Most probably anaglyph or LCS. I rather doubt that it
would be polarized because the only way I see this being
able to be accomplished is by a front projection system.

Is your Mitsubishi monitor a composite or computer
type (with separate RGB inputs for example) monitor?
The reason I ask is because you mention that it performs
better than your Sony 27" TV. I'd be very surprised if
that was the case. 

A NTSC television doesn't come close to the performance
of a computer monitor. I have a 27" Sony XBR and even
that has color fringing. What about scan lines, dot pitch,
etc.? These are quite visible with any broadcast NTSC
television sets that I have seen.

There is a host of other inadequencies with broadcast
television that can't even start to compete with the
image fidelity of a computer monitor. Computer monitors
can better reproduce the higher color resolution that
DVD is capable of and is higher than is available in
the NTSC composite video system.

Please let us know your thoughts on the 3D DVD-CD's, if you 
get them!
