=== [http://www.iiyama.co.jp/article/img/manual/crt/00011995_HM204D-j.pdf Iiyama HM204DT] ===
This is a 22inch (20inch viewable) monitor which can be configured at ''1280x1024'' at ''120 Hz''

=== [http://www.viewsonic.com/ ViewSonic] ===
* A90: cheap low end 19".  Good investment
* G220fb: nicer 21" monitor.  Also good, supports much higher refresh rates than the A90.
* G225f: Seems to be ViewSonic's latest offering (6/06).
* P95f+: Still available and very affordable 19" monitor. Will handle quad-buffered stereo at 50 Hz. Superseded by the G-series.

=== [http://www.samsung.com/ Samsung] ===
* Samsung SyncMaster 191T+ (Digital Flat Panel) -- very nice

* FP2141SB-BK (A high-refresh display for stereo 3D graphics) -- What Warren uses (at ''1440x1050'').

=== Nvidia Cards ===
NVidia release proprietary drivers for its cards.  Linux drivers for 32-bit and 64-bit can be downloaded from their site.

'''Troubleshooting:''' There have been reports of stereo issues with certain high-end NVidia card.  Most notably, the stereo image is being inverted.  The suggested fix is switching to a newer card or video drivers.  It is suggested to use the NVidia drivers, not the ones provided by third party companies.  See the [http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=85807 NVidia Forums].

This is a very fast and stable graphics card. It has an AGP 8X interface.

====[http://www.pny.com/products/quadro/xgl/980Xgl.asp Quadro 980 XGL]====
Still available. Affordable AGP 8X stereo graphics card. Use the legacy Linux drivers (96xx series) from Nvidia. About 10,000 fps in glxgears at 1280x1024.

====[http://www.nvidia.com/ NVidia] ==== 
While not Quadro cards, these are still very good, cheaper alternatives.
* GeForce 5600 XTQ -- nice low end card (4000-5000 FPS in glxgears 1600x1200 dual)
* GeForce 5950 Ultra -- nice mid level card (~9000 FPS in glxgears 1600x1200 dual)
* GeForce 6800 Ultra -- nice high end card (>14,000 FPS in glxgears 1600x1200 dual)

== LCD Glasses and Emitters ==
=== [http://www.nuvision3d.com/the60gx.html Nuvision 60GX] ===
These glasses can handle a very high refresh rate (at least ''120 Hz'')

== Hardware combinations that work ==

=== NVIDIA Quadro FX 1100 graphics card + Iiyama HM204DT monitor + Nuvision 60GX glasses ===

This combination provides a very pleasant 3D experience which won't fatigue your eyes.

=== NVIDIA Quadro FX 1100 graphics card + ViewSonic G225 monitor + Nuvision 60GX glasses + OS X Dual G5 ===

Pushed refresh to 119.9 Hz. I tried several different resolutions starting from the max and worked my way down before it gave me the ~120 Hz refresh. This setup was plug and play stereo: new Dual G5 (6/06), the awesome Quadro FX 4500, and NuVision 60GX Emitter/Glasses Combo. Very choice if you have the means--this the sweetest graphics machine I've ever sat in front of (including SGI Onyx).

=== NVidia Quadro 980 XGL + Viewsonic P95f+ monitor + Nuvision 60 GX glasses ===

Runs beautifully in Fedora Core 6 with the legacy NVidia drivers (96xx series) on a Dell 4600 Pentium-4 workstation. Very inexpensive stereographics option. Will sync at 100 Hz (50 fps stereo) without any special configuration in xorg.conf.
