it says to plug it into a standard pc. does that mean it works with a pc that doesnt support 3d? if so could i use an external monitor to make it work

At this point I cannot recommend these glasses over now existing products. I would checkout Nvidia's 3D Vision instead. Though to answer your question, these glasses have an adapter for a VGA/DSub monitor output (meaning no DVI/HDMI) that acts as a mediator giving a passthrough to your monitor and a syncing signal for the glasses to sync to the monitor refresh. And as mentioned in my review, you need to be careful with using these polarized filter glasses on LCD monitors (which also are polarized), as you'll likely get a very dark or no picture at all. However, either way, you need an external monitor to make it work, these glasses only blank out each eye at one time to sync each eyes view to the proper perspectives frame, they are not video monitors themselves.

As long as it connect via hdmi it should work...I play 3D via a tablet...Hope this helps...

Hi, Sorry, it should be used with nVidia graphics card. please see 3d vision system requirements in following link: http://www.nvidia.com/object/3d-vision-system-requirements.html

http://www.nvidia.com/object/3d-vision-system-requirements.html You need a card on that list that says it supports 3d. There are 3rd party drivers that allow other cards, but the quality isn't quite as good.

Not really what this is made for. if you have a GPU mounted HDMI and you just want to run a cable to a standard VGA monitor (W/O sound) just get a HDMI to VGA cable. This is to connect a PC with VGA only to something like a TV or projector.

No, just the video card. It should work if you use a 3D TV through the HDMI connection.

I havent tried mine for 3D yet, but I cant see why this wouldnt be just fine as a 3D screen.

The 3D function does not work with the PS3. This projector requires a special type of "signal" that only some specific computer video cards can output.

Most model PC's have an HDMI port? You need to check your ports if no HDMI then check your manual to find what kind of system you have prior to committing to the mini display port!!

Honestly I have no idea what that even means but I don't think it plays specifically 3D formats it just converts whatever is on your screen to 3D, kindof a psuedo 3D if you will. It's really just a novelty for this monitor imo, but I love the monitor either way.

I think the answer is NO to what you've asked. It's not full 3D, its 540p 3D. The screen is not dependant on any particular graphics card, as it is passive 3D. Tridef told me they no longer support this screen, so I use other software to view 3D content. Sorry, I haven't tried it with any games yet, but I'm sure it'd work.

From what ive read you have to play the 3d movie through your computer with addtl software. Download the users manual for the projector and it will explain the 3d

I think the 3D function is dependant on 3d software that comes with it. My guess, and it is only is a guess, is that it would not funciton as a 3d monotor while hooked up to the Xbox but would function just fine in 2d. I think the real problem would like in the Xbox. The Monitor is capable but it would need the item transmiting the visual picture to put out a passive 3d signal. Goodl Luck.

Theoretically, yes. This projector is a DLP 3D ready projector BUT understand that the only video inputs on this model projector are VGA and the standard definition "yellow" video connection. In order to view a 3D movie on a 3D ready device (PS3, Xbox 3650, PC, etc) you would need to have that device plugged into the projector on the VGA port (standard def won't work for the 3D aspect) and have compatible 3D glasses (the cheapy red/blue ones don't work, nor do the plastic ones used at movie theaters, you'd need a TV quality set). As for myself I've never used the feature since I don't have the glasses. But it is supposedly possible. Theoretically, yes.

Hi, sorry about the delay. I have been on business in Canada. We have not used it for anything in 3D yet so I really can't help you. It seems to work fine for normal HD coming in from an HDMI, but that is as far as we go. Sorry.

Yes, it should connect and play easily. I don't know if the 3D will work with it, but it should perfectly in 2D.

My earlier response is not exactly correct. The size is standard but the HDMI cable needs to be high speed. The manual states, "--- 1080p, deep colors or 3D images may not display properly with a standard cable". Sorry!
