Note that is a parallel thread running simultaneously on ccp4bb. Indeed, the future of stereo 3D is uncertain to bleak. Lack of demand for and availability of high-refresh CRTs is a serious problem, and as of yet, I have not seen a replacement technology capable of matching the price-point and usability of CRT-based quadbuffer stereo 3D.
One way to obtain CRTs nowadays is to buy used equipment through the online sites. In terms of models to look for, see <http://pymol.sourceforge.net/stereo3d.html>. Note however that high-refresh CRTs do have a finite useful life, so this workaround won't last forever.
