3D Monitors coming down in price - Still expensive
iZ3D has been shipping 19″ and 22″ 3D monitors for a while now mainly aimed at gamers. How the 3D monitor technology works is better explained here. The manufacturer has announcedprice cuts for their bottom line models but there’s quite a few glitches that will score negative points and chase away potential customers. First and foremost, in order to get the iZ3D to work properly you must install the S-3D drivers which are compatible with all major ATI & Nvidia graphics cards. But there are currently no 64-bit drivers so anyone using a 64-bit operating system is SOL. Additionally, for you more hardcore gamers, these LCD’s will not work in SLI or Crossfire configurations. If you use an Nvidia card, forget about using more than one monitor. The 22″ iZ3D model had a $1,000 price tag but it has dropped down to $599. Will this help this technology take off? Personally, I think they should start making these for console(360, PS3, Wii) units. Gamers are moving away from PC’s over to the console arena anyways so they’ll have better market share.
