The LG DM2780D is a monitor. As an alternative, you can buy a TV. The new 4K Ultra TVs (socalled 3D LED TVs) of LG, Panasonic and Sony offer polarization. But those may be too large for your office desk (often starting at 42 inch and more). However, only a few TVs can handle a 1080p@120hz stereo signal coming from a computer (but most can handle a HD3D Blu-Ray 3D signal from Playtation or XBOX). So check the manual before purchasing a TV!
