Oh, right. Not something I'd care about: I don't have stereoscopic
vision in the real world unless I concentrate intensely on it. (Glasses
that could *correct* for severe amblyopia by shifting the scene in one
lens, now that would be interesting. But it's rare enough that I doubt
it will ever happen.))

(And LCD monitors generally find it rather difficult to reach 120Hz:
their refresh rates are often much lower than CRTs.)

Ew. Shoddy. Timeshare, guys!
