P3D VR Monitors

[John Toeppen <toeppen@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I said that I loved my Iiama Vision Masters...........
Iiama Vision Masters are monitors suitable for high refresh rates -
117Htz is the refresh for my 17".  My 21" at work is currently not doing
the full 120Htz that it is rated for using my Canopus Total 3D 12meg
card (8 for texture mapping)- but it is new and have not run it with
glasses.  I have got standard Dells to run at 114Htz with VRex gear. 
Check out the monitor data at.

Panasonic is said to have fast "TVs"which are SVGA
Tom, I am suprised that you do not consider the losses in scanning as
being "lossey."  This is more than a software term, it is related to the
modulation transfer function of the image process.  Generally, one can
regard any process as a chain of events, each of which can be the
limiting factor in the final outcome.  You probably already know how
this function describes the ability of the imaging system to convey
different frequencies at different levels of contrast.  Obviously both
grain size and aliasing issues are not directly equatable as "loss"
mechanisms, while both are bandwidth limiters. 
The monitor is usually the choke followed by the processor, then the
scanner.  You almost always want a 4000 line plus scan if your output is
Polaroid color ink jet prints. For shuttered glasses a 1200 line scan
allows cropping to CRT screen format at 864lines.
