FYI: I just heard back from nVidia regarding the status of the Quadro =
drivers for the 3D Vision glasses to be used with the Samsung 2233RZ and =
other 120Hz full-field LCD displays (ViewSonic):  Release was originally =
intended by April, but so far it hasn't happened.  In their own words:

"I do not know the exact release date however it should be around the =
same time as when new QuadroFX drivers based on the Release 185 driver =
branch is available in the near future..."

Cheers,
Warren
