Bingo. I may only be missing 120 pixels, but those extra pixels are the main reason I'm in want of a larger monitor.]]>Feb 1st 2010 10:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/acers-gd235hz-23-6-inch-3d-display-is-ready-for-your-glasses-eq/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/acers-gd235hz-23-6-inch-3d-display-is-ready-for-your-glasses-eq/

Would be nice if it had good colour for design work too - I find gaming monitors usually have poor colour performance.]]>Feb 1st 2010 2:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/acers-gd235hz-23-6-inch-3d-display-is-ready-for-your-glasses-eq/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/acers-gd235hz-23-6-inch-3d-display-is-ready-for-your-glasses-eq/
No it isn't the "same damn thing." If that were the case, every monitor that had a 1920 x 1080 resolution would have the exact same number of pixels, regardless of size. You're telling me a 30 inch 1080 monitor has the exact same number of pixels as a 22 inch?]]>Feb 1st 2010 4:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/acers-gd235hz-23-6-inch-3d-display-is-ready-for-your-glasses-eq/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/acers-gd235hz-23-6-inch-3d-display-is-ready-for-your-glasses-eq/
Seriously?? Of course a 30" 1920x1080 display has the same pixel count as a 22" 1920x1080 display! What does 1920x1080 mean? 1920 pixels across by 1080 pixels. Lines of resolution refers to a line of pixels. So in the case of 120 lines of resolution missing from this weird looking monitor, you could say it's missing 120 horizontal lines of pixels or 120*1920 total pixels. Which is quite a lot. 16:9 sucks ]]>Feb 2nd 2010 10:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/acers-gd235hz-23-6-inch-3d-display-is-ready-for-your-glasses-eq/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/acers-gd235hz-23-6-inch-3d-display-is-ready-for-your-glasses-eq/Feb 1st 2010 9:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/acers-gd235hz-23-6-inch-3d-display-is-ready-for-your-glasses-eq/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/acers-gd235hz-23-6-inch-3d-display-is-ready-for-your-glasses-eq/Feb 1st 2010 9:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/acers-gd235hz-23-6-inch-3d-display-is-ready-for-your-glasses-eq/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/acers-gd235hz-23-6-inch-3d-display-is-ready-for-your-glasses-eq/

I hope the image quality is also good in glasses-free 2D mode.]]>Feb 1st 2010 9:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/acers-gd235hz-23-6-inch-3d-display-is-ready-for-your-glasses-eq/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/acers-gd235hz-23-6-inch-3d-display-is-ready-for-your-glasses-eq/It's rather expensive actually, considering that basically it's a $200 premium for nothing more than some additional vertical refresh Hz and that for a 24" class display it;s not 1200 vertical lines. My 22" display can do 120Hz (minimu required for 3D) over HDMI 1.3 and/or DVI, has 1200 vertical lines, 16:10 view, and it was under $200 2 years ago when i bought it. It's "3D ready" per all prerequisites, all I'm lacking is a driver and some software. ]]>Feb 1st 2010 10:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/acers-gd235hz-23-6-inch-3d-display-is-ready-for-your-glasses-eq/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/acers-gd235hz-23-6-inch-3d-display-is-ready-for-your-glasses-eq/
It will be fine. All it does is display left eye frame, right eye frame, alternating really fast. The glasses block your right eye from the left eye frames and your left eye from the right eye frames.

There's no reason why the image quality would be less than normal for glasses-free 2d viewing.]]>Feb 1st 2010 3:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/acers-gd235hz-23-6-inch-3d-display-is-ready-for-your-glasses-eq/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/acers-gd235hz-23-6-inch-3d-display-is-ready-for-your-glasses-eq/
Hmm, i seem to have been a bit confused about the type of technology that was used here, i thought it had double the number of pixels and used polarizers to produce the left and right eye images simultaneously.

If it's just flickering both images one after the other it really shouldn't be much different from ordinary monitors.]]>Feb 1st 2010 5:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/acers-gd235hz-23-6-inch-3d-display-is-ready-for-your-glasses-eq/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/acers-gd235hz-23-6-inch-3d-display-is-ready-for-your-glasses-eq/
The 3D part is just a marketing checkbox. You still need the fancy shutter glasses, sold separately.

Been waiting a long time for one of these. Mine shipped Friday.]]>Feb 1st 2010 9:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/acers-gd235hz-23-6-inch-3d-display-is-ready-for-your-glasses-eq/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/acers-gd235hz-23-6-inch-3d-display-is-ready-for-your-glasses-eq/
I think we just need to stick with 16:9, we got 1.85:1 and 2.39:1 for movies. How much wider can we go? They got us to movie to 16:9 TVs and movies are even wider.]]>Feb 1st 2010 10:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/acers-gd235hz-23-6-inch-3d-display-is-ready-for-your-glasses-eq/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/acers-gd235hz-23-6-inch-3d-display-is-ready-for-your-glasses-eq/
Computers have been using 16:10 for the longest. Televisions are pretty much capped at 16:9. If I were in the market for televisions, I'd want a 16:9 television. But for my computer monitor, I want more resolution. I like being able to display that teeny-tiny bit more that a 1920 x 1200 resolution can give me.

Not to mention the fact that most midrange monitors can also display 1:1, so it centers the picture and gives the actual resolution.

Basically, I can "turn down" a higher res monitor, but I can't "turn up" a lower one.]]>Feb 1st 2010 10:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/acers-gd235hz-23-6-inch-3d-display-is-ready-for-your-glasses-eq/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/acers-gd235hz-23-6-inch-3d-display-is-ready-for-your-glasses-eq/Feb 1st 2010 1:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/acers-gd235hz-23-6-inch-3d-display-is-ready-for-your-glasses-eq/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/acers-gd235hz-23-6-inch-3d-display-is-ready-for-your-glasses-eq/why do we need these new 3d lcd ?

Well done glossing over the whole "I don't want to have to have glasses all over the house" point. It's VERY valid. And the active shutter glasses you mention are ever MORE expansive. So not only do I need a 3D TV, a source that provides 3D programming, a 3D compatible graphics card and 3D kit for that, 3D Monitor...but now I have to make sure there's enough glasses and spares lying about just to watch TV or play a game. How expensive is all this going to be just to give most people a headache?]]>Feb 1st 2010 10:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/acers-gd235hz-23-6-inch-3d-display-is-ready-for-your-glasses-eq/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/acers-gd235hz-23-6-inch-3d-display-is-ready-for-your-glasses-eq/
If you watched Avatar in 3D, you probably noticed the glasses were different than the ones you used for scary movies in the 1950s, the grammys, SI swimsuit editions or superbowl commercials in the 1980s. The reason for the different glasses is because your TV, like 1950s movie theaters, is not really 3D capable.

Thinking the Grammys last night were in real 3D would be like thinking DVD was real HD, just because it was higher definition than your VHS.]]>Feb 1st 2010 10:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/acers-gd235hz-23-6-inch-3d-display-is-ready-for-your-glasses-eq/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/acers-gd235hz-23-6-inch-3d-display-is-ready-for-your-glasses-eq/
Nobody is "confused". This isn't red/blue 3D. This uses shutter glasses which will give your eyes a truly different picture fast enough where to you it looks like things are moving in three-dimensional space. That's why a special monitor and graphics card are necessary.

Until I see how 3D content is going to be delivered I am not going buy any 3D related equipment. I learned that from HD-DVD.

I would guess that since the blueray player (if integrated into your desktop or HTPC) would have to speak to the nVidia software, it would really be up to nVidia whether this would be possible. You could connect a standalone player directly to the monitor I suppose - would check the HDMI spec etc required first though.]]>Feb 1st 2010 2:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/acers-gd235hz-23-6-inch-3d-display-is-ready-for-your-glasses-eq/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/acers-gd235hz-23-6-inch-3d-display-is-ready-for-your-glasses-eq/Feb 1st 2010 11:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/acers-gd235hz-23-6-inch-3d-display-is-ready-for-your-glasses-eq/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/acers-gd235hz-23-6-inch-3d-display-is-ready-for-your-glasses-eq/
