Hyundai's W220S LCD: Google Earth, now in 3D!

Bust out the Aqua Net and tease-up your beehive because 3D is once again the rage. Hyundai just announced its W220S TriDef 3D LCD which packs the standard list of specs we expected in a 22-inch monitor: 1,680 x 1,050 WSXGA+ resolution, 1,000:1 contrast ratio, 300cd/m2 brightness and 5-ms response. Unfortunately the viewing angle is a mere 150-degrees up/down or 160-degrees side-to-side. Should you be bold enough to step into a pair of included polarized glasses then you'll also be treated to a suite of bundled 3D-apps including Google Earth 3D, a pair of 3D games, and TriDef media player for 3D video content. The W220S launches in Japan tomorrow for ¥98,000 (about $913). Pics of the face-specs after the break.

1,680 x 1050*

[Byrdman @ Jun 12th 2008 2:35AM]

yeah i was gonna say that seems pretty low (and odd) for a 22 inch monitor

[Hooterman @ Jun 12th 2008 9:49AM]

There's tons of of 22" monitors that are 1680x1050. I'm using two of them right now at work.

Because you didn't get enough low ranks on the previous post?

Epic Fail!

[King Mook Mook @ Jun 12th 2008 4:51AM]

Where did the post I replied to go?

[bhuh @ Jun 12th 2008 2:42AM]

I'm really confused here. I thought they made cars?? Since when did they make LCDs?

What will really confuse you is when you find out they also make super tankers. Well I guess you just found out. It is also a top semiconductor producer. Oh, and dont forget the Korean department store owned and operated by Hyundai. Confused enough yet?

It's little less diverse than Honda

CAn I Borrow $913?

[Christy McGrory @ Jun 12th 2008 2:55AM]

Er, this would be ace if it worked in tri screen, with Crysis.

[dotdd @ Jun 12th 2008 3:15AM]

Does it auto convert my porn to 3D?

[Emilio @ Jun 12th 2008 7:32AM]

hahahahha, it made my day :-)

As if you didnt fail enough last time... you had to go ahead and waste .8 seconds of my life. Again. And again.

[bolezhinkov @ Jun 12th 2008 4:18PM]

1st!

[neofolklore @ Jun 12th 2008 7:38AM]

Does anyone else see a broken screen?

[Namarrgon @ Jun 12th 2008 8:38AM]

Lifelike, isn't it?

[sdwells @ Jun 12th 2008 10:37AM]

yup, that screen reflection/shadow/whatever it is is unacceptably gross looking

[cybereality @ Jun 12th 2008 3:28PM]

Wow, that monitor looks sick! A little price, but boy is it sexy. I want.

And yes, its compatible with Crysis. That game looks *AMAZING* in real 3d.

[GB570 @ Jun 14th 2008 1:26PM]

Too funny.

[GB570 @ Jun 14th 2008 1:28PM]

That sure took long enough to show up....
