I've enjoyed my time spent with my 3DS so far, but after using it I've now noticed that some text on my computer monitor seems to be floating slightly in front of the screen, especially when it is black text on a white background when my brightness is turned all the way up. The effect it subtle, but strange. Is anyone else noticing this?

I don't have a serious answer for this question ('cause I don't have a 3ds) but it makes me wonder if the 3DS comes with a note that says 'THE POWER OF 3D HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE HANDHELD - THE POWER IS IN YOOOOOOOOOU!!!!'

its like after you play guitar hero or rock band for a while....if you stare at the floor or a wall it looks like it's melting.

I'm not noticing any strange 3D text on your computer monitor at the moment, but I'll keep an eye on it while you are asleep. Just to be safe.

Yes, this happens to me also.

Yea this seems to be a new mega power us 3DS owners have. It happens a lot when I go to watch TV too. 
We are the next generation of human. Or are just cross-eyed.

Huh. Sounds like Diplopia. I'd take a break from the 3DS for a while to see if it goes away.

Hmmm... not yet? Then again, I haven't played my 3DS in a longer than 20 minute session, so it probably hasn't kicked in for me yet...

3DS fucked yo perception up, son! 

It's ALL 3D from here on out.

They slipped drugs into your 3DS!

Time to sue Nintendo and get some of that fat Wii cheddar.

Sounds like you've got a form of diplopia. I've had it all my life, but didn't even notice until a few years ago.
 
Go get your eyes checked bro.

3Ds dun fucked up your eyes.  I would sue or contact FOX News.

The adaptation of your eyes getting tuned to the 3D flicker mechanic, could be producing the same effect on other things. It's training your brain to adapt this method to other applications!  
This could actually be a good thing. If they eventually tune the 3D ability into a full 360 degree progression as time goes on.. we might be able to eventually adapt and see through and omit existences of occupied space at will one day!  
Tapping into more of the unused portions of the brain perhaps? :D

I know what your talking about, after playing with the 3DS when I walked down the street everything looked like it was in 3D. It looked so real I felt like I could actually touch people and trees.

After the first day of playing with my 3DS I got the same thing. It lasted for about three days. It felt like sometimes I had a heightened sense of depth, where objects just 40cm or so away from me seemed to pop out from the wall behind. That part I liked, but I definitely wasn't so happy when looking at my monitor, text appeared to be 3D for a second. 
 
I have no idea if this is actually a common symptom associated with 3D use, but just to be on the safe side attempt to throttle the amount of time you spend staring at 3D. If you are playing for an hour straight it wouldn't be a bad idea to turn the 3D off for a few minutes.

This isn't Diplopia, this is simply your eyes re-adjusting to a conventional display. I've found It goes away after a few seconds.

I always thought that Red images/text on displays like the DS and the PSP seemed to stand out from the background and kind of feel 3D. 
 
I think it's just an optical illusion.

Yeah I think that it is some sort of Guitar Hero-like optical illusion, if it was Diplopia I would have probably noticed it before the 3DS. Thanks for the responses though.

" but it makes me wonder if the 3DS comes with a note that says 'THE POWER OF 3D HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE HANDHELD - THE POWER IS IN YOOOOOOOOOU!!!!' "

Heeeeeyyyy, Viinceeemaaastteeerrrr. Aaarrrreee yoooouuuuuu feeeeeelliiiiinnggggg alllriiiiighhttttttt?

It happened to me, but just for split seconds at a time. They're like really nerdy acid flashbacks.
