3D Gaming Glasses

Well I was surfing the web when I came across this product. A pair of glasses which connects to your graphics card (currently supporting Nvidia, but hopefully some ATI drivers will come out) and your CRT monitor to bring your computer graphics into 3D. check out this site http://www.edimensional.com/3d_glasses.html and if you have a decent connection listen to what 3DGameman has to say here http://www.3dgameman.com/vr/edimensi...deo_review.htm he sounds pretty impressed. I think these would be pretty cool. Anyone else hear about these?

I use the 3-D glasses that come with ASUS Deluxe cards, they work great, I have no idea if these are better or worse but the ones ASUS provides is top notch.

I have some 3d glasses, and let me tell you something - if you get seasick, you do NOT want to get 3d glasses. That, and if your monitor can't handle a MINIMUM of a 120hz refresh rate, don't get them. The reason is, you view the monitor, but each eye gets every other frame, so you essentailly see a 60hz monitor with the glasses on. If your monitor was only at, say, 60hz to begin with, you would be stuck with an eye-wrenching 30hz-looking monitor...

Also, rumor is out that 3d LCD's that don't require glasses are just around the corner. Personally, I'd wait until there was a bit more info pricing wise, and if you have an ATI card, ATI support...
