The 22\" iZ3D widescreen monitor offers immersive 3D images with the use of passive
polarized glasses. Designed to replace standard two-dimensional monitors, iZ3D
maintains commercial image quality and display brightness, while supporting
long-time viewing without fatigue or eyestrain. This advanced technology uses
existing three-dimensional applications such as PC games and other 3D entertainment.
Plus, with the push of a hotkey it becomes a standard two-dimensional (\"2D\") monitor
for the Web or word processing.
?The iZ3D 22\" monitor offers the first S-3D drivers to be compatible with popular
dual output cards, including the NVIDIA GeForce 8 Series and the ATI FireGLT V3600
workstation graphics accelerator. These drivers are optimized to take advantage of
Intel's® latest CoreT 2 Duo and Intel® CoreT 2 Quad processor technologies. iZ3D
also features drivers that support Microsoft® DirectX® 8 and 9 graphics in both
Windows® XP and Microsoft® Windows VistaT.
Currently equipped PC's with a dual-output video card easily power the unit.

5ms response time; 700:1 contrast ratio; and 16.7-million colors. The iZ3D 22"
