3D movies that have been released on home video are Anaglyph 3D
The current crop of 3D movies in the theatre are “polarized” 3D. These have an analog picture that is projected through a special lens that sends two separate images to the screen. When wearing polarized lenses, each eye will see a different picture and create the 3D effect.
There is also an LCD shutter form of 3D, mostly in the form of cheap Chinese glasses that actually hook up by wire to old analog TVs and come bundled with older 3D movies (It Came From Outer Space, House of Wax, etc). With some tweaking you can get this to work on older CRT monitors, but there is very little content available for this format and it will not work on LCD monitors.
These 3D LCD monitors can all be used with polarized 3D glasses to produce true 3D effects.
1)IZ3D H220z1: IZ3D does have, by far, the best drivers and playing games on this monitor can be pretty amazing.
2)Hyundai W220S
3)Zalman ZM-M220W
4)Nvidia 3D Vision Bundle with 22″ Samsung Monitor
In order for a computer based video game to be played in true 3D requires not only a very specialized 3D monitor but also that the game itself be programmed to make use of that technology.
Acer Reveals 3D Laptop
The device doesn’t use hardware-based 3D acceleration like Nvidia’s 3D
Vision GPU, but rather relies on a software solution called Acer 3D
CineReal and the TriDef suite. However the software works in
conjunction with a special 3D coating on the laptop’s screen and a pair of polarized glasses
Priced at around £950 the laptop will come with home theatre features

October 21, 2011A lot of newer video cards support 3D tech. I just watched a 3d movie on my pc using the polarized 3D glasses and it worked fine showing all detail in its respective stereoscopic view. I do not know why people keep telling people you can not view the movies on pc in 3D. the film is shot in 3D and not projected in 3d. The cameras they film is are specially designed to shoot in 3D.

February 29, 2012The ps3 just did an update that makes it 3d compatible. Just need the 3d tv.

February 17, 2011I doubt that they will be cheaper since the involved technologies. You have to move to the market ask some questions to find the right deal. My guess is to sell your laptop and to buy a better one.

May 15, 2011YES YOU CAN WATCH 3D videos on your regular pc monitor
you’ll have to just download a 3d videos converter (i suggest you to use Axara 2D to 3D Converter)
then next step is to create own 3d glasses(“How to create your own 3d glasses” google it) or you have to buy a new 1 …..
then after that you have to convert a video using your downloaded 3d converter and then put on your glasses and enjoy buddy …………..
NOTE :-
THIS IS ONLY FOR VIDEOS AND MOVIES NOT FOR THE GAMES
thanxxxxxxxxx so much bro

Pip-h
May 30, 2011i have a simple monitor and watching all video with 3d player or convert them . u can body . those said u cant and u have to buy…or using a new 3d hardware just publication for thier product
Did anyone notice that the OP as,Ed specifically about POLOARIZED videos? He asked if he could watch polarized videos on his regular pc monitor. He didn’t ask about anaglyph 3d. Yes you can watch anaglyph on anything with a screen that will play it. Polarized 3d TVs have a specific lens that projects two images. You need a polarized display to watch polarized videos.

August 3, 2011the simple way is to use powerdvd 11 which converts 2d videos into 3d and u can watch 3d video wearing 3d glassess ….is easy….
Hello4448
August 12, 2011Yah IT’s 10% True, Use Power DVD 11 Which hav “3d Enabled” Option.
But U have 2 use nvidia 3d vision tech Graphics Card & Active 3d Glass.
OK

August 22, 2011what type of glasses do you need to watch side-by-side 3d video on computer screen?
wait
September 12, 2011ok, maybe I’m not understanding this correctly, but couldn’t a 120HZ monitor display 2 images in alternating screens each at 60hz? That’s exactly how the CRT monitors did it, and you could use the stupid cheap plastic glasses to do it. I know this because I OWN A GAME FROM THE 90s that did 3D on my computer CRT, you could watch a trex come at you in 3d with cheap glasses.
I think that if they really tried they could get 120hz monitors to display 3D, but they’d rather sell us new tvs. Id pay like 100$ for a conversion kit for the LCD I own, but I’m not gonna junk a 40 inch, 120Hz, 1080p monitor for what is essentialyl a gimmic
i played stracraft in 3d on a 21″ crt many years ago. the glasses had the active flickering like the ones today and it only cost me $30 bucks for them.
January 5, 2012If there is support for such “third party” 3D technology either within the game or via some software of course it is possible.
As far as NVIDIA 3D Vision and AMD HD3D goes they require specific hardware and/or software.

Your monitor is already 3D.. Any 120Hz monitor is 3D Vision ready. All 3D Vision needs is a 120Hz LCD, which is why their more pricey. Most LCD’s are just 60Hz, I’ve yet to see one in your everyday computer store thats 120Hz. All you need now is the Kit and a 3D Ready GPU. Your all set.

December 1, 2011What type of 3D content can I watch on an LCD laptop screen? In a FS Amilo Xi3650 especially. My GPU is Nvidia 9600GT and supports 3D vision. I bought a pair of cheap LGsomething 3D polarized glasses. Could it work???
NVIDIA 3D Vision requires the original polarized glasses from NVIDIA. It won’t work with “some” LG glasses. Also your laptops display needs to support 3D and has to be set to 120Hz refresh rate.
You can find a list of supported Games and Apps at this page.
To watch Blue-ray 3D on your laptop you also need an software player that supports 3D e.g. CyberLink PowerDVD 11.

May 11, 2012Hello Thiru, it is very possible to watch 3d videos in a computer nowadays. There are several video cards that support this kind of feature already such as Nvidia, MSI and ASUS to name a few. You can check if your monitor is supported by these 3D video cards in this site:
http://darktips.com/how-to-watch-3d-movies-on-your-computer/
You’ll also find a step-by-step guide on how to install 3D in your computer as well as the minimum system requirements in order to make this feature running.
Thank you very much.
