    I have a 22" LG monitor, and im pretty happy with it. Don't feel like moving to the 3d era, btw my glasses pretty mess up everything. Hope to take them off soon though. 90% of the electronics in my house are LG, it's my choice of a brand, they're very reliable, and work just great! As always LG has proven themselves right :)

    Like all some others here, I wonder whether this will be not too expensive and whether it will or won't give you sore eyes/motion sickness. Though it seems great to finally get a product on the market.

    It's about time a full HD 3D monitor came out, I think the reason a lot of people held off buying the Samsung one was because it was only 1650x1050.

    wait...weren't they doing this same "3d" crap back in the 50s...come on people get over this, Yes it's a nice gimmick but it is not going to sell, What I would like to see more of is that 360degree viewable monitor that Sony demoed at CES. Now that was 3d.

    Umm...3d does sound awesome.I dont think money will matter to me, I'll deff get a 3d set up.

    Something about STILL having to wear glasses to see in 3D that makes it seem a lot more like prehistoric crap than new technology. And its not just 2D if you don't have them on, is garbled graphics and colors to the naked eye.

    This technology is still very early in its development, we have to wait for some time for it to become standard but anyway this is a very good product, the capability of changing from 3D to 2D is very good, specially if you want to see a movie with your friends or show something to a group of people and you don't have enough grasses for everybody, I would buy it if they give it the right price.

    OLED is far more important and better than 3D monitors...

    I agree with those who oppose it. I'm gonna stick with the conventional screen (although I will take my flatscreen instead of those darn fat things. :)

    Glasses is no innovation, innovation would be just having the lens built into the screen. To be honest 3D isn't so amazing that id spend more on it, maybe when it's glasses free and come in something larger than a 23'

    hello ...

    i used to have a pair of voodoo 2 on my late gaming rig, i even purchased a 3D shutter glass VR goggle pack for it, was quite impressive yet made me dizzy. i ended selling it to a friend who never used it & now the PC is dead, the cards are sleeping in some drawers somewhere.

    this technology is old & the new devices coming out haven't revolutionize it, the concept of wearing glasses makes it limited. will be great when we won't need such accessories & have 3D right out of the monitor ... it is possible, yet too expensive. so please manufacturers do go that way instead!

    i may go for a PC monitor with 3D & a glass, if the price is same as others on sale for i already have an HD TV for my Console, will not buy any one soon.

    cheers!

    wearing glasses is a big negative. and it really depends if the 3D is useful or not. if it's just for novelty then no a lot of people are going to want it.

    people switched from CRT to LCD cause it was easier to move and take less space, practical reasons. people are not going to switch to 3D if it costs lot more than normal sets unless there's some real practical reason for having 3D LCD TVs

    I thought 3D TV will out first.. this is the way, it is more suitable for computer monitor. i can't wait to play games in 3D mode =P

    I agree with a comment above that this tech is really 3-4 years away. 3D isn't new though as I remember getting the 3D glasses with my Geforce 2 GTS 32mb card back in the day.
  17. UglyChild Newcomer, in training Posts: 34

    Heh... LG needs to catch up.

    Philips and Mitsubishi made a 3D tv with out the need of glasses.
  18. levar Newcomer, in training Posts: 232

    yup, and rather quick I may say technology is moving fast.

    Old technology you say. If I'm not mistaken 3d movies with the funny glasses came out in the 50's.

    I f'ing love my 3D Vision and 22" samsung monitor (1050P), adding 30 more verticle pixels and an inch doesn't interest me, but the 3D news broadcasts sound awesome! I can't even find 3D movies to play with this unit.

    Although your "switches 2D to 3D on the fly" is stupid. Of course it can.
