3D gaming on the PC continues to get easier, with screens now regularly shipping with Nvidia's clever 3D Vision tech built in.

Viewsonic is the latest to join in the third dimensional fun with a potent 120Hz, 1080p, 24 inch display. Also thrown in for good measure is a 2ms video response time, meaning signals churned out from your powerful gaming rig will look ultra-smooth. The 20,000,000:1 contrast ratio isn't bad either.

Nvidia's 3D Vision is the PC gamers take on 3D gaming. As it stands there is more than 500 titles that support it and a decent enough rig will run things in proper 1080p and at 60fps. HDMI 1.4 means you can also run consoles and 3D Blu-ray players through the monitor.

Expect to pay £350 for the Viewsonic monitor, plenty less than a 3D TV. Launch window-wise, the V3D245 lands September time.

Viewsonic really one-ups Sony with the Nvidia 3d support. Now my choice of a 3d monitor to purchase has been complicated two-fold

I don't really think it's competition. Sony has the PS TV bundled.

all these screens are too tiny (viewsconic is going after the pc market though)

I have a ViewSonic monitor and I'm pretty happy with it, if these guys compete toe-to-toe with Sony it would be interesting. This is more for PC gamers like Joe88 says but I think there could be some indirect competition. Look how much Just Cause 2, the 3D gamer game, costs on Steam vs PSN. I could see PC gamers that don't need a big display jumping on this.

Oh man, 350$?

It's £350, it'll be more like $550 :|

I thought the Playstation TV wasn't 3D? I've yet to find a retailer near me that sells one, nor an international retailer that won't charge half the price in shipping. I'd love to have one of those in my room. I wonder what model PS2 it is - built in modified PS2 would be awesome.

As for this though, the more the merrier, I suppose.

Actually, they're aiming for the general gaming market. PC/PS3/Xbox 360. All that good stuff.

all these screens are too tiny (viewsconic is going after the pc market though)These are designed for desk gaming, not living-room gaming. And because of that, they're perfectly sized.

But 3D is how it works. The glasses work so that when playing multiplayer, it separates the screen so that Player 1 only sees the left-eye image, while Player 2 only sees the right-eye image (both in 2D), while in singleplayer the player sees each image in each eye (for the 3D effect).

Which games currently use this feature?

 

[awssk8er]

Still not worth the money just for 3D, in my opinion...

The only reason why I was considering the Sony monitor is because I wanted to play my Wii and PS3 through the monitor instead of the TV... but there are many cheaper ways to do that.

Does anyone know if these will support amd gpus?

 

[Joe88]

Does anyone know if these will support amd gpus?

no, it only supports nvidia cards
an alternative is an iZ3D screen

The 20,000,000:1 contrast ratio isn't bad either.

Why wont people realize that dynamic contrast is a completely worthless stat?

For a computer screen it's slightly above the average size and is plenty sufficient for most users. The average monitor size today and what is considered the standard is a 22 inch screen. Unfortunately most of the other 3D capable screens available for computers are very expensive, 350 dollars isn't bad in the grand scheme of things. As for me, I wouldn't consider getting it since I don't really care about 3D gaming on my computer and I use AMD graphics anyway.
