Neurok Optics iZ3D takes gaming away from the boring 2D monitor

Game developers and hardware manufacturers have been trying so hard all of these years to achieve a realistic 3D effect. They have constantly been improving the quality of the 3D images we see. But there is some inherent problem to all of this: we are viewing the content on a monitor, which is a 2D surface. Only a plane, a monitor does not allow for the viewing possiblities of open space. Neurok Optics� new 22 in. iZ3D Widescreen 3D LCD monitor is the next step in battling 2D away. While it might not give you the “fall out of your chair” feeling that a beautiful IMAX 3D theatre might, it’s still pretty cool. The monitor makes you use passive, polarized 3D glasses that they claim relieve the problems of fatigue and eyestrain. For basic specs, the iZ3D runs at a native resolution of 1680 x 1050. It features a   nice 170-degree viewing angle, 600:1 contract ration, and 16.7 million colors. Don’t worry if you need to use the monitor for “normal” use, it has the ability to change back into boring 2D mode. — Nik Gomez
