Hi Gregor, I think this LCD monitor is not useful since the refresh rate is only 75 Hz, thus in stereo 2 x 37.5 Hz and that is going to give a big headache.
I know Samsung is working on a 100 Hz LCD-TV. Nevertheless, the goal is not for stereo but to suppress the afterglow effects again. They tried to insert a black picture in between the normal ones but this had too many unwanted side-effects. Currently, they are working on an additional graphics chip incorporated into the screen that calculates an intermediate picture between two pictures so the changes are more gradual and they claim this provides a very nice movie quality.... Too bad again, this technology is also not what we are looking for! It would actually destroy the stereo effect! CRTs are still the best and the cheapest solution for now. Jeroen.
