You don't mention many other details about your stereo setup, so I will
asssume you have/plan to get a nVidia 3D Vision setup.
If those are the only 3 choices, I would cross off the Samsung. It is a
year older technology, with lower resolution and significant crosstalk.
The ASUS and the Alienware are largely equivalent in resolution, screen
size, and other specs. The clearest difference is that the ASUS has a
glossy screen, rather than the more common anti-glare coating. So if you
plan to use it in a room with other equipment and can't dim the lights,
it may be more prone to annoying reflections. This is one of those
features that some people like and some people hate. I tend toward the
hate side.
If you want to expand your list of choices, here is the nVidia page for
qualified display devices:

There are some new options coming out now like the Acer GN245HQ, which
has A) LED backlighting and B) the stereo IR emitter built into the
monitor. I have not yet seen a clear statement from either nVidia or
Acer about Linux compatibility though.

Pardon the off-topic query, but I would like to get some feedback
about any personal preference for 3D LCD monitors. I am trying to
decide between the following 3 monitors:
*Samsung 2233RZ* 1680 x 1050 2D and 3d Widescreen LCD Monitor
Asus VG236H 23" 2ms 1920x1080 Full HD 120Hz 3D multimedia Height &
Swivel Adjustable WideScreen LCD
Alienware OptX AW2310 23" 3D Full HD Widescreen Monitor
The monitor will display off of a Mac Pro Two Quad-Core Intel Xeon
computer running both Apple and Linux OS.
Any input will be much appreciated.
