    I know the monitor doesn't support it, but the HDMI out is capable of outputting 3D signal. Can the 555m do 3D? I understand that if it did 3D at all it wouldn't be very well, but it might be cool to try a game in 3D, even if it is on all the lowest settings.

    Through HDMI-out, sure. Be warned though, the 555m isn't powerful enough to do both 3d and pump out really good fps at ultra settings.

    Have to be through a 3d compatible screen/tv, and you would need to buy nvidia 3d system, but it is feasible
