The advanced technology is compatible with almost all current gaming or word processing applications and allows users to adjust the 3D environment intensity," stated David Chechelashvili Vice President of Marketing for iZ3D LLC.
"Many gamers have been looking for the next level of excitement in their every-day game play. iZ3D's amazing 3D monitors deliver that level of excitement, and is one product gaming enthusiasts want to have," stated Mark Nielsen, Executive Director of iGames. "We are very excited about this opportunity to showcase an incredible new gaming technology to our community of tech-savvy influencers."
"The iZ3D monitor offers great image quality, a wide viewing angle and accommodates multiple users. It does not give player's headaches, motion sickness or disorientation as earlier 3D versions did. This allows for extended periods of game play and is compatible with most current games," Chechelashvili added.
The bright 17" demo units with 3D LCD Technology makes it possible to view realistic 3D images with the provided polarized glasses. The touch of a button switches the display to 2D viewing for applications such as word processing, spreadsheets or e-mail, with the same clarity expected from a normal LCD monitor. A wide viewing angle allows four to six people to experience 3D action at the same time, with great image quality.
