I find it difficult to believe that if this thing were so good, only 51% of the buyers who wrote a review at NewEgg.com gave it a 5 out of 5 Egg rating.
Thank you for the disclaimer stating that these reviews express the opinion of only the author, as this "review" appears to be an advertisement for NewEgg.com.
3D technology has not evolved far enough yet. Also, from the people I know personally and those in the various Forums I frequent, they're really not interested in it. They, myself included, think that this is a fad that is being directed at our children by companies such as Nvidia and the gaming industry. You can tell by the limited amount of 3D movies that Hollywood is also not very interested in this technology.
What is the time frame of 3D fads? 5 to 10 years between attempts to coerce people into thinking it's worthwhile?

I think you confuse newegg.com reviews with actual product reviews. Also, even though "only" 51% of newegg reviews give it 5/5, another 16% give it 4/5, leaving more than a third of the people who bought it giving it an 80% or higher rating. Newegg (and other e-tailer) reviews tend to get marks off for shipping times, rebate troubles, etc. so, they tend to be skewed. Marking off an egg because it took an extra 3 days to ship is not a reflection on the product.

Also, I don't think a 24" 3D Computer monitor is marketed towards serious 3D Movie/TV watchers, so speaking of the lack of Hollywood titles in 3D misses the point. I wouldn't purchase this to sit at my desk and watch Avatar, I would buy it to play 3D Arkham City or similar. The reviewer states that there are over 500 titles optimized for Nvidia 3D gaming, so the market is there.

3D may seem a fad, but games and movies continue to be released and re-released in 3D, so it is a fad that the industry is trying to secure. I don't think it will disappear at this point.

3D is something where you either like it, or you don't. ASUS makes great products, and it looks like they made another one. If I had a spare $700, I would consider getting one.

I own two ASUS 27" monitors and they're pretty good, but they ARE a budget 27" LCD monitor. Both were around the $300-$350 Canadian area. (VK278Q and MT276HT). I love 'em both but they're not perfect.
Too bad this is an nVidia only kit. I was thinking about this model a little as a 3rd monitor on my system but I'll have to look for something else now since I'm using 2 x HD6970.
Gotta watch those specs. Most monitor companies are guilty of fudging them, and I doubt ASUS is any different in that respect.

Pay special attention to the discussion on contrast ratio, pixel response and pixel smearing.

A buddy and I both won this monitor kit at the Nvidia Lan in October. To power it I had to go out and swap my 5870 for 2 560ti's and I can truly say, it was completely worth it. Like the op states, World of Tanks is one of the games I play quite regularly and it was practically born for 3D Vision. The added depth and detail makes the game come alive. Many other games are great as well like Batman, Mafia, and even strategy games like LoL and SC2 which makes them look a bit less flat.

I have seen a few threads in various places about this monitor having brightness/color issues, and while it may not be anywhere near as accurate as a good professional panel (or even my 6 year old Gateway) with some careful tuning and patience, it can reproduce a pretty good picture.

And outside of gaming, the first thing I did was hook this monitor up to my PS3 for some 3D Pirates of the Caribbean and I can say you will not be disappointed. The added depth is better than theatre quality since it is a full HD Active 3D and not the passive kind that some users can have a little trouble with. It was also extremely easy to setup, just use HDMI, detect the video settings in the PS3 display settings option (you have to chose the 3D options that only show up when hooked up to a 3D display) and your off. Also the PS3 has some great 3D capable games like Gran Turismo 5, Wipeout HD, and Super Stardust HD.

Also on top of it all, being a 120Hz monitor has also opened my eyes to 120FPS smooth play, my old 60Hz monitor never produced such a smooth image and it can be seen from the windows desktop all the way into games like TF2 and other fast shooters. The lack of tearing really is a beautiful thing to behold. The same thing that is said about 3D TV's can be said about 3D monitors. Usually if they are good at 3D, they are really good at 2D.

Though this is an expensive entry into the land of 3D, now after using it I would have paid for mine and even may pick 2 more up in the coming month after I build a new rig.

i know that that asus vg278h does not have tv tuner built in it but can you install a tv tuner on it to use it to watch tv shows?

Does anyone knows how to play 3D movies from a torrent file on ASUS VG278H.I've try everything,but still nothig happend.The games look fine on 3D,but no movies could be played with any player that i've got(cyberlink,bsplay er,the standart player that it comes monitor)

I bought 3 of these just so i could pay BF3 in 3D surround (3 monitors working as one in 3D) It wasn't that great, maybe because they are too big and the resolution is only 1900x1080 and should be almost 2x that for a anyting over 24". Even at 24" the resolution should be 1900x1200 not 1080 (lower res.)

The 3D was good but outside of 3d the big screen and extremely low resoluttion and low amount of 3D games gave me a bit of buyers remorse. 3x 27" 2500x1600 2D monitors would have been a better deal I think since I have only used the 3D a few time out of 2 months.

It is a good buy and I am the envy of my friends but it is not as great as I thought ($1500 dollars for only good when you are expecting "holy Batman that GREAT") 3d games (BF3 just isn't that good yet I guess)

The nVidia 3D calibration screen is AMAZING as the object actually comes out of the screen. It looks like you can touch it. No movie or games has even came close to that. So when games become like that, that will be the time to invest into 3D. For now just wait. Save your money for better resolution. FULL HD 1080 is lower(a lot lower) than 1900x1200.
