3D Gaming Drivers
It is highly recommended that you install a third party 3D driver. The main supplier of this type of software is DDD who offer a free trial of their software. After the trial period expires the software will need to be registered at a cost to continue using it. The drivers work with ATI and NVIDIA graphics cards and is compatible with 32bit and 64bit Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7.

Reviews
Crowded Brain
…the Zalman – when combined with the right profile and driver – worked wonders in games and it does give you that added sense of realism.
The Inquirer
Depth perception is incredible and gives the game a feeling of space it never had in 2D. In our view it’s also at home as a PC monitor.
Once you’ve found the sweet spot, you are only a couple of feet away from the display and can soak up the detail in full HD glory. We ducked and moved sideways, falling into every 3D cliché you can imagine.

Customer Reviews
Very disappointed.
The horrible high pitched whine makes it the noisiest component of my PC. Poor viewing angle means colours look different in the centre compared to the edges of the screen. There is a visible colour temperature difference across the viewing angle. The backlight is uneven, showing nasty brightness bars around the edge. The weak stand means the monitor wobbles at the slightest touch. The ultra-glossy glass makes it all but unusable in a lit environment.
Te 3D it pretty terrible. It feels like a depth buffer hack rather then stereoscopic imaging, although I can’t be sure. I hadn’t realised how bad interlaced 3D would look - I’d kind of assumed that there would be something clever to prevent it looking like a blurry half res interlaced image but there isn’t and its just ugly. The 3D Driver does nothing to compensate for the reduced brightness and filtered colour of the glasses, meaning you have to set the brightness and colour settings every time you want to wear/remove the glasses.
Great general purpose display with 3D a useful extra
I am interested in 3D photography – this screen is perfect for editing and viewing 3D pictures at my desk. It’s also a great wide screen monitor for everyday use.
When using the display for 3D, you wear a pair of circularly polarised passive glasses; two pairs are supplied, one of which clips onto prescription glasses and can be flipped up out of the way. 3D is displayed by having alternate rows of pixels circularly polarised in the opposite sense so that when wearing the supplied glasses, the left eye sees, say, the even rows and the right eye the odd rows. With 1080 display lines, each eye sees 540 lines so you are a slightly aware of the lines for 3D viewing, like watching on old TV.
The display has analogue and digital interfaces; I use the latter to connect to an nVidia geforce gt 7600t graphics card and use Stereo Photo Maker freeware to view my pictures. No extra driver was required.
My only gripe is that the display readily attracts dust so has to be cleaned frequently.
