Best 3D Monitor?

[weegee64]

Hi,

I'm considering buying a 3D monitor on Black Friday, since it would probably be cheaper than getting it at Christmas time. I looked around newegg and Amazon, but I can't decide whether to get the Samsung, ViewSonic, or IZ3D monitor. Anyone have any recommendations on which of these is the best? Also, does running games in 3D take signifigantly more GPU resources than 2D? I don't have a godly video card (just a GTX 260), so I'm worried I might not be able to max stuff like Bioshock or MW2 in 3D.

Yea, I don't intend to use the monitor for the 3D capabilities (I would have to drop $100 on glasses and may or may not like the 3D) as much as the 120Hz (which all 3D monitors have). I have heard that having a 120Hz monitor is amazing, especially if the video card can get all 120 frames. Since I mainly play TF2 and CSS, 120 fps would not be hard to attain with my GTX 260. I would like to have the 3D possibility there though, just in case I decide I want to use it in the future.

I looked at the Samsung monitor, and I think I'll get that one if I can find it on the cheap for Black Friday or Cyber Monday.
