At USD 7000 it's not exactly the cheap solution I was looking for...

While we are on the subject, does anyone in general have working in
their labs a stereo-3D solution that does not require CRT monitors
but works on LCD and preferably with Linux or OSX ? (any windows
hints are welcome as well).
Yes indeed. We have a 20" one of these:

on one of our Linux workstations. After the original Acer screens
were swapped for Samsung ones it is excellent. People like it for
the lack of flicker and consequent lack of headaches! It has a wide
angle of view, and several people can see stereo on the same screen
at the same time, and there is no cross-talk between different
displays in the same room.
It needs to be driven by an nVidia FX-series graphics card, with
dual DVI outputs. Other cards with dual outputs can be made to
work, but the nVidia driver can intercept the conventional
quad-buffered screen swapping instructions and divert the two eye
views tot he different displays. Thus most software that is already
stereo-capable will work without modification.
In case this sounds a little too glowing, I should point out that I
have no connection with the suppliers or the manufacturers, except
as a customer!
