I don't have the PS3 monitor, but from what I've read it is 3D shutter technology, ala Nvidia, but it's not stated specifically. I'm not sure how you got the Fuji W3 to work directly with the monitor. There would have to be video card computing technology between the Fuji and the monitor for it to work. Did you mean you connected the Fuji to the PS3 console, which was connected to the monitor?

As for the Lenova and the 9600GT card. It does support 3D vision as far as I know, BUT you need 3D vision software, which you can purchase from the nvidia website for about $50. You also need to go into the video card setup and turn on 3D on the card. That should do it.

Thanks for the info. $50 seems like a lot of money just to enable 3D functions, but I guess there really isn't a way around that.

In my initial setup with the camera, I plugged a cable with a mini HDMI connector into the W3, then plugged the other end of the cable, with a regular HDMI connector, directly into the PS3 monitor. Worked pretty well. The monitor even auto detected the type of 3D signals it was getting. I don't own a PS3 machine; just that 3D monitor.

I'm sure there are better 3D displays out there, but as I didn't have to pay my brother anything for it, I couldn't argue with the price. So I guess I shouldn't worry about the $50 for the 3D Vision s/w.
