SLI also scales much better than Eyefinity at the moment. Nvidia is 9 months late to multimonitor. I am however, disappointed that while ATI has support in their drivers, they themselves and no third party manufacturers are making any 3D hardware for them.

Isn't this comparing apples and oranges? ATI's SLI equivalent is Crossfire, isn't it?
I've just bought an LG 60PK550 Plasma that claims 600Hz compatibility. I'm sure this isn't really 600Hz, probably frame doubling or interpolating but it would be nice to see what 3D looks like on this.
I still have to take up SebC on his 3DVision offer one day, maybe when he fixes his videocard.
I have a 5870 which is much more powerful, but again, I'm disappointed that ATI has no 3D hardware in the works even though driver support exists for them. I'm still waiting to come across some dirt cheap 1680x1050 22" monitors for use in an Eyefinity setup. I don't think I could run 3x1920x1080 with a single 5870 1GB.

Don't worry about the videocard... it's not under warranty so I'm gonna leave it alone until it dies, then upgrade to a 1 GB card. It's been a lot better lately though.
Well you know I love my 3D Vision... but if there's no conversation, I'm not gonna talk about it just to talk about it.
Anyone else check out the Sony demo at the Stampede (or in store)? I thought their glasses were horribly uncomfortable. The nVidias are way better.
I've tried a few 3D TV demos at Best Buy but I don't remember if it was Sony or not. The wired ones were more comfortable due to no battery/IR bulges on the ears and more lightweight but I can see how wired glasses would get annoying.

The other advantage to wired is that sunlight doesn't interfere with the sync (stupid IR). My apartment faces East, so no demos in the morning!

I was just reading a little about the LG PK550 yesterday over at AVScience Forum. They had good things to say about it and it sounds like a great TV but I don't think it will display 3D.
Maybe next year I'll go for a smallish 3D TV. By then I should get a feel on whether Bell TV will be broadcasting any 3D hockey or other sports. I'm not really a movie buff. Will the Nvidia 3D cards be compatable with the 3D TVs?

Yeah... nVidia calls that product 3DTV Play. Basically it's the same as 3D Vision except you're not buying their glasses, so they make you pay for the driver. My DLP and some other TVs are also supported by 3D Vision.
My recommendation to anyone considering a 3D TV is to stay away from the first-party classes... get universal ones from XPand instead. That way you can take 'em to a friends and they'll still work.
