The 22″ iZ3D widescreen monitor is capable of displaying immersive 3D images with passive polarized glasses. It is designed to replace standard two-dimensional monitors while maintaining commercial image quality and display brightness. iZ3D supports long-time viewing without causing fatigue or eyestrain. This advanced technology takes existing three-dimensional applications such as PC games, 3D entertainment and allows users to experience 3D in a way they never could with a standard two-dimensional (“2D”) monitor.
The iZ3D 22″ monitor offers the first S-3D drivers to be compatible with popular dual output cards, including the NVIDIA GeForce 8 Series and the ATI FireGL V3600 workstation graphics accelerator. These drivers also are optimized to take advantage of IntelOs latest Core 2 Duo and Intel Core 2 Quad processor technologies. iZ3D also features drivers that support Microsoft DirectX 8 and 9 graphics in both Windows XP and Microsoft Windows Vista.
iZ3D developed this unique technology to create an adjustable 3D environment without causing eyestrain, spatial disorientation, or headaches. In 3D mode, viewers can see bright, sharp 3D images and video by wearing a pair of iZ3D passive polarized glasses.
Most current PCOs equipped with a dual-output video card easily power the unit. Specifications include: 1680 x 1050 resolution; up to 170-degree 3D viewing angle; 5ms response time; 700:1 contrast ratio; and 16.7-million colors. The iZ3D 22O widescreen, 3D gaming monitor is available now via newegg.com or the iZ3D.com website for $799.00.
