14 DAY TRIAL // EIZO has released a very large number of high-end display solutions targeting the professional segment over the years, and now they're back with yet another piece of technological marvel, the company introducing the DuraVision FDF2301-3D, a naked eye, glasses free 3D monitor that also provides full HD resolution on a nifty 23-inch diagonal size. Without a doubt, the main selling point the new PC monitor from EIZO has to offer is represented by its capacity to view 3D images without requiring any glasses but, in order to do so, users have to respect the recommended viewing distance set at around 890mm. And apparently, we're talking about multiple 3D viewing modes, that include Side by Side, Anaglyph, Frame Sequential, and Dual Input. The monitor uses a directional Backlight solution, enabling the development of parallax 3D images, which do not require glasses in order to be viewed. EIZO's glasses-free 3D monitor comes with two DVI-D interfaces and one VESA Stereo Sync port and, beside 1080p resolution, provides a pixel pitch of 0.2655mm x 0.2655mm. The display allows users to select the language, the power light, reset, brightness, contrast, digital gain, gamma, color temperature, tint, color depth, while some physical adjustments (tilting and 360-degree swiveling) are also possible. We'll also have to mention that the device measures 650 x 261.7x 566.3mm and weighs 16kg, which means that carrying it around is not exactly advisable. As far as pricing and availability details are concerned, EIZO is a bit vague, the company mentioning however that we should expect this advanced display 3D display solution to start shipping in the first half of 2011, with pricing being set in the range of “millions of Yen” (one million Yen is currently US$12,000, so you can imagine for yourselves just how expensive this thing will be).
