…  Now Viewsonic has already displayed the ability to create a polarized 3D monitor and the new model, the V3D271 which will be on sales soon, provides for more widescreen “real-estate” for 3D, being a 27-inch widescreen. It also adds more powerful built-in stereo speakers for audio use (dual 2-watt amplification).  The choice of polarization for 3D makes perfect sense with a monitor: besides the simple fact that the 3D glasses are lightweight, compared to “active” glasses which require electronics and batteries in order to function, the polarized screen of a display is easier on the eyes as well. For sure there is a resolution issue (polarized being less than that of “active”), but on the plus side the image is brighter, the viewing angle less problematic for the viewer and the end price less than if the 3D was created using “active” technology.  All these factors contribute to making a polarized 3D screen an attractive proposition for a monitor.
