NEC's 3D all-in-one PC set to polarize the market this year

It seems that even the fully-integrated desktop is not immune to the wiles of 3D. NEC has demonstrated an all-in-one desktop PC that features a Blu-ray player and an LCD display that, when paired with some inexpensive polarized glasses, adds a little depth to movie content. That's all we know about it at this point, other than a release date that's been pegged as happening sometime in 2010, with Impress indicating that it could even be sometime in the first half of this year. The question is, of course: will anyone buy it?

When will all this 3D rubbish end? I don't want to look at 3D if I have to wear glasses. 2D is fine, they just want you to buy new stuff.

[JamesR Posted Apr 19th 2010 8:59AM]

@Fat Wombat

I was thinking the exact same thing. Now that the 2D images are as good as anyone wants them they need to find new sh*t for us to buy.

Now 3D racing games might be worth the scratch :).

[Domenech Posted Apr 19th 2010 9:13AM]

@Fat Wombat Half of us are already wearing glasses. What bother would it be if they become 3D instead of 2D?

[Archon Posted Apr 19th 2010 9:14AM]

@Fat Wombat I actually quite like 3D movies. Avatar was spectacular, and I saw it twice: once in 2D and once in 3D. 3D was better by far.

[Schmich Posted Apr 19th 2010 11:12AM]

@Fat Wombat There is one good outcome from this. When true glass-less 3D will come out and be affordable to the average Joe there will be lots and lots of 3D media to digest.

It solves the chicken and the egg problem.

[Alimas Posted Apr 19th 2010 11:19AM]

@Fat Wombat
I'm ok with glasses too. What's your big gripe?

[Plazmic Flame Posted Apr 19th 2010 12:22PM]

@Fat Wombat

I think this whole 3D push is BS...every seen the movie Blindness?

[Bongo123 Posted Apr 19th 2010 5:32PM]

@Fat Wombat Away back to the 80's then, some of us can afford new tech and want to see advances in TV & Gaming, your like my da ffs

I'd polarize her

[iLoveApple Posted Apr 19th 2010 8:47AM]

@Lee IV Holy cow, that was EXACTLY what I was gonna write.

[Andronicus Posted Apr 19th 2010 9:17AM]

@Lee IV
I wanna polarize her market, but you beat me to it! -_-

[mps Posted Apr 19th 2010 9:40AM]

@Lee IV That's what she said.

[One Love Posted Apr 19th 2010 10:03AM]

@Lee IV : I can't see the side boob. :(

[compubasic Posted Apr 19th 2010 10:45AM]

@Lee IV

Really? She isn't really good looking... Guess they look better when you're desperate.

[Neros Fiddle Posted Apr 19th 2010 8:55AM]

This whole 3D thing is a vast conspiracy by cheap sunglass makers.

[thanatos465 Posted Apr 19th 2010 8:55AM]

Why is shes using Windows Vista, teh Fuck!

[Archon Posted Apr 19th 2010 9:12AM]

@thanatos465
tis not vista! tis something else on top of 7

[xconan Posted Apr 19th 2010 1:39PM]

@Archon
she's running pdvd

[TareG Posted Apr 19th 2010 8:57AM]

Would the glasses I took back home from Avatar work?

[Sean Connery Posted Apr 19th 2010 9:03AM]

@TareG

I believe so. They are the same generic polarized lenses as she is wearing.

Id put mine to better use to something like that as opposed to Avatar.

I'll get a 3D computer when they release 3D games, specifically L4D2

[damis648 Posted Apr 19th 2010 10:43AM]

@Archon

You can play almost any game if you have an nVidia GPU with nVidia 3D Vision.

[xirsteon Posted Apr 19th 2010 10:05AM]

She's not really typing is she?

[c w j Posted Apr 19th 2010 11:31AM]

creepy lady keeps staring at me...unsure if she realizes she doesn't need glasses to see me in 3D.

[designer989 Posted Apr 19th 2010 11:48AM]

I can't get over those stupid glasses. I will never get into 3d. Total gimmick.

[TechBlogger Posted Apr 19th 2010 12:00PM]

When a monitor can do 3D without the glasses I'll get interested. My question is have there been any studies on long term use of 3D glasses?

[eddybreezy Posted Apr 19th 2010 2:30PM]

the only reason i even looked at this was because of the seemingly cute girl. verdict...shes not even cute.
interesting topic but im going to wait until we get better at 3D

[a falling stone Posted Apr 19th 2010 5:08PM]

@eddybreezy

And slightly mental. Look Her eyes are crossed!

[Girish Posted Apr 19th 2010 8:36PM]

That proves that 3D glasses can make the hottest babe look lame

[NewBie Posted Apr 20th 2010 9:28AM]

@Girish

You should see her without the dark glasses first. In general ladies are more gorgeous in black ;)
