LG Releases First Commercial HD 3D Monitor

Tweet

South Korea’s LG has rolled out the world’s first fully HD 3D LCD display, to much self-back patting. The 3D display, which is unnamed in their press release, offers a full HD picture and claims to be crisper than current 3D display in the market place.

How does it work, well, it’s the same 3D technology that’s been around forever. The right and left eye see two barely different pictures, tricking your mind into seeing depth. And yes, you’ll need to wear glasses with this display. LG listed the applications for this monitor as video gaming, watching movies and animations. No comment on what software supports it.

3D tech has been on bit a comeback lately, with American graphics card manufacturer NVIDIA has offered a 3D Vision kit this year that lets you game in 3D, and various 3D motion pictures are in production by American movie studios. LG hopes that their HD 3D monitor will help accelerate more HD 3D content in the future. LG’s home country, South Korea, has announced that they are going to begin experimenting with 3D HD digital broadcast television, starting in 2010.

Despite declaring that they had ‘released’ the first HD 3D montior, no pricing or availability (or even a name and model number) on the monitor were released to the public.
