The advance of technology, we are witnessing tremendous changes in our world. Someof these concern the manner in which to watch TV content, movies, and view on our computers. The ability to view 3D content is one of the emerging technologies that allow you to watch your favorite movies, TV shows, and play your favorite video games in 3D.3D technology is a fine example of the film Avatar, is the highest grossing film of all time.One reason is that the 3D technology immerses you to the point where you feel like youreally belong to it. Many people came and I saw the movie many times. For a long time the only way to see the 3D content has been shown in cinemas. However, you can now buy television sets and computer monitors that allow you to do the same thing. TheW2363D LG is such a device. The real question - 3D is long enough to justify buying anew monitor or TV?
Build quality: When I opened the box for this monitor looked great and felt solid. The screen on this model has a matte finish. The casing is a glossy black and holds ontodust and fingerprints quite easily. The controls are touch sensitive and are at the bottom right of the body. One of the biggest problems I encountered with these buttons are notbacklit, and I had to move my head and sometimes I use a light to find the right button to change the source or access the menu.
Features: The biggest attraction of this monitor is its ability to display 3D content. To do this you need a PC that meets the required standards in terms of video card andconnect the display. You also need the NVIDIA 3D Vision kit. The monitor displays the 3D content by displaying two images overlap and are filtered to display only one imageper eye goggles are included with the kit from NVidia. Using this technique, each eyesees only one image, the brain fuses together and then you can see in 3D.

Usability: When I first turned on the monitor, the gamma, brightness, and contrast were in dire need of adjustment. It took me some time to get it in the gravy zone. This can be a big drag for the average consumer who does not know how to adjust these settings. The other problem I encountered is that it does not save the adjustments based upon the input selected; when you switch to a different source it may be too dark or too bright. Once setup, however, the screen looks amazing. Another problem I came across is that when one source gets turned off, the screen will go blank for 1-2 seconds. I have both my Xbox 360 and PC hooked up to the monitor and this can be quite a drag while playing an online game.
The screen displays up to 120Hz which is far beyond what the eye can discern. The purpose of the high refresh rate is so the monitor can accurately display 3D content. Playing videos, viewing pictures, and playing games in 3D can be quite a thrill. Video games play and look more lifelike. You can accurately discern how far an item or enemy is away from you. There are quite a few games out there that have been upgraded to allow you to use this technology. Bioshock is one of these games. I’ve played through the entire game in 2D before, but when the game was played in 3D it took on a new life; it feels completely new. Movies and videos shot in 3D look amazing. People are lifelike; they have form and look like they are just on the other side of the screen. The only problem with 3D is that it is an emerging market. Content in 3D is few and far between. The only videos I’ve found are located on NVidia’s website. Granted they look amazing, but you are left wanting more. You can play 3D Blu-ray’s on your computer if you have a Blu-ray drive in your PC. The monitor can only display content located on your computer. Unlike 3D TV’s which can be used to watch 3D TV shows and sports games?
