Christian,

I think it would be great to continue this discussion on CCP4bb, especially as we learn more about all the new stereo-capable display products now hitting the market.
  
It would be even more wonderful if a few volunteers could monitor this discusson and then summarize their distilled knowledge to a community web page specifically geared toward stereo 3D display options for molecular visualization.  Although www.stereo3d.com exists, it is too general, cluttered, and overwhelming...

So in order to make this as painless and likely to succeed as possible, I have just created a Stereo 3D Display Options page on the public PyMOL Wiki, and seeded with some headings and links:

<http://pymolwiki.org/index.php/Stereo_3D_Display_Options>

Note that to edit the page, you will need a PyMOLWiki account which can be obtained via the link below:

Cheers,
Warren
