Where to find Zalman or other passive monitors?

[Rudi Herbert]

Gentlemen,

I'm in need of a Zalman monitor, or any other alternative that works with polarized glasses, NOT active shutter stuff, but can't find them in any of the usual suspects here in the USA. Any suggestions?

EDIT: go with jonnycom's recommend instead of mine :)

place I've never heard of before has the Zalman on sale for under $300:

Aren't the IZ3D monitors also polarized?
MacMall has it:

Fry's has the Zalman...... make sure you get the latest true HD one...... the old one can not do 1920 rez...... They kinda work. Get the new Hyundi 24" one if you can.

[Rudi Herbert]

Thanks guys,

I went ahead and got the IZ3D, since I'm in a bit of a rush. I wanted to get the Hyundai but it seems to be out of stock everywhere I looked. Let's hope the IZ3D is as good as the Zalman...

At the risk of shameless self advertising, you can call me at Inition. We are independent resellers of all 3D monitors as well as 3D rig sales and hires.

I got 3 Zalman 30" from them direct,
1 full res, very narrow viewing angle, say 10 degrees
the others at lower res and below than 1920 x1080, however have a better viewing angle, say 20 - 30 degrees

Perhaps write to Zlaman direct

One note on the Zalman is the viewing angle is pretty bad. Just an FYI.

[Jeff Kilgroe]

The viewing angles are pretty bad on most all passively-polarized LCDs. Even on the $8K JVC 46" monitor. Personally, I can't stand the interlacing and I had to be at least 25ft away from the 46" panels at NAB to not see it. I saw the newest Zalman 24" 1080p there and a few others that all seem to be using the same TN 3D 23.5" panel. Acer has a model that uses the same panel and it has more inputs than the Zalman, but I don't know much about it. Amazon has it in stock for about $360, but that's all I know...

Fry's or NewEgg seem to be the best bet for getting one of the Zalman screens. But neither show them in stock on their web sites. I don't know if the 24" panels have really entered the retail channels just yet.

We're quite big fans of the LG-LE950 46" passive polarised screens here. We sell them for £2.5k, which is way cheaper than the JVC 47" (£6.5k). The LG's are slightly less sharp than the JVCs, but in my opinion represent colours more accurately.

Hey guys, what's the advantage of passive over active stereo tech? I mean, with active glasses you can use a $100 kit to make any screen that does over 120hz a 60p 3d monitor.

Am I missing something here?
