Hi,

Finally we got everything works!

The blurry issue is caused by the DVI cable. It took me quite a while to 
figure it out. The monitor Asus VG236h need a Dual link DVI cable. 
Unfortunately I was using a Single Link DVI cable when I test stereo 3D 
in ParaView.

Thanks everyone's help.

Cheers,

Gao
