Re: Have AMD Radeon HD7550; Need 3D monitor for video editing.

I have a 27" ASUS passive 3D monitor and love it for editing--however it's not sold in the US anymore. There are only a few 3D monitors available on the market now and disappearing fast. Look on Amazon or ebay. You might have to get one from South Korea. I tried both the active Nvidia shutterglasses and polarized passive interleaved and found the passive better, though the interleaving does reduce resolution somewhat, especially when viewing still images. However, the Nvidia screens have a vertical grid look that I found displeasing as well. Passive is easier to use and allows others to share your viewing experience as the viewing angle is slightly better.

If you want only a 24" monitor and go the Nvidia shutterglasses route, then I would recommend this monitor:

If you want to go the passive route, then I've a friend who has this monitor and loves it though it's a 27":

The extra 3" of monitor size makes the 3D more immersive.

That said, I own the W3 and Panasonic 3D1 and rarely use the video on the W3 as it is only 24 frames/sec and the video is awful if you move the camera. The 3D1 isn't much better. If you want good 3D video you need one of the Sony TD10, 20 or 30 models.
