Why do you think sci.logic readers have any interest in polarized
lenses?

All the adverse health effects may put a damper on widespread adoption.

That's basically done : a lot of samsung LCD monitors are already
"stereo compatible" and use this polarization fact. It's not even
advertised.
I'm not sure though what is the pattern of pixels and what polarization
is used (vertical/horizontal, diagonals, circular...).

And to answer Giga2, there are indeed passive 3d monitors. Still
expensive and not very high resolution though.
