Rafal, Actually, things only really started to change last month...
Please see http://pymol.org and scroll down most of the way to the February 13th entry regarding the $600 Zalman ZM-M220W stereo-capable LCD. In my opinion, that is the best option on the market until the "powers that be" start supporting 120 Hz LCDs with OpenGL drivers -- which could be days or months, but hopefully not years. Once that happens, 120 Hz LCDs will likely become the preferred option. I don't know whether O, Coot, or CCP4 support this monitor yet, but they really should if they do not! (It only takes a couple dozen lines of code beyond standard QBS stereo -- developers please see the code I've posted at http://pymol.org/zalman/howto.html ) Cheers, Warren > -----Original Message----- > From: CCP4 bulletin board [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of > Rafal Dolot > Sent: Friday, March 20, 2009 4:17 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [ccp4bb] Question about stereo on LCD monitor > > Dear CCP4BB users, > > After one long year I'm back to crystallography again :) Actually I try to > organize a crystallographic lab in new work place.
