You could check the nVidia page of officially supported displays. It
includes a search tab so you can check for "Built-in Emitter."

Performing that search brings up 5 contenders. Good luck finding any of
these products still for sale.
Unfortunately, this NVidia page has not been updated for years.
The qualifier "3D-fähig (aktiv)" at
http://www.heise.de/preisvergleich/?cat=monlcd19wide&xf=5848_3D-f%E4hig+(aktiv)#xf_top
should indicate a built-in emitter, but I looked at some of the descriptions of these 11
monitors and was unable to confirm that they indeed have a built-in emitter. So one has to
research every specific case.
I changed the wording on the wiki page.

I went through the specs for the monitors on the Heise list, and none of
them seems to have a built in emitter compatible with Nvidia 3D Vision
2. It looks like it is a bad time to buy a 3D monitor. At this point it
might be easier to just go for a Quadro with 3-pin connector.

I asked the company who runs the price info site to check their assignments, and they
fixed the categories: http://geizhals.eu/?cat=monlcd19wide now has a "inkl.
3D-emitter" attribute. This currently only returns the Asus 278HR which can only be
bought in Poland, or through EBay.
The cheapest current Nvidia Quadro with (optional?) 3-pin DIN Stereo connector
(needed for Linux) is the K4200
(http://www.nvidia.de/object/quadro-desktop-gpu-specs-de.html) which starts at
~ €700.

FX3700 is the oldest Quadro model with 3-pin DIN Stereo connector that is
supported by the current nvidia drivers. it can be bought on ebay
for about $30-$40. works fine with coot/pymol.
