Interesting that you use a Sony model as these appear to be the
only manufacturer using a 37mm adapter ring, so its pretty much
top of my list at the moment.

I've watched both PAL and NTSC versions of VRex's video via their 
VR Surfer glasses.. cant say that I found the PAL flicker annoying..
.. but having spent my youth on an Amiga in interlace mode, maybe my
eyes have become much more tolerent of flicker ? Both my video players
play NTSC as well as PAL and the TV autosynch latches onto the 60hz 
signal without any problem. Only down side is that they only PLAY in
NTSC so I cant duplicate..

Thanks for the tip I checked it out last night.. I've browsed through this
(Brilliant) site before but hadn't noticed the Nu-View section..

Unfortunatley I dont subscribe to Stereo World.. but I do have a couple of
copies of "Inside 3-D" left on my subscription so I shall look forward (more than
usual) to receiving it :)
