Do I need a 3D Monitor or can I just buy Emitter?

[Victel]

I read a lot of different answers, some said you need a 3D Monitor and others said you just need a screen that has a high refresh rate and an emitter. http://www.nvidia.com/object/product-geforce-3d-vision2-wireless-glasses-us.html

Would my monitor be able to handle 3D and would it be ideal? Do I really need the Light Boost Technology? Thanks a lot.

Here's my monitor:

Thanks a lot

If you buy the kit with the emitter:

It should work with any monitor.

THere were monitors with the emitter built in, but I don't think they are made any more.

I haven't been able to confirm it but I heard you need two video slots of the same type for the monitor. Is this true and if so, could I use a VGA and a Display Port slot? What about Light Boost Technology and motion blur? Will this be a problem?

Thats not true all you need is a USB port for the emitter.

Its a active shutter 3d glass that requires a 120hz+ monitor to work, which means when its running your effective refresh rate will be 60 hz, this may elicit some motion blur.

I have no idea what lightboost is.

Just keep in mind this is basically older 3d tech, that while yes it works, IMO is pretty gimmicky and does have its drawbacks. Some people love it anyway, some don't.
