    Is anyone running 3D with an external monitor efficiently?

    Hey all, i've recently ordered an LG monitor and realised it does in fact come 3D Ready, I'm thinking about buying the nvidia vision glasses to go with it, my graphics card is compatable, but i realise the alienware m11x may not have a hdmi 1.4 output, if this is correct, has anyone successfully used a DisplayPort to DVI Dual link adaptor, and if so can you tell me which one you brought, also any other input you guys want to make, please feel free to do so. Thanks!

    I got my monitor delivered today. Its an acer GN245HQ. It connects alright to my m11x with hdmi but I cannot get it to work at120Hz.

    Games play 3d at 1920x1080,24Hz or 1280x720,60hz. Overall I can say it is satisfying so far, but not perfect.
