If this whole 3D fad is going to stick around, can we at least ditch the goofy looking glasses? Eizo is more than happy to oblige with that request and has announced the DuraVision FDF2301-3D, a 23-inch monitor capable of churning out stereoscopic images without requiring any headgear.
According to Eizo, it's the "world's first naked-eye 3D desktop monitor available in the 23-inch size and at full high definition (1920x1080)." To produce the 3D effect without any additional hardware, the panel uses a directional backlight that displays parallax images.
"Furthermore, because the direction of the parallax image that reaches the viewer's left and right eyes is determined by the LED light source of the LCD monitor, the moire and color stripes that occur by using a parallax barrier or lenticular lens as with other naked-eye 3D technologies are not an issue," Eizo explains.
Eizo says it's new display will launch in the second quarter of 2011. No word yet on price.

sounds incredible but look;despicable. It looks like they stuffed layer of 3D screen atop of main screen, that's why it's so thick. or ...

Maybe it's just me. But I get motion sickness from watching 3D television for just 5 minutes.

That monitor is totally not ugly or anything. I can't wait to put one of those on my desk. Man. Just look at that thick sexy bezel.

We don't need 3D.
Screen images might be flat (like in video games), but our eyes and brain can percieve the third dimension without the glasses and "popping out". How is it that you can tell in a game like Call of Duty: Black Ops that your rifle is sticking out farther than your body, even though the screen is flat? It's because of perception. The gun isn't really in any different of a position than everything else in the screen.. it's not sunken into the monitor. It's at the same depth that everything else is. Your eyes see the shape of the screen, they see the shadows, and our brains do the "math" for us. No glasses, gimmicks, or expensive hardware required.

I picked up a pair of the Nvidia glasses a while ago and have used them a fair amount. They add quite a bit that isn't automatically translated by your brain. Yes, we can percieve 3D images as 2D and interpret them... just as we can walk around the street fairly well with one eye closed.
The 3D effect does make a significant difference in the perception of the games. L4D2 is pretty amazing.

Can we please just kill 3D already? It's retarded, and at 10% of the poulace cannot see 3D images anyhow.
