I bought a Monster 3D about four or five weeks ago.  I really wanted
to like it BUT it had the annoying habit of degrading the display.  I
would get these large vertical waves of distortion from the left side
to around the middle of the screen.  This was only visible when
running software that used the 3d chip.  I tried hooking the monitor
straight to the 3d card, changing the bus slot, and moving other cards
but nothing helped.  Guess I got a defective one or something.
Anyway, I took it back.  I might try again with an Orchid card.
GLQuake bothered me anyway.  It seemed slower and the rocketry
lighting was cool but distracting  Ya, that's it.  I didn't like any
of that 3d stuff  ;)
