I know I am biased, but I would say you need to keep in mind the resolution
of the system and what you plan to do with it, i.e., do you ever want to
work in 2D on the screen or be able to read text? A lot of autostereo
solutions based on LCDs use lenticular screens or parallax barriers to
present left and right eye views concurrently (this necessarily reduces the
horizontal resolution by half). Most also have a very small sweetspot within
which you must be positioned to see in 3D and do tend to suffer from
Ghosting or double images unless you are not EXACTLY in the right viewing
zone.
Suggest www.stereo3d.com for an overview of what's out there in relation to
LCD solutions and www.iris3d.com for very high resolution (UXGA and above)
professional kit.
The sharp system you mention is based on the parallax barrier approach and
so does enable 2D/3D switching, but does suffer from low horizontal
resolution (half-SXGA from memory) and has stereo-cross talk........but as
said previously, this could be OK if you are looking for a quick review tool
or presentation system - IMHO not a serious worktool for very high end
stereo visualisation.
The PLANAR system gets round the resolution issue by using 2 LCD panels, but
does still use polarising glasses and so will suffer from cross-talk - It
delivers SXGA resolution on a 17" image size.

I saw a demo a coupte of years ago of a nice compact stereo display
which uses 2 LCD monitors and a beam-splitter mirror. It requires only
passive polarizing glasses and worked very nicely for the application they
were targeting at the time (stereo photography). The systme is descibed
in the paper below, and you can ask for prices at the planar.com web page
(haven't done so myself yet)

Folks,
Whether you favor Macintosh, Linux, or Windows for stereo 3D
visualization, you're going to need some specific (and increasingly
rare) hardware.
To help you find it, we've just updated our information page on
stereo-3D-capable displays, cards, emitters, and glasses:
http://pymol.sf.net/stereo3d.html
Remarkably, we can now only find one company selling a brand new CRT
monitor suitable for stereo 3D. If you find any others, please do let
us know!
Cheers,
Warren
