Product Reviews
- “We saw Painkiller running and the effect was certainly more immersive. Large objects and architecture benefit the most with walls looming towards you, but strafing around objects or enemies produced a strong sensation of 3D. Even little details like the HUD are improved, by being placed clearly in front of the rest of the action.”
- “With polarising 3D glasses adorned and a copy of World of Warcraft on our screen, we were able to experience the thrills and spills of blue horned beasties coming at us seemingly through the screen itself!”
- “Stereoscopic videos looked amazing. I resisted the temptation to try and touch the dragon fish in the coral reef or scream as the steam train thundered towards me. But only just!”
- “Actually rather fantastic. You can see proper 3D effects coming out of the monitor - it really does work. I was astonished! There's an incredible depth to it: quite gripping. Easy on the eye - no flicker - a lot nicer than 3D images I've seen in the past. It does have that wow factor.”
- “3D games are a liberating experience - we still haven't tired of seeing laser bolts fly towards our eyes, and we were genuinely surprised by just how good the whole effect is in the most suitable games. A 3D monitor that actually works.”
- “Since Sir Charles Wheatstone invented three-dimensional imagery in 1840, it's a concept that has fascinated and enthralled. However, 3D has never quite managed rocked our worlds in any meaningful way... until now. The new Zalman ZM-M220W 3D display is startlingly impressive and very addictive, so if you get one prepare to divest of at least half of your social life.”
- “...everyone who tried it in our tests was impressed, jumping out of the chair when the first test logo came towards them.”
- Stuff.tv - “In a nutshell, the TRIMON wins our Editors Choice award because of its wonderful innovative vision (I had to say it) and the effect it will have as it pushes the gaming and entertainment experience we have on our PCs to the next level.”

Windows XP Driver
The current Windows XP nVidia stereoscopic driver is version 91.31 and this can be downloaded from the nVidia website. It is compatible with all GeForce graphics cards with the exception of the 8800 and 9000 series. It is not expected that nVidia will provide any future updates to their Windows XP stereoscopic driver because all development work is now focussed on Windows Vista.
Windows Vista Driver
NVIDIA have now released a new driver that supports all their graphics cards including the 8000 and 9000 series, but it will work only on Windows Vista (not Windows XP). This driver is compatible with Windows Vista 32-bit only, and will work on all GeForce cards 6 series or higher configured in single or SLI mode. So if you want to play Crysis or even Call of Duty 4 in glorious 3D then you will need the drivers - More information can be found on NVIDIA's 3D Stereo website! On this web page you will find all the drivers you need including a list of compatible games.
