3D Vision shutter glasses, these early shutter glasses needed a monitor which ran at 120 Hz. This was not a problem for CRT monitors, but most LCDs could not run that fast. As the market switched over to LCDs, Nvidia was forced to shelve their 3D steroescopic project.

The truth, which many people don't realize, is that Nvidia's 3D Vision is not "new technology", rather it's a remarketing of some very old technology. Understanding this will help people understand where Nvidia's 3D Vision came from, why it vanished for rougly a decade in the mid-2000's, and why it's suddenly comming back. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rleonar5 (talk • contribs) 16:16, 26 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Reception

Given the number of years NVIDIA have been peddling this, seemingly to little effect, since is it remains poorly supported, it seems strange that there is so little information on the poor reception for this product.

As it stand, it reads like a brief advertisment. surfingus (talk) 10:29, 23 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
