Does Nvidia 3D Glasses work on any lcd monitor?

Lookingto get the Nvidia 3D Wired Glasses. I have a Geforce 260 GTX which supports 3D but they also say to have a 3D Monitor as well? Is the monitor a requirement or just a recommendation?

    The monitor is a requirement, the 3D vision glasses create a 3D effect via something called stereoscopic 3D. This technique is achieved by having a sceen that has a refresh rate of 120hertz, the glasses then recieve a signal from the infra-red emmiter and on its command it polarises one of the glasses lens, blocking your eye from being able to see the screen. It then depolarises the lens and polarises the opposite lens. this process is repeated 120 times per second (60 times for each eye.) The alternation of blinding one eye then the other creates the 3D effect in the brain and that is why the 120 hertz screen is needed as each refresh of the screen there is one polarisation of one of the lenses.

    The above makes the screen necessary. look on ebay or similar for 3D vision compatible screens such as the ASUS VG278H, SAMSUNG S23A950D or the Acer HN274HTBMIIID.

    that is hardship-loose to get this wondered so i visit objective to describe this the ultimate i can. digital mail me if it does no longer make adventure. you're confusing what's been said as "3D images" with extremely stereoscopic 3D. 3D images taking area in playing cards and video games are 3D interior the adventure that the images exist in 3 dimensional area "interior" your considered exhibit unit or television. that is not any longer 3D interior the adventure that you position on stereoscopic glasses to exercising recurring the images "come out" of the exhibit. even as video games with "3D images" began popping out, the extremely stereoscopic 3D wasn't mainstream and it replaced right into a lot less complicated to observe the previous time period in spite of the reality that it did now no longer propose precisely an same element. Now that stereoscopic 3DTVs are going mainstream, there is going to numerous confusion about this. What all this suggests is that you'll now no longer output from a 3D images card to a generally occurring 2d television and be conscious it in extremely stereoscopic 3D. To play your computer video games in extremely stereoscopic 3D, you pick a 3D genuine matched computer seen exhibit unit which has 120hz inputs. I also doubt that you'll nvidia's 3D computer activity kit outputed to a 3DTV, yet i should be incorrect about that.
