Hello,
after buying an LG D2342 polarized screen I just wanted to update my
thread. I tested it's passive 3D functionality with Coot and Chimera.
Depending on the respective program passive 3D has different names,
among which one can find:
- Zalman stereo (coot)
- row stereo (chimera)
- row interleaved
- passive stereo
About the graphics card I figured out, that passive stereo is working
with any graphics card. So an integrated Intel HD4000 is working fine.
Sometimes it's a bit lagish but not to big of a deal for me.
The only problem I encountered is that the 3D functionality is not
working nicely in the upper third of the screen. I tried different
viewing angles but that didn't solve the problem. Perhaps I did simply
get a bad model of the screen.
I only tested Linux so far.
Thanks
Jochen

Hello everybody,
I need some input on passive (polarized) 3D displays. I read a lot
about Zalman, but on the pymolwiki I read that those displays are not
supported any longer. But I'd prefer a Fujitsu P23T 3D monitor
anyways. Now I've serveral questions concerning this:
- Will any passive 3D screen work with Coot or only Zalman?
- Is a special graphics card needed for passive screens. I know active
glasses require NVidia Quadro cards.
- Is it possible to make this screen work in 3D with an Intel HD4000
graphics card? I've got HDMI, DVI and Displayport output.
I've an older Quadro FX 1400 graphics card if the HD4000 is not
working, but in my special case the HD4000 would be preferable.
I'm using Linux - as most of you probably do - but OS X is running on
the machine too. So if any of those operating systems supports passive
3D with Intel HD4000 I'd be very happy to hear about this.
Thanks
Jochen
