ASUS G51J 3D brings NVIDIA 3D Vision to notebooks

ASUS G51J 3D brings NVIDIA 3D Vision to notebooks

nvidiaNVIDIA announced today the impending release of the ASUS G51J 3D laptop, which features a 120Hz LG display to enable NVIDIA 3D Vision support.

Introduced earlier this year for desktop PCs, NVIDIA® 3D Vision™ technology instantly became the preferred 3D solution for playing computer games, watching movies, or viewing photographs in full resolution stereoscopic 3D. NVIDIA today, along with the world’s leading PC manufacturers, notebook panel manufacturers, and content developers, is pleased to announce the expansion of the NVIDIA 3D Vision ecosystem to include high-definition notebook platforms that integrate advanced 120Hz 3D Vision-capable displays directly into the chassis for on-the-go 3D.

We previously evaluated NVIDIA’s 3D Vision technology at CES in January, and we still maintain that the technology is easily the best implementation of stereoscopy we’ve ever seen. Using a 120Hz display, each lens of the 3D Vision glasses refreshes at 60Hz, meaning both of your eyes are treated to the same refresh rate used by a normal monitor.

None of Icrontic’s staff experienced any headaches, eye fatigue or motion sickness, and we were very impressed with the depth provided by the technology. Our only concern is pricing, as users must not only buy into the $188 3D Vision kit, but a 120Hz display as well.

The ASUS G51J 3D will go on sale beginning in December, with other OEMs following suit shortly thereafter.
