Hi all. I figured I would share this with you guys as something to have some fun with. It's also a nice cheap way to see how 3D is and if it suits you 
Please note - this is only meant for Nvidia owners, as the drivers contain everything you need to run 3D on any old monitor.
So the first thing you're going to need is some of these.

These are official Nvidia glasses that are given out by Nvidia reps when they are demonstrating 3D.
Now. Once you have your glasses all you need to do is open up the Nvidia control panel and enable Anaglyph 3D. To do this follow this guide.

Now. Anaglyph 3D works with any monitor or any TV. You just need to enable it in the Nvidia control panel and set it up. You can use the inbuilt 3D test (the Nvidia logo) to make sure you are kicking..
Now for the right game to make sure the experience is a good one. I don't recommend playing any old game as anaglyph tends to wash out the colours. This isn't an issue with a great game called Limbo which is a fantastic black and white indie game you can get on Steam.

This game translates very well into 3D, and being black and white it won't give you any colour issues..
So that's about it. A nice cheap (pretty much free) way to see if you get on with 3D. The effect of anaglyph is actually very good and just as deep and invovled as passive 3D.
