The unit that I received was a pre-production version. I was assured that it was pretty close to the final product.
As far as does it work? That is a definite YES! It works, rather very well I may add. When playing RTCW I did notice that sometimes I'd tend to get out of the "focus area" and the picture would become blurred or loose the 3D effect. After watching my son play on the Nintendo and watching him jump around like his pants are on fire, I thought about the other people that I have played against and got to thinking that the monitor would not be for the every day gamer, until they could resolve the "focus area" issues.
As for a coolness factor and innovative technology, on a scale of 1 to 10, I'd give it a 10. The 3D picture is not a crisp as it is on a standard CRT or LCD, I am assuming that is do to the technology. One thing that I did notice is that during fast paced games the monitor didn't suffer as badly from ghosting, if any at all, as standard LCDs do.
If you visit DTI's web site take a look at their products page. They have quite a selection, though allot of it looks as if it is for the medical research industry. Imagine being able to look at a DNA strand in 3D.
DTI has got my attention. Any one that walked into my house noticed the monitor, they were even more blown away when I showed them what it does. One of my friends said that after viewing a few pictures that he felt a little dizzy. I never felt any effects. I feel the technology is a little immature and I am looking forward to other products that will improve its uses.
Pros :
- Technology - way cool
- Compact - very small desk space usage
- No need for goofy lookin' 3D shutter glasses
- 2D was very clear and bright.
Cons :
- Price - The 15" is priced at $1699.00 USD the
18" is priced at $5995.00 USD.
- Limited movement in order to see the 3D effect
- May cause lightheadedness, headaches, or may leave
you feeling dizzy, though I never experienced any of
these
I want to thank the folks over at DTI for sending us this unit for review. I had a great time.
