How find out whether a monitor is 3D ready or not?

Q. Also i would like to know if i have graphics hardware and the required driver to support 3D but the LCD monitor is not 3D ready, then can i still view 3D pics and play 3D games? i have geforce 9800gt, 4gb ddr3 ram, 750 gb hard drive cap and i would even like to know a web source where i can compare price for computer accessories in Indian currency. Thank you.

A. If the 3D pictures/games require the use of the old style 3D glasses with the colored type lenses, then Yes, you can use your current hardware. But if you're referring to the new 3D technology designed monitors/TVs, then No, you would need the actual hardware designed for that capability.

What is the difference in LCD monitors?

Q. I am planning to buy a new monitor for a new PC, and I wasn't sure what kind to get. I do web design on it and I watch a lot of movies. I also do photo editing and digital drawing. I want something with nice sharp picture, but I wasn't sure what all the numbers mean on the listings. I have been looking at Tigerdirect. Could someone explain the differences and what all the little numbers mean for each?

23" 1366x768 / 720p Native / 8ms / 700:1 Contrast Ratio / HDMI / ATSC Tuner / HD LCD TV

Samsung SyncMaster 216BW 21.6" Widescreen LCD Monitor - 5ms, 1000:1(DC 3000:1), WSXGA+ 1680x1050, Gloss Black, DVI-D, D-sub, 300 cd/m2

The 1000:1 thing and the 720p are what I dont understand at all. Please impart your knowledge upon me.
I know one listing is a monitor and one is a tv, but assuming they will both work with my computer, what do you think.

A. The number 720 stands for 720 lines of vertical display resolution, while the letter p stands for progressive scan or non-interlaced.

1000:1 is a contrast ratio this explains it:
The contrast ratio is a measure of a display system, defined as the ratio of the luminosity of the brightest color to the luminosity of the darkest color that the system is capable of producing

Does a vga to dvi-d converter work well on my computer monitor?

Q. okay so im planning to start playing my xbox 360 on my 23" LCD monitor using the microsoft VGA cable but my monitor only has 1 port for vga and 1 for dvi-d and my comp is already taking up the vga port.
so to save myself the hassle of constantly changing between cables i was wondering if a small cheap converter on ebay will do the trick or will it make the quality look worse.

A. It won't work.

The DVI-I-to-VGA converter is NOT designed to be used that way. It is for connecting a computer DVI-I port capable of also putting out a VGA signal to a VGA monitor.

If you attempt to connect the XBox VGA output to a monitor DVI port using that adapter, you will get no signal.

Why not take the opportunity to upgrade your computer to a better graphics card with a DVI port? (if your computer has either a PCIExpress 16x or AGP slot to accept a graphics card.)

And to the guy above: S-video is worse quality than VGA. S-video is a composite analog video that jumbles all color data into one Chroma signal line. VGA is MUCH clearer because it transmits color data in three separate signal lines (Red, Green and Blue).
