3D shutter glasses.........any good?

[Hquervo]

I just bought a pair of Eye3D shutter glasses. Has anyone here had experience with these or other shutter glasses? How does it look?

[Maggi]

Hi Hquervo,

I want to buy those too ...

What is your question about ?
Do you have problems ?

I mean you should tell us what it looks like ...

A few years ago I was playing on of the arcade games with 3D glasses and it looked like you can grab those 3D objects.

If you don't have a three dimensional view (you don't see depth), it could be a config problem.

I think there is some kind of switch on the glasses to invert the refresh.

Please tell me what it's like ...

I just ordered them...they will be here wednesday, I was just checking to see if I could find anyone who has used them before. So far I've heard that the Eye3D 4 in 1 are the best shutter glasses out there, in performance and value. That UPS Guy better get here fast.... hee hee.

So Hquervo, what's the verdict? Those glasses look pretty tempting but I want to hear a G400 owner's opinion

Ok....I finally got my new toy. They kick ass. Unreal looks awesome, Pod Racer pretty god, Turok2 awesome. One problem with the shutter glasses is that you need to have a good monitor capable of supporting over 120hz refresh at the resolution you want to play. I recomend 1024x768. I have a Viewsonic PT795 and it works great. The other problem I noticed is that in a game like Unreal Tournament that has a lot of lights and stuff, the glasses don't work very well. Because there is always a bit of ghosting, due to the shutter technology, it can get very disturbing visually. I can play for about an hour before I get a bit eye sore. They are a fun toy, and cost too much for the quality you get, but there is nothing that can replace the feeling I got the first time I saw the Metrabyte logo actually reach out of the monitor at me. They are SWEET.....
