Good luck finding any of >these products still for sale. Unfortunately, this NVidia page has not been updated for years. The qualifier "3D-fähig (aktiv)" at http://www.heise.de/preisvergleich/?cat=monlcd19wide&xf=5848_3D-f%E4hig+(aktiv)#xf_top should indicate a built-in emitter, but I looked at some of the descriptions of these 11 monitors and was unable to confirm that they indeed have a built-in emitter. So one has to research every specific case. I changed the wording on the wiki page.
