lg reveals world’s first production hd 3d lcd hdtv monitor, mercifully refrains from mentioning price
LG recently announced the “commercial launch” (what does that really mean?) of a 23-in LCD monitor that can display 3D images in full HD resolution. Dammit. I don’t even own a plain 2D HDTV and it’s already becoming obsolete. Daaaaamn youuuu progress!
The monitor is meant to be used with a pair of shutter glasses for 3D viewing, but it can also be switched to display good ol’ 2D. LG boasts that the monitor “offers picture quality that is almost twice as crisp as HD 3D displays currently available in the market.” Considering the fact that barely anyone owns an HD 3D-capable display, I’d say that things are really moving too fast right now. Before this monitor hits the market at prices a normal human being can afford I’m sure LG will have already released a 60″ 4D Ultra HD display that’s powered by the viewer’s attention, with built-in popcorn popper and fridge.

Just to get things right: the Monitor is like any other flat panel. It just is fast enough and has the electronics to display 120 pictures per second (120Hz). There are some other TFT TVs, which have higher frequencied but they just repeat same picture again and are not able to process 120 pictures per second.
There are 3D displays currently available, which use different technologies. The technology with shutter glasses is the one with best picture quality
I am playing all my games in 3D with Nvidias shutter glasses and a Samsung 3D Monitor. It is really a very nice effect when Zombies pop out the screen when playing Left 4 Deat in 3D!
There are already quite a few 3D sets on the market… All of Mitsubishi’s DLP sets are 3D ready. I have one, but I don’t have any 3D content, or an IR emitter to take advantage of it yet.
But now that 3D blu rays will start coming out next year, I’ll be ready!!!
