24" Powerglide Extreme - 3D ?

[blackwolfplace]

Hi,
I was reading the Hexus review, on the 24" PowerGlide Extreme & noticed the mention of the graphics test using 3DMark 11 & the Powerglide Extreme did quite well.
I didn't realise that this AIO had a 3D screen ? I'm thinking of buying one & have been doing alot of research. I'd probably be going for a GeForce GTX 670 graphics card, which I know is 3D ready. Does the touch screen on the Powerglide support 3D graphics, assuming you have a card like the GTX 670 ?
I thought for a system to be 3D, you needed both a 3D ready graphics card & a 3D screen (120hz) ?
Also, if the Powerglide is a 3D system, do I need to buy a 3D IR kit & 3D glasses to watch in 3D ?
Sorry in advance :-) I've never had a 3D system before, so am unsure of the hardware requirements !!

Thanks

I don't think the screen is compatible with Nvidia 3D vision, the refresh rate is 60 hz.

Hi Rubensolo,
Yeah, thats what I thought.
The screen is a BENQ BNQ8A01 L241ISG, which as you say runs a 60hz
The mention of the 3D tests completed by Hexus promped my question.
Hopefully the guys at PCSpecialist can clarify.

3DMark 11 does not test whether a screen is 3D capable or not. As you suggested I'd wait for an official response from PCS but I still think it is not.

This system is not 3D compatible; as Rubensolo suggested 3DMark 11 does not test whether a screen is 3D capable or not.

Thanks for the clarification !!

You COULD if using an external GPU connect up an external 120hz 3d monitor and use that? its not really an all in one then though!
