Mitsubishi Diamondcrysta 3D Monitor Has an IPS Panel

Mitsubishi is one of the many IT companies that deal in display solutions, and it looks like the latest product to leave its labs is a high-end monitor from the Diamondcrysta collection.

The thing about liquid crystal displays is that they have a host of technologies that each panel may or may not be equipped with.

Some features enhance brightness and/or contrast, others boost the number of colors, some reduce power consumption and some, rarer ones do more than one thing at once (LED boosts brightness and overall image quality while reducing power draw, for instance).

The IPS (in-plane switching) technology is something that grants wide viewing angles to any LCD is is applied upon.

Back when they were first developed, LCDs had the problem that they were only clear and visible when the user sat right in front of them, since the light was perpendicular to the display area.

Since then, this issue has been largely solved, and IPS panels are those known for the widest angles, in this case 178 degrees both horizontally and vertically.

The product in question goes by the name of RDT233WX-3D and is part of Mitsubishi's Dyamondcrysta line.

With a diagonal length of 23 inches, the newcomer, as its name implies, can render 3D images, complemented by the bundled glasses.

The native resolution is of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels (Full HD), while the contrast ratio is of 1,000:1 (DCR of 5,000:1).

Furthermore, D-Sub, DVI and dual-HDMI ports are present, and the response time is of 3.8 ms GTG (gray to gray).

Finally, the Giga Clear II image enhancement engine is present, along with Picture-in-Picture functionality and LED backlighting.

With a price of 52,800 yen, the rough equivalent of $646, the RDT233WX-3D should start selling on May 30, in Japan. There is no way of knowing, at least at the moment, when, if ever, other countries will receive this stereoscopic 3D monitor.
