You could check the nVidia page of officially supported displays. It
includes a search tab so you can check for "Built-in Emitter."

Performing that search brings up 5 contenders. 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.

I went through the specs for the monitors on the Heise list, and none of
them seems to have a built in emitter compatible with Nvidia 3D Vision
2. It looks like it is a bad time to buy a 3D monitor. At this point it
might be easier to just go for a Quadro with 3-pin connector.

Thank you for assembling all that information about NVidia 3D vision 2
on Linux.
Is there a good list somewhere with monitors that have a built-in
emitter and are confirmed to work under Linux?
I looked at the list at
http://www.heise.de/preisvergleich/?cat=monlcd19wide&xf=5848_3D-f%E4hig+%28aktiv%29#xf_top
and it seems that a lot of manufacturers are marketing their monitors
as 3D Vision2 ready or 3D capable just because they support running at
120 Hz, even if they don't have a built-in emitter.

Sorry to come late into the discussion, and just to mention: it would
be wrong if readers of CCP4BB get the impression that "Quadro cards
that support quad buffered stereo" have to be high-end. To the
contrary, an entry-class Quadro K620 together with a €250 Nvidia 3D
Vision 2 compatible monitor (with built-in emitter) gives you very
nice stereo on Linux. There is more info at
http://strucbio.biologie.uni-konstanz.de/ccp4wiki/index.php/Stereo#Nvidia_3D_Vision_2
.
To have higher resolution than 1920x1080 you may need some
combination of higher-end monitor and (separate) emitter, and that
would indeed require a 3-pin DIN connector and an expensive Quadro
card. Also, an expensive Quadro is of course faster - but entry cards
are, in contrast to popular belief, fast enough for crystallographic
electron density + model inspection and modelling.
In summary, the computer gamers have been supporting us
crystallographers to the point that Stereo is quite affordable.

Colleagues,
I’d like to thank everyone who took time to answer my question
regarding Quadro cards that support quad buffered stereo. I now hope
to build a workstation with >Quadro 5000.
