Which is the best AVAILABLE! 3D monitor on the market now?
OBS! I want a computer monitor, not a HDTV or a Projector...

I'm in the same boat as you but I don't want to buy a 22in monitor. There are only a few (not even a handful) of 23in monitors out yet and none of them are good enough in my eyes. The only thing to do is wait.. wait for the 24+ 3D monitors to come out hopefully throughout the summer and pick one of those up.

The Acer GD245HQ screen is really awesome, i havnt used it in 3D mode yet, but in plain "2D" mode, it's still the best screen i've ever seen.

The screen is quite bright, when i play in plain "2D" mode i have the brightness adjusted at 20% and contrast at 30%, else i will get headeche from playing.
But when im getting my Nvidia 3D kit, i will proberly turn it to 100%, or increase it from 20% by 10%, step by step, and see when its bright enough.

About the ghosting, Bloody has made a guide on how you can adjust your screen's colours, and it will reduce ghosting alot, if there is too much ghosting.
As far as ive heard, the Alienware screen has alot ghosting.

"Acer isnt a good brand anyway..."
Zero123, if u select screens, or other hardware like that, you might miss a good and/or cheap product.

If you want to buy a screen now, i would recommend the Acer GD245HQ

Where can you buy the GD245HQ if you're in US/Canada ?

P.S. With the scarcity of these new monitors, even once they are released, it would be helpful if we had more posts/forums about where to buy the stuff we're all raving about and drooling over

In US/Canada the monitor is with a different name - Acer GD235HZ, but the hardware is the same...

I purchased the Acer GD245HQ, because it's not worth spending 600 on the alienware.

Those 3D monitors is not exactly dogcheap here in europe...

I found one on Ebay for 250 USD. More than 100 off the lowest retail price.
