It appears that the 3D industry is really gaining traction (even though true glasses-free panels are still mostly a dream), as evident by how AOC's upcoming panels supports this functionality.

The market for 3D screens may not be overly large yet, but it is still a far cry from the way it practically didn't exist until late 2010.

Up until that point, the few 3D movies that existed could only be enjoyed in cinemas and on a very small number of TVs/monitors with support for it.

Then, Hollywood began to really make 3D films, prompting the display industry to start releasing more models of this variety.

At present, they all are still dependent on the 3D glasses, which can be of the passive polarization or active shutter variety.

Granted, a few models that can relay glasses-free 3D from several angles do exist, but the technology is still far from perfect.

As such, AOC's stuck to what worked when it devised the e2352Phz, or so a particular report seems to suggest.

The product isn't really all that big, what with its screen size of 23 inches, although one could say that it is still larger than so-called mainstream monitors.

Nevertheless, it does not really compare to HDTVs of 40 inches or more, although it does have a lower price and, being a monitor and not a TV, a different role.

The native resolution is of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels, not really surprising considering the tendency of pretty much every large display to support Full HD. That said, the brightness is of 300 cd/m2, while the response time is of 5ms.

Finally, to work with a great variety of motherboards and graphics cards, AOC gave the panel D-Sub, DVI and HDMI connectors.

Those that would like to buy the newcomer will, unfortunately, have to wait a while, because shipments will only begin in July, 2011. Until then, prospective purchasers can gather the required 249 Euro.
