Mobile Performance for Work and Advanced 3D for Play
Bringing entertainment to a new dimension, the Aspire AS5745DG offers the latest in 3D viewing and display technology, allowing images and games to literally pop from the screen. The AS5745DG brings 3D movies and games to life with stunning realism thanks to the superb combination of the most advanced 3D technology, fast Intel Core i5 processors, and powerful NVIDIA GeForce GT 420M graphics, which accelerates applications to make visual effects more realistic.

Utilizing NVIDIA 3D Vision technology, the AS5745DG notebook features true 120Hz LCD technology to deliver a full-resolution 3D experience. The notebook's 15.6-inch Acer CineCrystal HD widescreen display (1366 x 768 resolution) paired with advanced active 3D shutter glasses with a built-in IR receiver, deliver left and right images on alternating frames to the user, while each eye continues to see a full 60Hz signal. This allows each eye to receive the full resolution of the display with wide viewing angles, rendering premium 3D optics with added depth to on-screen visuals, text and objects.

A complete 3D entertainment center, the AS5745DG features Acer Arcade Deluxe to convert 2D to 3D images with a single click. Customers can enjoy the latest 3D movies with Dolby Home Theater v3 surround sound or engage in action-packed gaming, with many PC games easily transformed into stereoscopic 3D right out of the box. Customers can also use the notebook's HDMI port to connect to HD displays and TVs to create cinema-quality entertainment in the living room.

Beyond 3D enjoyment, the Aspire 5745DG provides multi-purpose computing performance along with plenty of ways to access, store, share and enjoy their digital files and applications. The spacious 500GB hard drive can store a vast library of music, video, photos, spreadsheets, documents and email. An integrated multi-in-one media reader enables a convenient connection to peripherals and electronic devices, while the four USB 2.0 ports provide ample connections to peripherals and consumer electronics.

The Aspire AS5745DG notebook's integrated 802.11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi CERTIFIED wireless technology and Gigabit Ethernet facilitates smooth and trouble-free emailing and web browsing. The Acer Crystal Eye 1.3 megapixel HD webcam enables high-quality video chats and VoIP with friends, family and work associates. The notebook's ample 9-cell battery also keeps users untethered to a power source for hours of mobile entertainment enjoyment.
The new Acer Aspire AS5745DG will be available at select online retailers beginning in late October with prices being at MSRP $999.99.

New HD Notebook Tech Features for Better Cinematic Playback and Productivity
In addition to the 3D model, the Aspire AS5742G, AS5745 and AS7745 lines offer an attractive range of features including NVIDIA Optimus technology, Blu-ray drives and quad-core processing on select models.

With LED-backlit display options to suit entertainment needs and provide outstanding visual experiences, the AS5742G and AS5745 Series sports a 15.6-inch high-definition (HD) widescreen display (1366 x 768 resolution), while the AS7745 Series touts a 17.3-inch HD+ widescreen display (1600 x 900 resolution).

The Aspire AS5742G and AS5745 Series offer up to a 500GB hard drive for storing a vast library of music, video, images, movies and games. The notebooks are powered by the latest Intel Core i3, Core i5 and Core i7 processors, which enable even the most demanding users to multitask quickly and easily. Notebooks with Intel Core i5 or Core i7 processors boast Intel Turbo Boost Technology, which automatically speeds up the processor when the PC requires extra performance.

Not bad, but... I'm tired of seeing 15.6" displays with 1366x768 res, especially with something like this 3D capable, 120Hz display. That's a great res for my 13.3" Acer Timeline, but stepping up to that size really needs a boost in resolution.
