BF2S Forums New 3D monitor

link doesn't work

EDIT: link works now - it seems like a waste of money at the mo, i'd prob buy one when everysingle thing is written as 3D and not 2D. then it'll look good.

Seems interesting. Although it also seems like the technology isn't mature yet. I'd get one of those... In five years.

yeah
prolly will wait but it looks cool

maybe if it was half that price
I would grab it

virtual reality is right around the corner

Zalman also produces 3D monitors.

So, if I play CoD4, will the gun be outside the monitor?

If you haven't, take a good look into this.

Up until I saw this, I'd be leaning towards agreeing with you Freezer, 3D monitors up to this point have used a slightly different technique, but this one is doing it in a slightly better way.

It works on both ATi and nVidia GPUs and has ok specs - 22", 5ms, 1680 x 1050 native.

If I had the money, I'd get one.

OH, and you're not attached to the monitor/graphics-card by a cable - so more than one person will be able to view the 3d-image (though it will have a very definite 'sweet-spot').

I was thinking the exact same thing lol.

Imagine playing BF2 and flying head-on into another jet. D:

I would have to actually see this thing in person but even then I doubt I would ever buy it until the technology became mainstream and actually worth a damn. As it stands now, it only looks like an overpriced piece of shit, and I can't imagine that the detail would be that great on games... maybe movies though.

It won't do shag all for movies. Unless it's special stereoscopic movies.

The source needs to output stereo images - one for the left eye and one for the right.

Any (I believe) DX8 or later GPU that can display full 3D on two screens will do.

And you'd be surprised at just how much more detailed games look in proper 3D.



@Freke - what % of games will work properly with it, in your estimation?

ok first  thing this monitor is for real.  the basic effect is that it looks as if you have a monitor but instead of a screen there is a paper city inside full of action figures running around and you just wanna reach inside and play with em but you can't of course.   Makes half life 1 look 100 times better than half life 2 in the good ole boring flat-o-vision. Both games are supported btw. Here is a list of supported games:

Note that this is just the games that were tested and are known to work. If you have a directX game chances are it will work, and openGL support is coming soon.

regarding 3d movies- yes they are supported also but they have to be actual 3d movies. converting a standard 2d movie to 3d using software, while possible yields very bad results.
