Hi all, I'm sorry, I know this has been extensively discussed, but does anybody know right now where one can buy a zalman monitor (either the 22" or 24", or whatever sizes they are). I am a crystallographer at an Undergrad only university, and it appeals to me that passive stereo devices exist for 3D viewing (active glassware is nice, but expensive for me to maintain). I'd simply like to try one out - I'll buy it from Europe if necessary, I'd really just like to see it and see how well it works. With that, do we really have to buy Zalman glasses, or do movie glasses work (I assume if they don't work that it's just an inverted stereo thing, but that could be very wrong).
I'm curious to hear from those with Zalman monitors, is the stereo crisp and is it something that one can easily stare at for say an hour or so at a time (maybe longer)? That was my main love for the emitters, in the sense that one could stare at it for hours and your eyes didn't fatigue or ache. I don't use stereo so much anymore due to the great improvements in graphics by all of these programs, however, it is still nice to do, and when teaching it's an incredible tool, but only if it works well. If I get this up and running, would anybody be interested in 7 emitters and about 16 pair of glasses (I think 10 work well, the other 6 just need a slight repair, very cheap compared to the price of the glasses). The glasses cost around $500 or so each (new), and the emitters are around $100 each (that's just for reference, not something I'm charging). I may have to get some compensation here - but I haven't thought about that yet (I'd consider trading for 7 Zalman monitors once I assured myself that it works). Thanks for you help on this.
