Samsung reported plans to launch its newest stereoscopic 3D product: A 22-inch 3D monitor. The Samsung 2233RZ, which is compatible with NVIDIA’s new GeForce 3D Vision graphics card, is scheduled for availability in April. The system uses active shutter glasses and a 120Hz LCD monitor. It’s priced at $399.
Samsung reported that the monitor, in conjunction with NVIDIA software, could automatically convert over 350 games to stereoscopic 3D.
Asked about the company’s view of 3D in the home, Tim Baxter, executive VP of sales and marketing at Samsung, said: “We are very optimistic about the opportunities for 3D in the home. It’s taking a little time to do that. There are a lot of elements in terms of getting content created, and how we work with the community to create that in packaged form, for instance. It also involves the social dynamic of wearing glasses. We are finding consumers who are buying our 3D capable solutions with the glasses love the experience. I think it is evolving.”
Reflecting the green theme of the show, the monitor has an automatic shutdown feature built-in for energy savings.
