Dear Harry, as you mention two screens: have you ever tried to use two 3D screens? We currently have that setup but are not too happy with it. So I wonder if its a general problem or very specific to our setup. Best regards, Alexander

We find the Samsung to have better image quality. As noted by others, in Europe you must specifically ask for the 3pin cable, since this is not bundled with the glasses, as it was (still is??) in North America. We use the consumer grade product, since we have no need for long range viewing. As Carsten noted you can also use two screens, and we have one working example of this (Viewsonic 3D, and LG normal).

According to Nvidia, a Quadro FX 4800, Quadro FX 4600 or Quadro FX 3700 graphics card can be used for 3D on Linux if it is connected via a 3-pin mini-DIN stereo connector. Has somebody experience with such a setup? Any help is kindly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Andreas Eichinger ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Harry M.
