3D Vision Ready monitors at 600 fps slow motion

This video shows the inherent flaws in monitors currently rated as 3D vision ready by nVidia. The monitors spend most of the transition time scanning from top to bottom between each frame, which causes significant ghosts at the top and the bottom of the screen, since the shutters for an eye opens and catches the bottom of the previous frame and the top of the next frame leaking in. At 600 fps you can see this behavior clearly and it quite obviously shows why ghosting is simply an inherent issue with these monitors ... the fully transitioned version of each frame is barely even arrived at before the monitor has to start switching back.

It appears DLP TV's and projects do not have this problem right now.

where is the original version of this vid in high resulution? Once upon a time i found it somewhre in the net, but now it's gone...

@marksman83de This was never in high resolution. The slow mo feature is very low res on this camera.

@rkuo : ok, thanks for the reply! Maybe I remebered that wrong...too bad, this vid would be the best resource to show people why not to by a LCD-3D-TV. So many people around me made this mistake an now they have these unuseable LCD-Ghosters...Time to call the Ghost-Busters ;)

slow motion in one lense with a crappy camera, no wonder it didnt work.... is that game meant for 3d?

I may be off, but I think the reason for not having all the pixels update at the same time might have to do with power consumption ratings.

acer h5360 ftw

Nah, I'm talking about how they are fired in a sequential pattern, in scanlines from top to bottom, just like a CRT. Since there's no scanning beam there really is no need to have the pixels update in this manner, if they could all be programmed with their new colour simultaneously they would perform much better for 3D.

@fish998765432

there is a delay between the charge reaching the liquid crystals and them changing their polarization.

NVM, didn't watch enough.

Do you know if the next generation 3d ready monitors (from Acer and Alienware) are any better?
