ViewSonic Brings 3D Gaming to the Desktop with its 24” AMD-certified LED Monitor
ViewSonic has launched its first 24" 3D-LED monitor, the V3D241wm-LED, giving people the opportunity to watch 3D content in full HD. The monitor has been certified by AMD for use with its Radeon range of graphics cards, ensuring maximum compatibility and ease of use. The monitor includes a set of wired active shutter glasses, allowing users with a compatible computer to get started right out of the box.
Using the included 3D glasses, the V3D241wm-LED can display 3D games and movies without any loss of quality by taking advantage of the monitor's 120Hz frame rate and ultra-fast 2ms response time. The ultra-responsive LED screen has a brightness level of 300 nits and a contrast ratio of 20,000,000:1, providing a high level of detail and colour reproduction.
"ViewSonic have been a great company to work with, and it is clear that they are dedicated to producing fantastic display technology," says Darren Grasby, corporate vice president, Sales, EMEA at AMD. "The ViewSonic V3D241wm-LED is an ideal match for AMD Radeon graphics cards, as it will enable one of the most compelling stereo 3D experiences currently available."
"With the quality of graphics in today's films and computer games constantly on the rise, users are demanding display technology that can do justice to this content at a reasonable price," explains James Coulson, European marketing manager, ViewSonic. "The V3D241wm-LED combines ViewSonic's display pedigree with advanced features like HD and 3D, providing an immersive viewing experience, but able to perform as a quality 2D monitor when required."

Not that i really want 3d, i just want 120hz monitors for gaming even if at higher res it would be hard for many cards to push the frame rate that high, i have high hopes for the future... or i'm just delusional.
Purty looking screen mind you.
And your right, it does look very nice.
But you can get similar 3D Vision approved displays from Asus and Acer (with the Asus one being pretty damn nice) with the 3D Vision glasses for not much more.
Really nvidia has much better options as there is many 120hz monitors bundled with the glasses and transmitter pack, really amd needs their own pack like it.
Just means no battery changes.
My last pair of headphones, desk standing mic, 2 mice and keyboard were all replaced due to the wire breaking inside right at the point the wire went into them from being flexed so much a couple of those things i rewired but i suck at soldering so they needed to be fied a couple more times before i replaced them. If the glasses are wiered there would have to a pretty easy way to get a replacement for an ok price.
I would assume that with the 6xxx cards there will be companys releasing active 3d setups that work well with AMD.
You must fidget alot XD
I use my mouse and keyboard on my lap with a very thin sheet of fiber board as a giant (26" by 20") mouse pad and to support for the keyboard and i often place the mic on my numpad while gaming, i know a headset would solve the mic problem but i have always prefered a seperate mic.
Of course no glasses will be the best solution as you will not have the dimming effect.
