Did you know you can watch movie’s in 3D on those old CRT(Cathode Ray Tube) monitors? Yes, it is possible. All you need is a pair of 3d shutter glasses and a computer with 3D DVD playing capability.

You can now purchase video cards and accessories for experiencing the “3D” effect better. EVGA Corporation, a company specializing in video graphics hardware, offers stereoscopic 3d hardware to give you that 3D effect.

3D Vision Goggles

As time goes on, more and more companies will begin to advance in the development of both CRT and LCD 3D technology. Right now it is limited due to the polarized process that the movie goes through.

Now, we know a computer with 3D DVD playing capabilities may not be main stream right now, but it is certainly on the horizon. We can’t expect that this hardware alone will mimic an Imax 3D movie in theaters. But, its worth NOT throwing away old CRT’s to get an inexpensive 3D experience at home.

Re: Don’t throw away your CRT Monitor!

I bet I have some of those in the attic still. Might be interesting to play around with. Thanks, Aaron!

Re: Don’t throw away your CRT Monitor!

I tossed my CRT monitors long time ago. I'm currious have you ever tried those glasses and how is the quality of the 3D?

EDIT: For those who are still not sure what a CRT monitor is its the big box ones:

Re: Don’t throw away your CRT Monitor!

I have four CRT monitors chilling in storage and my bedroom. I'm gonna sell them to 3D maniacs for mega scrilla. I'm rich b!tch. No really, I have four of them, who's buying?

Re: Don’t throw away your CRT Monitor!

Heh I have a couple in my basement as well. I guess I can sell them at a garage sale and pitch them as "3D ready"

I know you can also do it on lcd monitors that have a high enough refresh rate. Didn't know you could on an old CRT though.
